I like the idea of it being a sketch boook, i think it might look good having more sketches on the site.

I like your menu buttons but am not sure about the text, might need to be darker. I like the whole sketch book idea so am still not sure about the tv screens, i think it would look better if you just had the stills from the animations: like they had been drawn on the page.

I like all the illustrations, especially the back buttons but think the tv screens need to come up a bit on the page of animations and theres a bit too much writing on the first page to read :)

I like this sketchbook aesthetic, it could really work. Just a bit of a problem with the scrollbars appearing as with Adam's. Good use of DHTML with the television screen rollovers. Don't know why but I think it would be good to see an animated gif here or there.

An idea to break up the page might be to image map - have the rings on the left, the site header and the main page content as separate images. This is just an idea, though, might be quite time consuming to reformat the thing.

Will be good when you have got all the hotspots in for the external links.

I like the sketch book idea but do think the skecth book would look better set in a scene eg desk. And maybe change the tv screens to maybe picture frames. But the logo works well.

If you put the sketchbook on a desk you could also introduce pens and pencil sharpenings, can of Coke etc. to further the aesthetic.

I like the handwritten text. Not keen on the skethbook edges at the moment but i like the texture of the paper.

I like the sketch book idea, why not try puttin like coffee/tea rings on the table, so it looks less clean, if that makes sense?
Also I think the tellys need to be more 3D (some one said this the other day but cant member who?).
I like the way youve got it to preview the animation before hand.
Also someone commented on the contact info, could not sort out how to get the 'contact' button to be the rollover alone???
