Review Request : www.opencanvas.ca
Hi there,
Any comments / suggestions / feedback / critiques on the site are greatly appreciated
My name is Simon, I am currently setting up a site for animation and multimedia university students within British Columbia who are interested in posting there works, sketches, finished prints, and frame by frame animations. The use of the images will be purely inspirational and educational, there is no commercial or retail interests associated with this site. ( Promise no tricky stuff ) My intentions are to provide some great examples of Photoshop, Bryce work, Painter, 3d Studio and other multimedia programs. If you have any works that you think are especially outstanding please feel free to e-mail me to become a member.
Thanks for your time

Hey... I love the design... one error... it should be: "This Site's Purpose" rather than "This Sites Purpose"... other than that I really like it... good job!

Oh and you also spelled "professionals" incorrectly... and the word "unique". Run spell check on your stuff to keep it professional looking..

It's green! Maybe a bit too green for me but it's not at all bad and generally I like the graphics/design. I get a small horizontal scrollbar at 800*600, seems to be because your top graphic is 780 wide (although the table it's in is set to 769) and the most you should go to is 770 to fit within 800*600.
On your 'HTML Guide For Begginers' parts of the links are in red, why? Looks odd to me. On the actual lessons pages you have the large chunks of text centered, DON'T, it makes the text hard to read and doesn't look professional.
In all very good, only thing I'd add is some colour to the hover on the links, maybe an orange.

Not too bad a site
though it looks too static, make the links do something on hover - change of text-decoration and colour maybe?
The site does take a while for me to download but I guess that's quite typical of a graphic showcase site
Using a high resolution, I see a lot of white space to the right of the page.
Good work thought, keep it up

its a great design, although i don't really like the repeating background image.
Renegade, have you made any other sites? there's only one in your portfolio.

you should fix the background so it doesn't repeat on the longer pages, and as mentioned don't center all your content
I'm not to fond of the green but each to their own I suppose.
You have a lot of content on there and takes a while to load for the old dial up
NEVER use the width and height tags to resize your images, example, the first thumbnail on the photography page is 367kb, my slow connection only loaded 3 of 10 before timing out
I also have a very slight horziontal scroll bar at 800x600
