I love it! You could get rid of that "constructive" part, I don't think you need it :thumb2:

Make any text associated with a button clickable, that goes for pretty much every link in the digital chisel site


The dotted line effect you have on the llama site is messy, distracting and ugly, simple lines are more powerful then ugly effects


a skip intro button would be good for the chisel site. I'd hate to have to see that chisel do its thing eveeeeeeeeeeery time i go to your site

:sigh: guess I was wrong. Well the chisel clip could go a little faster.=)

Do you mean the |||||||||||||||||||| thing?

Yea, the border around the nav and content box,

The navigation text is quite wonky as well, its not the best looking font for that style

Fixed the boxes, although I happen to like the navigation text, so I'll be leaving that as it is :to:

Also, check out the background I had on the previous version of digital chisel (http://www.digitalchisel.net/old_site/index.html)... So sweet but so sluggish...

the sites feel really empty.

Which one? I realize there isn't that much content as of yet. Ultimately the music one is really just a showcase for the music, so there's not much else to put in there. The digital chisel one we're updating the portfolio, and I'd like to throw in a couple more interactive elements, but in the end what else do you want to see?

The digital chizel site was very minimal with content, and I think I get what you were trying to do there, but there is just sooo much negative space that perhaps a subtle gradient background would improve overall aesthetics.

The Bob LLama site was cool (although somewhat cheezy imo).
I did think that the way you had the samples play was a cool idea, but I had a hell of a time dropping the ball in the correct spot. I'd fix that. Also, you can drag the ball "through" the basin. And I'd spend some time actually making the balls look good. ( Very rarely can you get away with a radial gradient in professional design)

Also, for both sites... Fix the flash active content issue for IE. Those of us who still use IE (and there are a lot) its a hassle to have to click your content before even entering the site.

As I am neither on a PC nor on IE, I am completely unfamiliar with that issue... Are there any tutorials or anything you could point me to?
