Our comments:
Half man-half mech visual designer Lindberg's personal web site design feels depressing due to the photos taken in a cloudy day, and the dirty blue color scheme, but it manages to get interesting with adept use of Flash. The hefty intro is worth the wait.

Madchen (12) - Feb 21st, 2006 Dating back to an era that Flash was so new that actual design didn't really matter. We all went crazy for fancy flash skills. Luckily that has changed. Opticon (4) - Oct 1st, 2002 Presentation  8 Graphics  8 Usability  8 Technical  9 Personal Slant  10 Overall 8.6 The most interesting Intro I've ever seen. Kicks right to the cojones and hard.

Hannibal Smith (31) - May 22nd, 2002 Presentation  8 Graphics  7 Usability  8 Technical  7 Personal Slant  8 Overall 7.6 An truely excellent intro and I like the layout of the portfolio page. The content is rather low, however, Fakepilot stands out with a brilliant use of Flash and graphics. Hanson (28) - Apr 25th, 2002 Presentation  6 Graphics  8 Usability  6 Technical  7 Personal Slant  5 Overall 6.4 After a smashing intro, the rest of the site is not more than average at most. Shame. Some great work in the portfolio though. Updated on May 6th, 2002 ugwump (31) - Apr 16th, 2002 Presentation  8 Graphics  9 Usability  8 Technical  8 Personal Slant  9 Overall 8.4 Okay, now that's an intro. I'd say it's worth the download even considering the filesize. Kid's got some style. The rest of the site isn't quite mind-blowing in any respect (check the Music section though), and really isn't meant to be. Just be sure to check out his portfolio.

Color combination is not so good, intro is nice, but heavy Shawn (34) - Dec 22nd, 2001 Presentation  4 Graphics  8 Usability  5 Technical  7 Personal Slant  6 Overall 6.0 great intro, but the content presentation lacks quality. Aldo (5) - Dec 9th, 2001 it's one of the most dynamic sites I have ever seen. wonderful. Nicky (27) - Dec 9th, 2001 Presentation  4 Graphics  7 Usability  6 Technical  7 Personal Slant  6 Overall 6.0 this one missed the point of a portfolio site completely. Sarah (34) - Nov 28th, 2001 Presentation  7 Graphics  8 Usability  6 Technical  6 Personal Slant  6 Overall 6.6 nice work and animation. little boy's dream translated to pixels. heavy load and processorheavy as well. joshB (17) - Nov 18th, 2001 Presentation  9 Graphics  8 Usability  7 Technical  7 Personal Slant  9 Overall 8.0 fast and nervous on my G4! newstoday slave (15) - Nov 18th, 2001 Presentation  6 Graphics  6 Usability  5 Technical  5 Personal Slant  5 Overall 5.4 great intro, great homepage animation... but that's it... and as said earlier, it wears of quickly. //udminc (12) - Nov 17th, 2001 Presentation  7 Graphics  8 Usability  9 Technical  2 Personal Slant  1 Overall 5.4 Given the bpm of the music, I was expecting quite a bit faster movement - the transitional rate of the graphics didn't seem to keep up with the music. As far as getting to the site: I had no option to skip the intro (at least, none that I could see) once I entered it... As time goes on, intros are getting less and less attractive t- the novelty has worn off, it seems. Monica (20) - Nov 16th, 2001 Presentation  8 Graphics  9 Usability  8 Technical  7 Personal Slant  8 Overall 8.0 great design, great animation, great site!
