Its extremely well done. I don't exactly love the solid colours, but hey, as long as you like them. Very well done. One thing, I was going to check your resume, but the files aren't there yet. Make sure you remember to get those up.

BTW: nice intro ;)

your right the PDF file would not open and I'm not sure why. Could be a a broken link. Do the GiF and HTML resumes open for you?

I still need to get rid of the exit button at the end of the intro.

In reality, I don't think it will ever be done, but it needs to be done enough for employers to look at.

Maybe the collors are a little dark and the more I look at it the more I think I'm going to change the back ground to a light color and the text to a dark one.

That is a great intro, where ever did you come up with such an idea. wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

You know I don't remember the company that first had an intro movie like that, but it rocked then and it still does. I downloaded there intro form flash kit about 1 and 1/2 years ago. I was expecting it to be a little more complex, but it turned out to be really simple. I spent so much time in Photoshop making the images and that turned out to be the real key for the effects. Luckily, I already had the logo done in max, so I didn't have to spend a lot of time creating a logo. I figured someone word recognize the similarities. ;)

I don't like there newest intro. It has a lot of text that looks fussy. And that stupid zoom into the screen with little ovals flying out from the center (like the second). What's up with that? It is shorter than there first one; that is a big plus for the intro, but over all I think it lacks continuity within it's self and with the web site.

I do like there new site, and the transparent gray look with the smooth title bars are great!!!!. I mean really great. I really like the new menu and the color schemes. That drop down menu is the best. It's not over powering and easy to find what I am searching for.

Over all way better than my site, but I'm not working on mine 8hours a day (or more) and getting payed for it.
I am still thinking about the way the title bars are put together. Humm... I wonder what they would look like in dark/blue.

What do you think about there site? Did you have a hand in it?

I always watch the intro. Being a Flash Designer/Developer I want everyone to watch my stuff so I give people the same credit and watch theirs. Besides an intro is the grabbing point of the site if people like what they see they'll stick around for the site. Its also were you need to show off your strength and flex your muscles a little. :)

Thanks for all the input. It is a big help.

Yeah, the colors are a little dark and I thought about switching to a total gray site or just lighting up the blue. Maybe, I will change it. Right now, I want to get the rest of my content uploaded. There is so much content that I could up load and picking a chousing is not easy.
