now… let me explain…
i wanted to do a sort of interactive map, trying to use audio at the same level of graphical stuff. I believe that matching these two things can bring the user’s envolvment onto another level. So… just move around and if you have a pair of headphones… plug them!
yep I’m back, after some redesigning and coding here is what I came up with, I tryed to fix few things that some of you gave me as a advance in first version…

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. Check back later as mod critiques will be posted later today.

I didn’t like this site much because it lacked color among other things. White text on a black background is hard to read after awhile, the text paragraphs becomes white blocks. There is this concept called “Persistence of Vision,” it refers to how the human eye works. An image will remain in the back of the retina for about a 1 second or more.
If I stare at your site for about 10 seconds and close my eyes, I will still be able to see the outlines of your site and the text blocks.
The bottom line is, white text on a black background is really glaring. On top of that, you’re using a font with a heavy weight so it sort of just blends together.
I suggest using a lighter weight font or grey color font in combination with more color so that it’s less glaring.
Nice to see the work done since last time Still very dark, but not hard on my eyes, the design is good, but the problem is that nothing stands out in your pages (It’s hard to know in which section I am, the links are hard to see, I didn’t see the pictures at all on the right of the “About” section at first…). Good site anyway.
This is my first time doing the SOTW, and I’m still learning about how it works.
