Yup...its live. Nac (Anthony Tanaka) and I worked through snow and sleet to make this happen as close to 2005 as possible.
Gone is our little beetle. We will miss him. Please let us know if you run into any technical problems. Enjoy and donate please.

aight god damn it I posted this at 11:30 this morning..so far my partner bumped it, johndiggity digs the scroll bars ;P and my good friend emerson threw in a courtesy 'great job guys'...
I'd love to get a little design feedback on it if no one is too busy posting about chewbaka and stinky trainers...
- Nac0
were not loved

aight, let's do this:
your work is great -- but your site doesn't showcase the work until two clicks into the visit. Maybe it's just the visually oriented person in me talkin, but I don't like having to click on View Artwork each time I wanna see stuff (the tiny pixel font doesn't make me interested in reading the info either). I want instant gratification. Sometimes, so do your clients. They want something to LOOK at.
Having said that...
The site itself is clean as vodka, and structured well. Easy to navigate.

wtf. you guys all suck.
i think the crack in the cross looks pretty rad. and it also has meaning, which a lot of design lacks. i think it's a great site. i'm digging your work iDP. the only thing that kinda bugged me was the font when you're viewing a section. it's a cool font, but it was a little hard to read fast. not a big deal though. the movement on that flash nav is so damn smooth. i love it. oh the logo at the bottom is cool and original, but it keeps seeming like it's a link to another site. i dunno. it's a cool site though. are the "Infusion Project Business cards" in your portfolio on card stock? what thickness are those? they're pretty cool
- abstrakt0
actually yeah i kinda agree with dippy. but the simplistic style of the site kinda requires that... maybe do some buttons for each artwork piece that show the image without removing the description text?

werd about the crack in the red cross, abstrakt.

iDp, you already know my thoughts. It's a beautiful, clean site. But I'd take into consideration using a more readable font for large blocks of copy like some others have said.
And on the subject of "instant gratification" You may also consider giving a quick thumbnail overview of your projects,--featured projects even to keep the load small--after you click "WORK" to begin with. It's just nice to have that ability for the eye to quickly go to something it sees interesting as far as your projects go.

werd.

ahhh all good bits of info. Yeah I totally hear you guys on the text size and instant gratification. We'll have to take a look at that and see what we can do to fix those.
Thanks for finally taking the time to crit this...I've been tapping my foot since 11:30 this morning.

im in agreement with everyone else, i'm having trouble reading the font and i feel it would be best to view the work first and then read about it second. other than that, the design is straightforward and very easy to navigate. i'm really digging your identity work!

(Jan 3 05, 23:02)I feel you, iDp. Ignoring crit threads = not cool.

oh sorry forgot to answer you abstrakt. I'm not sure the size of the stock of cards, I would guess 12 pt? Standard printing, matte UV. Anthony designed them and got them printed a while ago.
- abstrakt0
oh ok. for some reason they looked very thick.
- iDp0
cool thanks everyone. thank gawd we didn't upload all the pieces...I agree that type is a bitch to read. I think we'll just ditch the pixel font, I've always hated em anyways. ;)
- fate0
the pix font is fine for the nav, just not for lots-o-readin'.
- fate0
btw can you take care of those scrollbars? ;)
