only crituque id give is :
try using 'multiply' on your text layers over the egg carton, it should make the text blend in better with the carton photo, at the moment it looks like text typed on top (which it is) but im guessing your trying to make it look like the text is actually printed on the the box right ?
- blackspade0
when isay multiply, i mean multiply layer in photoshop
- planet010
yeah, i'm not much up for porn.
anyone else?
- planet010
i thought it already looked fairly convincing, but i'll give it a shot.
thanks.

mayb try screen instead of multiply, i dunno i just thought it needed tweaking
also why not have the carton center aligned vertically in the window (or further down as it is on the inside pages) so that when you enter, it would look more like the carton was opening rather than, jumping down the screen after the index page
if u get wot i mean

your navigation system is kind of not there...kind of confusing at times. but the idea of the egg carton is cool, i like it.
and when you finally click on a photo/misc/web option im directed to a different looking part of the site, which should look somewhat like what the other half of the site looks like. one word: continuity.
i think you had to change the way the other part of the site looks [where you can actually see the photos] because you couldnt incorporate looking at the photos and still have the navigation [egg carton] still there. there's an issue there, as ive said before.
BUT, nice work/nice content, very nice. keep up the good work!

good idea about the carton starting lower on the page, i'll give that a shot. just not sure if that will be too far down for people with 800x600
- blackspade0
do it center aligned in a table 100% high at least then it will stay centred no matter what size the window is
- planet010
i realize the troubles of continuity, this site is the first site i have built on my own (i designed the other sites in my portfolio, others made them function).
thanks for the compiments though.
i'll probably take my site down though, not sure how much i trust my software firewall.
- planet010
yeah, i tried centering it, not sure why but i couldn't get it to work. i'll have to look into again.
- warheros0
just find a good firewall app
