FLASH: screen resolution and portfolio examples (was)

[john hudak]

i really like the textwork in michael marcinelli's site...the only 

thing that bothers me is something that has bothered me for awhile 

now...on my screen, the page is cut off right in the middle of the 

"click thumbnail for screenshots"


my screen resolution is 800x600.  is there a way to design for 

particular screen sizes and resolutions?  should one always keep to a 

"short" height, say like 500, when designing?  in the above example, 

michael's "about" window gets chopped off in the middle as well.


this is not a criticism of your site michael...which is extremely 

impressive.  a comment i might make about the site is that it is a 

bit complicated, but everything works well and the information is all 

there...


i'd really be interested in peoples comments about screen resolution 

though.  not everyone has a 17" or larger screen.  just as well, if 

you make something too small, it will be illegible on very small 

screens.  should one create for an average size screen?


best future,

john
