This Site=awesome

http://www.newrafael.com/

I found this site with the help of Stumble Upon as well and thought it was pretty entertaining. I love the different techniques and ideas they used in each page. There is creativity and a fun vibe. Sometimes it can be a little creepy. Some pages can be less entertaining than others but they still have a way to catch the eye. I would have picked different colors for a few but most we pleasant.
I feel like this site should have been in the WebArt class. Actually it might have been, I might be wrong. But either way I still enjoy it. The way they put together is interesting as well. The main page has a photo of a man that looks like he just jumped off the dock and is about to hit the water. and on the bottom left there are links with names and years. When you scroll over each, it gives you a sneak peak of what the page looks like. Then when you click on one it takes you to another screen.
Sometime the page has additional buttons at the top where there are even more pages with different effects. Exploring with each page can keep you playing for hours. Its nice to have each one on a different screen but gets a little cluttered when you don't exit out. I went through all pages and loved the Futurephysics the most but really I enjoyed most of them. Some could use a little help. Either the color was off or the sound was annoying. I thought the clever ones won me over more.
I love interactive sites that are not games and this is one you can get lost within. There is so much to click on and play with. I come back to this site over and over just to see what I have missed. I find I like sites better when there is a lot to do and play with. It makes it even better when they have pretty colors and non annoying sounds.
