    The Flash intro:

    1 - The graphics seem disconnected and too dissimilar. No unity.

    2 - The motion of the graphics is too busy and distracts from the text. It obviously took a lot of work and some of the choreography is well done. However, more isn't better.

    3 - The music is too repetitive and I didn't care for the tune.

    4 - The text doesn't say much. Its the same tired spiel found on many sites.

    I found it boring and distracting. I believe in the restrained use of Flash effects, and the intro to this site is a good demonstration of why I feel that way. I did like the color combinations.

    Content beats effects any day.

    Overall, I liked the site. I guess my only problems are with the intro. While nicely designed, it's too long (in my opinion, others differ). I do agree with an earlier comment about there being "too much going on in the intro." I never read a bit of text while watching it because there was too much distracting motion. However, I also agree that it looks as if it took a lot of work and coreography to put it together. Hats off to ya' there.

    Good job on everything else!

    For a flash into it did not take too long to load and it was Ok. Now when someone states that something is OK do not take that as a Knock down. It was a lot of work in scripting or drawing, howevever you achieve your flash movie but it was a bit quick in some of the text. If you were selling your skills as a designer? I do not think you quite managed it. Need to make more of the the sales, good examples of your design work but you did not lead me into to hiring yor designs skills
    Design is thinking made visual.

    Actually, I really do like your design, although I agree that the intro could be shorter. I really liked the effects! As far as the site itself goes, I found it very clean and informative...
    Good Work!

    intro is toooo busy, too much going on and it leads your eye all over the screen.

    i admire the organization and choreography of the thing but it didnt have that professional fell to it, maybe the text was to plain (arial).

    honestly i wish i had skills like you to create the intro like that but...lets put it like this...

    ..if you were a basketball player you would have a vertical leap like vince carter and a deadly outside-shot like reggie miller. but you would never make it into the nba cause you would commit too much turnovers and foul too much.
