PLEASE REVIEW
 
As you may have read in one of my earlier posts, i have been creating a lotr site for a colleg assignment. It is now semi-complete and partially up.

I would very much appreciate comments on colour scheme/layout/use of graphics, etc

Please post your replies on here, thanks guys. This has to be done by friday so this is quite urgent.

I'd love to, but I am afraid that I do not know where your old posts are, and therefore do not know the site. I am blind! Blind! Sorry...if you would please inform me. Gracias! *shudders* No! Not Spanish! That bad, bad language! It fails everyone! Sorry...I am glad to see someone making a Tolkien site. I have tried and found it too hard. So, I will let others do it in my place, while I sit on my lazy a$$.

Give me the link and I'll give your my opinions...

the real findorfin 03-25-2003 03:01 AM

Sorry, of course. The most important thing and it slipped my mind...

Coming along quite nicely Findorfin! I especially like the collection of paintings. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] However, the quiz game didn't work for me. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Eruanna 03-25-2003 12:18 PM

Very Impressive!
I think it is excellent. The links to pictures, games etc all worked well for me.
You have worked very hard on it Findorfin. Congratulations!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

VERY IMPRESIVE art, books, games etc worked for me! You have done an exceptional job! I am sure you will get a superior mark! But I actually can’t advise anything for you, it is really good and it all works well done!

the real findorfin 03-25-2003 12:40 PM

Thanks a lot guys, appreciated. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Mores the better everyone else keep posting, come on [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The only reason I could think off as to why the quiz didn't work is that perhaps your setup doesn't allow VBScript?

Iarwain 03-25-2003 01:19 PM

Perhaps, although I was using Internet Explorer. I'll have to check the prefs and try again.

eleanor_niphredil 03-25-2003 01:35 PM

Very nice! Like the quiz, though I cant do it. To hard for me. Nice colour scheme.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 03-25-2003 01:42 PM

Looks good [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] , I wish I could do fun things like this... Congrats!

Durelin 03-25-2003 02:24 PM

WHOA! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] That is amazing!! Please, tell me how you do it!!!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Seriously though, why'd you ask? I mean, it's beautiful! Awesome. I'll be looking through it thoroughly later, but as to color and layout and designs and such- you're there! Wow! I am sure the Barrow Wight will be happy about the link! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Oh, one more thing, you going to do a forum of your own? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Rynoah, the Overly-Happy 03-25-2003 02:38 PM

Beautifully-done. The green of the text in the top seems a bit dark for a black background, however, and it's a bit difficult to read. Other than that, the site is very well-made. I especially liked the quiz (I got by on guesses for the first five questions! Go me!).

Sapphire_Flame 03-25-2003 03:44 PM

Very well done. The quiz was tricky, I couldn't even finish it! Very hard. Overall, I'm very impressed. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

MLD-Grounds-Keeper-Willie 03-25-2003 03:56 PM

I think that it is a very well done site. One thing that I might add though is a border. I wouldn't want the person grading you to mark you down for anything. I'm talking about when you go to say your books section. You can scroll down in just that little section however there is no clear defining border between the whole page and that one section. I say a nice silver or goldborder around the mini-page would make it look a lot nicer. It stills looks great though. And I would also like to know what durelin wants to know; are you making a forum?

One more thing. If you would like some art, I have drawn some pictures. I can't post them on this site since it says I can't, but you are more than welcome to put it on your site if you want to. PM me for more info. And if you are making a forum, I offer my assistance. I think that Durelin would too, but you'll have to ask him since I am not him of course. Great job!

AWESOME site Findorfin!!! I think your color scheme is perfect! Everything worked fine for me. Very impressive site!

Thanks again for all your comments. I am not planning to do a forum at the moment, but perhaps in the future. Also, i am not taking any fanart but who knows what will happen after its been handed in, maybe.

piosenniel 03-25-2003 04:26 PM

Nicely done, fin!

Especially enjoyed the old cover art in the books section. Not to mention that Howe and Nasmith are my favorite Tolkien illustrators.

Went to the Games section and played the games -- [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] - no RPG's! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

the real findorfin 03-25-2003 05:08 PM

Well there we go, you sparked my imagination and I made a quick forum. Not as grand as the Barrow Downs of course, but here it is.

Take a look and sign up if you want.

GaladrieloftheOlden 03-25-2003 05:49 PM

Wow! I am impressed! I will certainly sign up for the forum later [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] and like the site itself a lot! I tried to make my own a while ago, but it only has 4 or 5 sentences on it so far... [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
