It's lovely, nice to use. The arial text bits looks booring compared to the rest of the design, maybe try something sexier?
Plus it's just a little bit to big to fit in my (1024x760) browser window, I have to scroll down to see the navigation. Otherwise very nice.

yeah I really quite like it, its nothing particularly original nav wise or even illustration wise, but its nice and works well. I've never really been much of a fan of the book page turning thing but thats just me.
I would definately look at getting rid of the pixel font for the body copy and go with something antialiased

i like it a lot, but i dont know if its really apropiate for a marketing company (i mean, this pretty funny look). yeah, ok, i am boring dumb ass..... ;p

the reason why the body is 'plain boring' arial is cause it is reading in xhtml documents which are content managed from our in house content management tool.. the management also wanted the text to be selectable...
cheers for the feedback :)

Be better if the paper plane disappeared on the white frame, rather than after it....looks like a mistake.

You can have selectable anti-aliased text read from an xml-file in flash, can't you?

Lose the Arial! Why not embed a font instead, or use Verdana?
The Nav could give more feedback, the 9 boxes don't tell you anything, highlight the corresponding main (text) nav button when you rollover the boxes.
The red bg gets a bit dull after a while, a bit more colour wouldn't hurt.

rasko: its alright here... relatively small studios... We mainly look for freelancers to work with our print/ art direction guys in Leamington Spa... Our London office specialises more on online applications and mainly contract in programmers as and when the project needs it...

Dcsign:
I would say that the management was right in their preference for selectable text. Arial albiet boring to some of you, is also the most used typeface on the web according to the NTB post Visibone's Browser Survey. Therefore from a usability perspective and without creating a larger flash file with embedding fonts, it does the job.

Yeah but Arial? Come on.
