[venom]

http://www.thevenom.com

[TechZsue]

cool, i like it

[runs off to redesign her site]

[FrostedWeb]

Try putting the links on the left and the news in the middle. It took my a while to find everything, and it took a while to load, because im on a 56k (slow) modem. Great job otherwise, keep up the snazzy work.

(snazzy means cool)

[venom]

thx a lot for your words, and i knew that it's gonna be slow on 56k, is it really bad though? I can go lower on few slices :)
take care...

[FrostedWeb]

After its loaded once, it runs like a charm good job

[possum]

The site looks really good, I like the dark stuff...
I don't think you should change the menu position, the arrows show where it's at.
There are two confusing things:
are the traditional artworks complete?
and I don't get it why you seperate the trad.,2d,3d in the menu, because loading all thumbnails won't slow down the site dramaticly, or will it?

hey possum,
ok, first thing, your are right, the artworks are not complete, actually they are, but those are my first sketches i ever made,
so they dont look so impressive, most of my pencil works are still on the paper :)
waitting to be scanned...
and second, i will have to test it, maybe youre right, i should put everything on one page...
ok thx a lot for your comments

Amazing! only got one suggestion I would like to see a rollover image on your buttons. And also would like to create something like that :P

[Osiris]

It's too dark. Lightenen it up.

[possum]

Don't lighten it up, I warn you ;)

[venom]

hey everybody, thx again for your suggestions, rollovers are comming
pretty soon :) and I won't lighten it up :D
there's no need for that in my opinion :P
take care

Hey venom it's me your archnemesis. :D As always I have something to say about your site, sorry but it's tradition. :P

Anyway first thing, don't use images to show text that can be done with an iframe (tutorial Colin?) and normal text. I really like the site and if I remember correctly it is aimed at designers so the resolution and size is fine as not many designers will use anything below 1024x768. As others have said rollovers would be great and I'm glad you're implementing them. I like the navigation but I just had an idea and thought I would put it past you. How about having the navigation inside the horizontal lines? You would need to widen them yes but I think it would look really good, though it's your site and I'm just trying to give you some suggestions. Also is anything going to be in the main space? The background looks great but it feels empty with this mass of space.

As always I am very impressed with your site venom, you're creative and very good with graphics. Keep it up bro, each version just gets better and better!! :roll

[venom]

Hey DO2!
finally! I was a little disapointed that I didnt see your comments:) but finally You spoke up :) Thx a lot as always you are very helpfull I knew I can count on you!
about IFrame, I thought about it, I dont know if you remember, but my first site was designed with iframe, and guess what? there was people complaining about it, so that's why I didnt use it this time... what would you do though?
thx a lot again
venom

[MinistryD]

Yeah I remember it and I also remember the complaints too. Anyway it is totally upto you what you do and in response to your question what would I do? ...Well I would go with an iframe or maybe even just a table. Though as I said it's your choice. Remember it's your site, some people will like what you have done and others will dislike, but that's just the way people are. You can't please everyone, you have to ...umm not upset ....not ignore ...ermm go with what you like best and if that means going against other's views then so be it!! :roll

[venom]

allright!! That's what I wanted to hear :)
I'm gonna do Iframe version to test how I like it... then I'll let you know :lol
Thx again for your comments,
I appreciated your help :notworthy
take care
venom

[rluap]

the news text on the left is kinda hard to read
iframes are just bad
only ie people see them well

[loiosh]

I really like it. The only suggestion I would make is that the writing on the left is a little difficult to read, it seems to be flattened and between that and the font it was a little difficult. Other than that, a big thumbs up!
Also - cool link to the martix :notworthy

[venom]

hey everybody,
thx again for your comments,
all of you are great help!
I think that im gonna go with IFrame,
I'm in the middle of testing it right now,
new version seems to work so much better and Im not having any problems,
even with netscape... well, we shall see :roll
take care
venom

[venom]
