Its a nice design...
Ill try and be useful here...
Plain and simple is the key here, links should be consistent - the links at
the bottom of the page are a mixed assortment of the ones at the top, I
would remove them and add them to the left hand menu. All the navigation
would be in one place then, and would aid navigation.
Colours are excellent, contrast well and complement each other.
Today's deals / Special offers.... are they not the same thing? Why
separate them? Are the 4 boxes at the bottom special offers too?
Logo is unclear, would be cool if the logo used the cream in some way to
keep in touch with the colour scheme.
This site reminds me of www.dabs.com , take a look and get some ideas, they
have redone their site and done a good job of it too.
Keep in mind functionality over appearance.
Cheers,
Tom

No, you wouldn't even out. You're allowed to deduct a percentage of your
total business expenses....so you might make out better, or a little worse,
depending on the amount. There are very few deductions where you're allowed
to take 100% of the total.

I (now) also include similar verbiage in contracts (having been burned
once long ago) In some cases, the clients will request that their material
not be included
in your own promotional materials-- but will be happy to provide a reference
instead. Then you have to decide which is more important-- the contract or
portfolio piece.
In my mind, that's usually a no-brainer
(Keep in mind that a lot of what I do is often highly proprietary and for
corporate
internal use-- manuals, training materials, etc. Many companies don't even
like to admit
publicly they outsource that sort of thing. Folks tend to be a little more
protective of that
kind of stuff than they are of their website or ad materials)

| CutterJon - First of all, congratulations on the new job. Secondly, sounds like you need to move beyond this "pissing contest" with your old boss because it seems he intends to push the issue. I know a designer who found himself in a similar situation and the old boss sued him just to make the guy's life miserable. As Alex said - don't post any of this material online or you'll just be asking for trouble. In most employment situations it's best to work with an employer for the use of possible portfolio pieces instead of against them. Many will simply request that the company with whom you were employed be adequately credited for the piece and your participation in the project be clarified. I can more than understand the concerns of a former employer when it comes to the sharing of concepts and projects not yet in place - especially if a designer is seeking work in the local area with the same type of firms. It's also wise for independent designers to clarify their rights when it comes to using client projects for marketing/promotion purposes. Years ago I found myself having to track down clients for permission to use pieces as illustrations in books, magazines and the like. Now those issues are taken care of when I have the client sign my project agreement. Here's what my agreement states (do feel free to use, abuse, alter, etc. for your own purposes): "The designer retains personal rights to use the completed project and any preliminary designs for the purpose of design competitions, future publications on design, educational purposes and the marketing of the designer's business. Where applicable the client will be given any necessary credit for usage of the project elements." - Jeff Jeff Fisher Engineer of Creative Identity Jeff Fisher LogoMotives http://www.jfisherlogomotives.com |

Get this: My outgoing employer asked me to give him a list of the projects I want to take home to put in my portfolio for his approval. (as if I haven't been regularly updating my portfolio with stuff I've been working on.) He says that some stuff that is "not in the public domain" he won't allow me to use. That includes basically all concept drawings and stuff that has not yet been installed (we do mostly environmental design) I was prepared for this-one guy got screwed out of just about all the work he'd done here because he fell for this line. I've always thought the law says that you can use whatever you've worked on, unless you've signed an agreement, which I didn't. Regardless, I already have taken home just about everything I've worked on, so I'll have to come up with a fake list and play along with him. Does anyone know what the (U.S.) laws are about using stuff like concept drawings? Not that the law would stop me... what's he going to do?

Some are a joy to deal with, some are playing dumb, and some you
just have to walk away from because they are either uneducable or
grossly undercapitalized.
Same as in the non-virtual world.
But there are a larger proportion of folks who have
never used a designer for anything in the CM pool
than might be, for example, in a typical chamber of
commerce mailing list of targeted businesses.

As others have posted, a majority of the projects have totally unrealistic ideas, especially when it comes to budgets. And, I wonder how many of the projects actually get awarded. At least on elance, you would be informed as to who the employer chose for the contract. Based on that, in my experience 75% or more of those projects were never awarded. On Moonlighter, the project is only marked "closed" whether the employer actually picks a pro, cancels the listing, or just lets it expire. So there is no way to know how many of the projects actually proceed. Michael Dion MDGraphics www.mdgraphics.com |

of CD's that you already own. i.e. You can make a compilation of all your
favorite songs from CD's that you own and burn it for yourself.
IMHO CDs are overpriced. I think if they were less than $10, the record
companies would sell more and reap in the profits. Remember casette tapes?
They were priced much lower.

I agree totally that music CDs are overpriced.
Popular music is about mass appeal - if the price of the CD goes down
more people will buy it even if it is out of curiosity coz its cheap
enough. The question how greedy is RIAA and all the music mogul wanna be
actually? Aren't they fat enough? Boo hoo, so sorry the Music Industry
is experiencing a CD sales slump. . .geez I wonder why????
I believe is the people is given a fair chance, fair play and breathing
space to adjust to a reasonable solution, we all will obviously play the
legal way 90%, I can't vouch for a 100% legal but it is better than say
30-50%. . .
Personally I only buy original CDs of only my favoirite artistes coz I
believe in their work enough to buy the original, the rest, I just
cactchit on the radio or in clubs or something.
For softwares, I only buy games and hates pirated ones coz they screwed
up my system and for design stuff I only use it for work at the office,
so all legal stuffs.

Hi,
I'm not sure whether or not you have fixed your table in the mean
time - right now it looks as if all extra space in "pleatherpants.htm"
is below the last link (in Netscape) and I guess that's what you wanted?
An easy trick to work around those problems is to use an extra table
(which holds the links) inside the left cell (which holds the lilac
background). That way the lilac background will grow when you add tall
pictures to the right cell, but the menu will stay where it is.
And since we're talking about it: Why not try to set the main table
(which holds menu and content) to 100% hight? That way you won't have
the orange background of variable size on your pages and they'll look
more... consistent. Just an idea...8)

| Ok, here are two pages from my photos section of my website. http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick/photos/mementos.html http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick/photo...atherpants.html The problem I'm having is with the links on the left. On the mementos page, that's how I want them to look. But when I have a taller photo like on the pleather pants page, the extra height is getting distributed evenly throughout the rows with the links. I would like for all the extra space to be after the last link in the last row, but setting the cell heights to 1 or 0 or 1% for the top 5 rows does not do squat. I'm looking at it in IE on a Mac, is this strictly an IE thing or a Mac thing, or is this a general html thing? Does anyone know a trick that will get it to do what I want? |
Hi Chris,
very nice site! I guess it takes a little while to load on slowish
connections, but I think that's bearable. As J-Dogg said, I also had a
very hard time finding the menu - you should really change that! I was
just about to leave until I found it sort of by accident...;) Other than
that it looks nice - nice work on the web sites you did, as well!

Too bad my FD lenses won't work! Now if I could just get one my pesky clients to sign off on one of those big projects they keep promising... Probably, if you get the digital Rebel with a lens, it'll do you for quite some time before you think you need to buy another lens. If you think you might want to replace your F1 with a newer film body in the EOS line, buy just the digital body and then get a lens separately. The lens that comes with the digital Rebel in that package is an "EF-S" and is designed specifically for digitals and won't work on the film bodies. There's a spec sheet online at Canon for the Digital Rebel: http://www.canoneos.com/digitalrebel/index.html I think Canon is going to make truckloads of money off this thing :-) |
I am afraid that the F1/FD lens combo is ready for retirement. However,
the Canon FD lenses are still some of the best lenses ever developed for
35 mm photography. I think the time has come for making a wholesale
switch to digital, so I am not going to worry about preserving my legacy
hardware.

nice style, although some of the transitions look much better than others,
Id try and keep them to the same complexity..
e.g. Details section, the guy comes in from the left, but other sections
have much more interesting intros.

I like the page, loaded quickly and no errors on IE6 WinXP with ADSL.
Only problem, where to click on the screen? There was no cursor change or
obvious enter button. I got the idea and just clicked on the image but you
should relaly change that.
Im not a fan of intro pages generally, so perhaps you could load come
content on that page to make it worth the bandwidth, perhaps some sort of
(useable) navigation.
