i present tomorrow at 3. it just toggles between a comp of the about page and a demo of a particle effect i've applied to the home page.
it's based off of or inspired by Freud's book The Cocaine Papers. Early in his career, Freud says "one day my name will be synonymous with Cocaine" (in the movie at least).
Anyway, I'm posting a link here cuz it's the first thing I've designed in a while that I'm really psyched about. Spent the entirety of 08 working solely as an AS3 developer, so it's been nice to have an opportunity to jump back over the fence.
As always I'm open to any criticisms or questions. Don't know how much time I'll have to make changes between now and then, but I'd be glad to be ready for any surprises. I know the guy pretty well and am pretty sure he'll be satisfied (i cut him a huge break on hours).
oh yeah... link:

Looks nice, but I would suggest not placing the guy smack in the middle of the design. He could also be cut out a little bit cleaner. On the second page, it's going to be painful to read that much compressed text. Otherwise looks good though.
- The HTML will be centered when it's migrated into the final flash setup. That's just your basic flash publish template.beedee

The site is left-aligned but Freud is centre-aligned, that throws me a little (I'm looking @ this on a full-screen browser @ 1680 x 1050), I'd like to see the whole thing centred.
I probably wouldn't have noticed without ukit saying, but it manages to makes him look almost a little out of place the way he looks so cut out.
The overall style is fitting for the topic and it looks good :)
- All of the imagery is completely FPO. I know the client will have very specific ideas as to what images he wants to show and how he'll want them placed. This is to show the foreground/backgroun... effect, essentially.beedee

I like that. I think the background music is just right, that kinda mysterious mournful cor anglais, or alto sax, or clarinet or whatever it is, exactly sets the time in history.

the menu is at the bottom so i had to screen on my small laptop to find it (make it at the top).
The font used for different menu cards is not "optional" enough. I would think the only options there are: about, gallery, tech spects... and not notice behind-the-scenes and so on.
