Good job to all the participants. One of the valuable aspects of SOTW is to get valuable feedback about your site and get an idea of how well it stands beside some of the best on the web. Mod critiques will be posted shortly.

Real nice design, I like the layout. Audio seems to fit well also. Not sure if I like the rollover effect on the menu.

marcelo
First thing I noticed is your text is blurry on your splash page as well as the rest of your site. I’m not sure why your using different pages for the sections. The menu is a bit annoying to use. As far as design, I’ve seen the cloud effect too many times, and your interface seems a bit cluttered.

rhamej
Excellent use of motion and video. Design is minimal and is straight to the point, I like that. I really dig the stage resize, but I’m wondering why you didn’t have the footer part of your site move along with the stage?

Good job :slight_smile:

Your splash page is rediculously loud, hurts my eyes is I stare too long. Your background is killing your website. I like the motion, and I like the menu system. Portfolio is a long time to load even from a fast connection. I don’t like that big clock you have in there, I have 4 clocks in my room, why are you showing me what time it is?

Good job, maybe up your FPS and change your background.

polymedia
Nice interface, I really like the images and masking effects. Your content windows are a tad bland IMO. I think your audio mute button should be outside your navigation, thus making it always possible to turn the sounds off.

Good job

flash gordon
I think you could have chosen a better background color or even made sometype of background pattern to spicen it up. Being the site is a bit empty its hard to give a full critique but I do think you should either make your motion faster or up your FPS. The rollover are too simple and could be done with html.

cocoj
Splash page text is almost unreadable. Poor choice of fonts, and you forgot to embed some as well. Although the concpet is cool, not enough information on the site, way to empty.

swizzotec
Splash page lacks in design, and I don’t like the rollover effect. Interface is interesting although poor choice of colors. You should have some type of transitions for the content window with this type of layout. There is a skip on your audio when looping. I also don’t care much for the logo.

elon
Your button layout is somewhat amaturish, lacking animation. Your mask effects inside the website also lack in creativity and style. Not much information here as well, just image of work.

minimall
your splash page has numerous erros, such as not spanning the entire _x axis, and misplacement of objects. I like the motion and menu, very cool. I don’t like I have to clikc “close window” when looking through your work.
