    New Website...Thoughts?

    I just finished putting together my new site. It is geared towards photo and advertising...hopefully I can impress someone out there.

    Some feedback would be appreciated!

    Thank you.

    You need to re-export your logo into some format that doesn't butcher the edges and make jaggies all over.

    Otherwise, good. I generally don't like flash sites, but yours is low-key enough to be good :)

        You could try toning down the outer glow and shadow combination... are you exporting out of Photoshop or Illustrator?

            I exported out of photoshop.

            Edit: I toned down the outer glow, saved as bicubic smoother, and re-exported and still some text clipping.

                    Flash usually pisses me off but i think yours looks pretty good. But your logo just doesn't look right.

                      Why does the logo need a transparent bg?

                          Because it's a pain in the ass to try and color match. Transparent png's are more versatile and effective.

                            props bro. I think the gray background should be a lighter shade for a better look. That's just my opinion though.

                              Apparently not :p

                              I really like the nature shots, btw.
