Just finished the new website yesterday.

Thanks to Anthony Mendez for all the help and ideas in the first place.

I've been working on that an gearing up for the GDC in San Francisco next week— printing biz cards today.

I'm actually clearing stuff off the insanely obsessive lists I make.

Wow! I like it. Simple, clean and directly to the point.

Maybe I'm an idiot but it took me a minute to figure the demos out. I wanted to click on the headphones or the word demos first before I saw the alt text pop up and realized they aren't headphones they are arrows. That's gotta be just me and being tired on a sunday morning. Nevermind. (edited)

I make lists too, don't feel bad. One of the things on my insanely obsessive lists is to actually create a page for hartvoiceovers and quit having it redirect to the blog.

Edit: I LOVED hearing you sing Garmin dot com. Awesome.

Deirdre,

The site looks and sounds fabulous. However, I got a "file note found" when I clicked the download link for your commercial demo. I thought you should know.

Two things on a really great design:

a. I would add a second, different font style that the cooperplate (cooper=font, hee hee) It's too much for my eye. A little variation I think would help make everything more readable

b. Are there other game stills you can rotate in that big square? Since that is the focus of what you want to do...it would add nice additional visual interest.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedbacks, folks.

Fixed that File Not Found, Bob. Thanks.

Re the fonts, Peter— those are two fonts.
Cooperplate Gothic, as you so aptly recognized, but the big stuff and "headlines" in in the font Not Mary Kate. I'm sticking with a single style so the "live type" matches the graphic text bits.

That center image will change once the GDC is over. It's the cover image of my booklet for the talk I'm giving. Dunno what it will be next.

And, thinking of Brian, I hope the change up of the word DEMOS makes it easier to understand that the demos are below.

"You want to wear more leather." HA! That one caught me off guard and I loved it. I like it all, DB, and hope it brings great things your way.

Love the lightbox thing on the demos, but in Chrome, I'm getting a side to side scrollbar that seems to scroll nothing. Might want to test it in that browser.

Jeff— thanks for that note about Chrome. Anthony tested it in Chrome for me, and that's what he got, too. He says it played, but the "controller" didn't show up. We haven't figured out a cure yet.

Magic Pinto— THANK GOODNESS FOR YOU! You're hired for life.
