Review:
I love when something really different comes along in terms of standards and design. , and brings total freshness to the conservative standards-minded designer. This site proves once again that web standards and CSS is not a limitation. Paolo uses the infamous ALA stylesheet switcher to hide content and show the background image, wich is a fun way of usage. Sites like this tend to get really low ratings here, but let's see how you like this one. I know I do.

Finally someone that thinks outside the CSS box. Absolutely brilliant with the animated hovers.
yum. This is good; real good.
The navigation is complete gabage half the time. White on White, yeah, that's good. It's pretty, but it doesn't work for me in the slightest.
A resounding zero due to un-usability.
I feel his site really crosses the boundries between art and design. Art is defined as "High quality of conception or execution, as found in works of beauty; aesthetic value.", There is no mention of communicating a message to a given audience, which is what I see as design - communication.
If the idea of this site is to show work, or communicate some kind of message i'm afraid it doesn't (to me anyway), it felt more like art.
That's just the aesthetics, don't get me started on the u
Ace. Looks very similar to the wave of non css sites that were emulating thhe Designers Republic style last year. But it works for me. My only crit is the fonts could be tidied up a point size as they are just on the small side. Good marks.
Very exciting site. I love the simple way he produces image layers with just a background and a transparent gif (I'm guessing.)
Sometimes this produces unreadable links! But, it's an artsy site and not a phone book, so I think it's okay.
I would suggest some semi-transparent bg thing for the links and any other text area. This would preserve the great layered look and also maintain readability for those who like that.
I didn't like this site. Until I got to looking at it. The navigation is really cool, once you look into it. It really does make sense, but it's kinda like Thelonious Monk: once you get it, you can't get enough of it. Really cool work.
First of all thanks to Stylegala editorial office for publishing my website. I
Let me say that the Internet Compliant design (http://fawny.org/blog/2003/09/#IC-Style link found on Jeff Croft) is currently the best way to create websites with content principally based on text; in fact I use it to in my everyday work with Zope / Plone to make web applications. (continue)
But I am also an enthusiast graphic designer inspired by the works of this guys http://www.dimension7.ch/dimension7/resources.html ; so I built my personal site using precise visual references and my every- day technical tools.Thank you for thinking space4future like a good example of ìFlash replacementîÖ I think that there are real advantages in making standard compliant web-portfolios in term of management and tracking. Bye.
I really like when someone pushes the limits, but doing so also means awareness on the needs/expectations of the intended audience. If the main goal of that site is to gain customers by showing his work... well, I don't see that hapening in the real world.
But if the goal is to appear in Style Gala, CSS Beauty and the like, as a MEAN to gain popularity and recognition, and THEN use THAT in favour of his future rate per hour... well, then he's actually scoring.
Nice one.
