MadManMike Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Right, at the moment this site only looks good on high resolutions - will look dodgy on Mac Books and widescreen monitors, though I am addressing this as we speak (Shrinking thumbnails and main images).If you have a square monitor with a res of 1280 x 1024 or higher please give me some feedback.My brother is an illustrator and had a basic white / green site that looked ok, but I wanted to give it a makeover.www.peteduffield.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 You've got skills. Simple and effect site, now just get it scaling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Cheers guys...Means a lot to have Simon say it's good too - being a web genius and all My brother is going to resize all his images because as his tutor said, if they are high enough resolution people will just steal them rather than pay him for using them... (And it'll work on all monitors of course).Cheers folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 That is so mint, I love the graphics. I don't know if this is supposed to happen but it cuts the bottom half of the bottom pictures off and I cant scroll down. Other than that I'm really impressed.

My brother is gonna shrink his thumbnails and large images so it all fits - I told him to do it yesterday but he's been busy.Thanks for the feedback, it's a relatively simple site but I'm happy with it My brother says yes feel free to use his art as a background.

It's gradually getting there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*PHIL* Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 yeh that site is 'proper' awesome, really inspiring, just the layout that needs fixing a bit like you said, couldnt get to some icons on my res of 1440x900... bookmarked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Aside from the website (which is excellent), that's one of the most inspiring collections of artwork I've seen in quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 ...and here I was thinking you're just a DJ... Amazing site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 ...and here I was thinking you're just a DJ... Amazing site!I just built the site / layout and stuff - all the credit for the amazing artwork has to go to my brother But yeah, I do web design for a living - DJ'ing is just a night time thing, not really an earner unless I get good city gigs Thanks for the feedback chappies!

Max Quinn Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Your brothers art is sick! Really got skills. Added to the 'Inspiration' bookmarks folder haha.Site is good too, simple but clean and does the job. I'm not usually a fan of splash screens but for an art type site, with decent art on them like this one, it's all good But why not move everything up closer to the 'Pete Duffield' text? The portrait images start up there but why not make all the images start up there? Then i wouldn't have to scroll down all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
531joshua Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Great site you've got there Only thing I can really say bothers me a bit, is as tom said:Needs a page title but thats all I can suggest!Other than that, it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majixman Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 superb work. If i was going to suggest anything to improve it, I would say give the images a java loading thing. So they fade in. Why? Because when i was viewing, due to the pics being a nice high res, they seemed to scroll down, but it wasn't smooth. A fade in would just be lovely!Keep up the good work.
