Website review - davehum.com

http://www.davehum.com/

Dave Hum is a freelance flash and web designer based in Hampshire. His entire site is flash based and is continually growing with examples of his games, portfolio, artwork and photos etc. It is a very good example of an online portfolio of work.
His overall design feels alittle confused. He has a fantastic background image of weathered wood but then has overlaid it with some very stylish, very flash looking, graphics. I wonder if the interface could be better matched to the background, alternatively choose a more appropriate background.
Navigation is easy though the use of buttons along the top and destination windows leaving the main window available, making it easy to get back to the main index page. The website uses pre-loaders and all text on the website is easy to read.
My favourite game is Bricks which can be found under the Flash Experiments and the most annoying part is the music resets its self every time you go back to the page. Im not a fan of music or other sounds on websites in general unless they are promoting a band's music.
