First off, that's a beautiful screen! I do have a couple suggestions.
The little dragon (I think it's a dragon?) in the far panel is smaller than the beholder in the middle and dragon in the closer panel, which makes it look a little unbalanced. Maybe add something to make the image in the far panel a little bigger?
There isn't much contrast of the images with the wood, especially with the closer dragon. Did you use a laser engraver? Maybe either fill the images in or add more details to the dragon itself.
That's just my own opinion of it. As I said before, I think it's really beautiful =)

Thanks for the take on it, I think you are on to something there! As far as the engraver I burned the images on to it by hand with a soldering pen. Took forever haha. also thanks for the compliments lot of time worked into it!
I have to commend you on hand burning across mixed grain like that! That's is not easy at all! The way you have it hinged so far though the burnings will be on the inside of the screen?
The clear folders are a good idea, especially if your going to go for a screen that can be customizable on what info you need.
As for the decoration on the front, I think you have a good start. An idea you can use is to stain the interior of the images you made with different colored varnishes. That would really make them pop. The thing beyond that though is you have a lot of empty space on the front panels, which if that was your intent okay, but I would add some more decoration in.

Thanks for that Brian! Actually no they are on the outside the other hinges are on the opposite sides so that the four pieces fold to one.

Oh gotcha. Nice, that makes sense. Are you planning on having anything on the inside like folders or whiteboard?

Gotcha. Personally I like clear top load folders that I can use dry erase on.
