This is how I would react to one of my students:


Buttons work for preschoolers and the visually impaired. Seen far too many of

this sort of button. Have you considered trying something totally different or

creative? Typography runs from  so so to totally inappropriate.


Originality? Seen it.Done it. Been there in one form or another in practically

every other Flash site posted to this list.


Lots of technique. What happened to the design? This thing is broken into three

separate and distinct segments and there is nothing that unifies them.

Glad I get to rate "coolness" because it sure ain't hot. Are you promoting a

band or just showing the worl "how clever you are with Flash"?
