What can I say, this is a great project. I've been checking it out for the
past couple of weeks, and I think that your work looks very sharp. I had a
problem getting out of the Kitten Silencers, Frisk Pant, and Caffeine, but
possibly I just got lost; which may not have been completely unintentional on
your part. It seems that you were able to each do your own creative work and
construct some really individual/unique sections. The basic structure looks
great too.
The quilt project and mama poems have some nice images-i really think the
graphics go well with the textual content. Once I was immersed in the quilts
section, i didn't ever really have to go back to the main quilt map page
since you had so many links within the text, but thats ok. I think the
nostalgia assoc. with quilts relates well to childhood stories. The mama
poems also were really interesting to rd.--I really like the structure of the
links here, somehow i managed toget to everything without backtracking very
much, which is nice.
Caffeine looks like its going to be really good once its finished--i like the
stuff you have now alot-esp. the images--but i kept getting lost,my fault
probably--i ended up in nates home page somehow. Kitten Silencer is
excellent, the links take some really intricate turns, i couldn't figure it
out, the poetry is amazing. I think the red background works really well here
where you use it. Finally the Frisk pant poems i alsoenjoyed very much--i
think your incorp. of commodity cult. as poetry is very cool--i got lost here
too though, and the font on some of thepages too big for my screen for some
reason.
So i really can't give you any advice here, i think your project is awesome.
