Interested to hear your thoughts. Designed by a contract agency, not in-house. Thanks!

all the crazy features that were added fight the content rather than helping it. it's not clear what I'm looking at.

In Firefox, the slide-in portion that expands on the right side is displaying a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom, but no scrolling tool. Shouldn't this not display any kind of scrolling aspect?
On the RIT Online panel, the three things that are like posters on a wall do not fully display. I see a glimpse of a shape in the middle and right posters, but they're covered up by the panel above it.

Also - why image-based text in some of the panels?
And, are your web fonts working? I see font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial,sans-serif; and only Arial is coming through. Did you intend to use Helvetica Neue as a web font? It's not coming through.
- Helvetica Neue isn't available to license as a web font (yet).evilpeacock
- sure it is.

Syat anim word cloud thing? No.
"blowing your mind since... right now". No.
Shiggly icon-like things that aren't buttons? No.
Make Movies!!! graphic that also isn't a button? No.
Three exclamation marks? Fuck no.
Slider that doesn't change 'til you let go? No.And what rosem said - “all the crazy features that were added fight the content rather than helping it. it's not clear what I'm looking at” - Yes.
.
Frankly, it's all a bit much; All a bit of a mess.
Too keen to impress, too reliant on gimmicks and not solid design principles.
Sorry.

So many options for navigating something as simple as a single scrolling page. You have buttons at top, Prev/Next buttons for each panel, and the slide out feature on the right.

gah, thank you, qbn. i just got sent this link as our newest most impressive site with a suggestion to design some future sites like it - completely different sites with completely different audiences and purposes. i knew i wasn't crazy.

everyone loves to hate, but i liked playing with it. it made me want to read the content, more so than most other sites. the animations were well done, the side navigation was bad though.

I would think this would have been in-house. Shame. The nav. on the right I discovered by accident. I thought it was a bit too polished and seemed like they threw everything they could at it to see what would stick and it looks like everything stuck.

I understand why they used the side navigation but the same options are in the local navigation. In my opinion, the local navigation could "follow" the user and that would remove the need for the side navigation — or vice versa.

too much nav. The right nav is completely useless, why not just clock on a dot to go to the section instead of revealing thumbs of the sections?
or as mentioned above, a header nav that follows you.
