The page is done with Macromedia Flash so you have to have that
installed to view it. The ceramic work is interesting, but I find this sort of webpage annoying as hell. deg On Sun, 18 Dec 2005 12:20:44 +0000, Steve Mills wrote: All I got was a set of links on the left, and an otherwise blank page! ???

"dylan" wrote in message oups.com... Hi, Here is a link to the updated website of Janice James, the raku ceramic artist. http://www.janicejamesceramics.com Any suggestions/comments would be very much appreciated. Regards Dylan I am sometimes irritated by macromedia flash and too complicated websites, this one does work well though and I like the simplicity of it. The work - it is well made, some of the "faces" are almost scary, however some of the "faces" look Maori, with Maori style tattoos. As a white New Zealander I am am conscious that many Maori consider their imagery sacred, or their own intellectual property. I do not want to cause offence, but I would not portray Maori face tattoo (moko) without permission. |

Hi, thanks,
Looking into it right now, the website requires flash, we're currently working on a flash alternative. Dylan |

Hi,
I appreciate your comments, I hope my work doesn't offend anyone. The heads are not portraits and are not meant to portray specific people, but meerly my interpretation of the widely diverse images of people and cultures around the world. However, if in the future I intended to take any inspiration from Maori tribal art, I will keep your comments in mind. Janice James |

I'm sorry Dylan, but this website is not very good. It is
inconvienient to have to mouse over those triangles to find out what they are links too ... and that's if you decide ... hey those triangle things must be links! Plus the "Meet cute girls" link(s) across the top are just annoying and stupid. To say nothing of the google ads down the left. Is she trying to publicize her work or make click through revenue? You want an alternative to flash? It's called html. |

Thanks for your comments.
I understand what you are saying about the links, it's been the subject of discussoin for some time. The links at the top were not permanent, they're gone now. And in response to your last question she is trying to do both! Dylan |

Regards Dylan Hmmm, wanky flash crap. I'd suggest getting a web designer who is interested in showing off her work, and not how clever they are. The work is extremely interesting, and I would like to be told more about it, after all, that is why I went to the site, not for some prat to show off their flash "skills". the flash movie is all very pretty and simple, but at the cost of properly displaying the work, there is no sense of scale, or "value" in the presented images. As for the google adds - what the hell??? Someone has put in a lot of effort to get a "gallery" look on that website, then they pimp the sidebar like a porn site! Talk about a major clash of concepts! But, I guess it's artistic, and I always seem to miss the point of "art", and keep thinking they left the "ph" off the front of the word... I'll stick with craft pottery, and finely crafted webpages thanks, going back to disabled flash on my putas, as 95% of flash content on the net is advertising! |
