First impression of your site is quite alright.
Everything works good as it should be, didn't found coding errors in a quick view.
Though, I have some critisicm.
The font used on the right. Capitals, bleh. Plus it seemed somewhat blurry, perhaps because of the computer im on now, but doubt it.
I don't enjoy reading stuff at the site. Should make it easy, better to read.
The pixelfont used by news would be better.
The effects in the center of your site... bit standard I think, plus they don't really add to the mood of the site. It's there, but if it wasn't there it would be good too. Try to enhance it more, more eye candy in the site itself. It's quite gray and boring to me.

In general the site is nice and one can surf it good.
But to make the visitor enjoy his/her stay... enhance it, optimize it.
keep going!

tip: might want to stop site music once they click something in your portfolio. If I see another project and still hear the same loop... dunno, just dont like it.

Thanks for the comments WickedMind

I know the font isn't the best, so I changed it. (still not happy with this one eighter)
The music can be stoped by draging the volume to 0 ;) .
I think the middle animation is ok, so i'll leave it like so.
Also I changed the background, i made it a bit darker.

I know 'bout the volumeslider. I was meaning that it auto stops once a project (for example: intro animation) loads in a new window.
The font (arial black?) is better I think.
Still think the site is somewhat boring though... just my humble opinion...

the font is Helvetica 95 Black ;)
Unfortunately i cannot control the sound when you open a project because the portofolio load from mysql, and the links are html links ( i dunno if the explanation is ok).

Thanks for the review

Idea is good but maybe a bit to "lets try all these new functions, gadgets and effects". Hate music on a site unless it's relevant. Like the metal look but what are the edges about??? Why not a sharp or smooth edge to compliment the metal??? It doesn't match.

I like the idea you're changing your site often... keeps it new and exciting... but the downside is that you're not recognisible... (wauw spelling is sh*tty today, sorry peeps).
Still busy designing my life and the world around me :D

Thanks Cold Coffee for your review

The reason why i didn't make the borders of the metal sharp or smooth is because I allways look to be somehow original, to shock with a new ideea, and I tought that some melted broken metal edges will do fine. That's my opinion.

Again thanks for the comments, I look forward to get some more :)

The font on the menu is still a little blury. One thing that I have noticed in flash is that if you make the text dynamic instead of static it cleans it up a little.

The only other thing I would mention, is that it is always nice to view the portfolio without have to click each link to open something new. A potential client is not going to want to do that.
