SITE REVIEW: UNFLUX

oooo, i like alot!

kindof reminds me of 2advanced studios as far as the "blinking open" flash components and the nice spinning whirling stuff. i am away from home on dial up, and it takes forever to load, but the music's great. the longer it played on my box the faster it got, which meant that after ten or so it was going NUTS. could be my machine tho. also kindof repetitive. it's a nice relief form the usual "dark" or techno music peeps put on websites. a jazzy tone lightens up the site a bunch.

what's the story behind the tri-arm swirlies with the tiny text on all the images? there's usually a great story behind fun design things like that. ps, props for noticing that sparkwash's logo is a sparkplug, you're really the first to be able to tell besides good friends of mine. it was overkill when there were bubbles too, but it helped for peeps to figure out what it was.

unflux is a nice site overall for sure. as i say that the music in the background is going CRAZY! HA HA

Very nice flash effects. Love the design!

thanks for the comments.

lachlanmullen - 2a definitely is an influence on my work, however it
really stops there for me. I wanted to learn flash because of their site
but I also wanted to learn and create my own style. I think I've done
that. I do appreciate being mentioned along with them tho.

the tr-arm swirlies and microtext are just design elements - they serve
only an artistic purpose.

As far as the music, this concerns me. Did you not see the music box at
the top-right of the site? It has a stop button on it. Some of the slowing
down is caused by that MAYBE, because the loop is only 34k. So, not
sure that's it. I think the faded and gradient graphics I use in flash is
what saps your processor to cause the slowness. Full flash sites are
known to do that.

Glad you enjoyed the site otherwise.

That is strange how the music speeds up faster as it keeps looping through over time. It does not do that for me. I am curious if lachlanmullen is using the latest version of Flash on his old computer? or if something else is causing it. What operating system is on your old computer lachlanmullen, and what browser?

I definitely think it's his pc specs cuz on my 166 my site drags a lot
with some of the animations and loading the loop too.

the loop is only 34k in size, but it's programmed to loop 999 times in
flash. that's probably where it's hangin up.

Everything looks good, but it would be a good idea to enlarge your front page so that things are a little more visible..

thx for commenting.

can you explain what you mean by enlarging the front page??

I'm not in to FLASH much, but the site definately kicks ass and your a helluva designer

thx jimmie.

that's my goal, to convert all the non-flash people to liking it! It has a
bad rep right now becuase of bad designers. I'm trying to change that
as best I can.

Very nice, i never had the patience to keep designing with flash, its SO tedious and BORING.

believe me i know! but it's always worth it in the end. besides, it's great $

you already know what i think about your site man. Beautiful

This site reflects and announces " I pay attnetion to every detail" i leave no stones unturned. it has a theme that is consistant, it is original & not template driven, it has a flavor that is easy to get used to, the sound effects fit perfectly, and timed corectly, and the animations are entertaining.

3 thumbs up! :0)

I have always loved this site...

(nothing negative to say really... it has been perfected to a TEE)

aww shucks...thx gadget.

I'm glad you appreciate my attention to detail. Not many do, or even
notice for that matter. I'm a perfectionist,w hat can i say? I work on
something until I feel it's right. UNFLUX is finally there in my eyes, so it's
great to hear others feel and see the same thing.
