This is an interesting site design. Placed in the gallery here solely because of the navigation. Using the anchors based off a standard looking navigation – i’m torn on it. What do you guys think?

    The highlighted colors threw me. I was expecting them to be links, like every other site on the planet that mimics the happy cog header navigation. Also, the copy makes you sound like a dick.

    Ugh, I wish people would stop with the whole bravado thing. I’m glad he thinks he’s the coolest, but that tells me absolutely nothing about him, other than he has a high opinion of himself. It’s not funny or engaging.

    As to the format, I don’t mind the moving navigation that much, the problem is that it’s laid out like a blog, and seems like a blog, but it’s not a blog. I scrolled down and thought every section was just another blog post, it wasn’t until I clicked on the links that I realized they were distinct ‘sections’. So, for what it’s worth, I generally scroll down a page before I click any links, and with this site you don’t really ‘get’ it unless you click on of the navigation links.

    I just noticed, it’s in the ‘Blog’ subcategory, so maybe that proves my first point.

    Design wise this site is confusing although I like his ‘out of the box’ layout. It really is just a blog, so I can’t be too critical. Its obvious this guy is young, probably somewhat privileged, and is using art as a means to rebel against his authoritarian family.

    This kid could be a decent designer someday if he drops the ego and actually studies design. Overall, this page is much cooler than most Myspace pages (whatever that means to you…).
