Hey everybody,

I would like to get some comments on the photoshop work that I have done for this web site. Namely the background images and Desktop downloads.

Let me know what you think!

I couldn't get the Toybox to work.

Maybe an IE6.0 Beta bug, I'm not sure, but Flash has yet to be a problem beforehand.

Maybe just some code or something that IE6.0B didn't like....but I didn't get any errors?.........

hmmmm.......

I'll check it out on 5.0 and repost.

The graphic on the initial splash screen looks pretty bad...I would try to recreate it and throw the ratty scanned thing away.

Why pop to a new window?
Take the first splash into the other loading screen in the same window.

Overall, its a very, very nice site. But, since you asked for more replies, I'll give you what I think should be changed, added, taken out, etc.

DON'T, DON'T, DON'T pop-up a window when a user enters the site. Their first reaction will be to close it, and then they won't know what to do at your site. Give them a button to click to enter your site, and let them know it will open in a new window.

I'm not too fond of the background image in your flash file. Specifically, the bottom part looks like a photo enlarged 3000 times.

Get rid of those two moving diagonal lines at the bottom, or lower their opacity; they're a little annoying.

You need to refine your logo. The logo on your start page is really bad quality. You should also put your logo somewhere permanent in your flash file, maybe in the lower left?

On the bottom, where you've got "music," "our work links," etc. you need to let the user know that clicking the bar on the right of those 4 buttons will slide the panel in. None of the other panels on your site that look like this do that.

Let the user know which links will open in a new window, or, better yet, have all your links go to your flash file or a new window.

Make new buttons for your flash file mini-windows (company news, desktop images, etc.) The red and yellow gradient buttons don't look too good, IMO.

Get rid of the "Omnera" text on the right, or make it more than 1 pixel thick.

Make all of your scrollbars the same. Some are arrows, some are bars.

Anyways, thats all that I see right now. I didn't go through all your site, but if you want I can probably find some time in the next few days to go over every link.

I am now dubbing NL2 the official Team Photoshop Nitpicker. :D Carry on...

besides what that guy said, the flash has some skill, i liek it. it can use a little touching up, but all in all the flash is extremely nice.

That Flash Solitare does and doesn't like me.

I played it about 10 times and I think it's impossible to lose.

But, there seems to be a little bit of a problem with the card placement. I was able to put a red 3 on a black 9.

??

I forgot to get a screenshot of it, but I did get a screenshot of this:

Nice site....just fix up the little logo on the first page otherwise wow

[jsinon]

Thanks everybody for your comments on the site and it's functionality. There are some really good points there.

But...

If you actually read my post you would see that I was looking for comments on my Photoshop work that i did in the backgrounds and downloadable desktop images.

I would still love to hear what you think of that.

hey, very awesome website, all of the background images and things were really great, keep up the good work!

everything loads too slow. it took forever to get to your desktop images.

your desktop images look really good but i didn't bother downloading any them. its too much of a pain in the ass to deal with a zip file. you should let the user view the image and then 'set as desktop' with their browser. maybe i am lazy, or maybe i don't have the time to goof around with a zip file just for a wallpaper.

why is this site all flash? all i can seem to find is a bunch of damn text! the answer is designer laziness.

that said, i still think your desktop images look awesome.
