I love how there is so much interaction within this site! I would love to create a site that allows music to play while loading it (percentage of page loading is a MUST now!) A media player with the a volume control would be awesome.

Also I would love to learn how to make the effect of turning a page with flash. So this would create the illusion of actually being in a fantasy book.

Use of the black/white/red colour scheme is VERY eye-catching and appealing. Lovely rollovers and photos in advertising their japanese clothes brands.

I just found the use of flash elements put into html pages. Very suave but I don't know, this site was a bit of a pain to load due to its data size.

Great use of colour and vectors! Clearly represents Mika's cheery personality within most of his songs as they are pop-ish and very catchy. PHP pages but with flash elements too! Very snazzy.

God, I love this film but its website blows me away. Use of rollovers (look at the codes!!!) and the continuous video background, was very cool and high-tech at the beginning, but after a while it got a bit annoying. Love the use of the timeline on the bottom.

Conclusion:

With these websites as inspirations, I am definitely heading towards making a flash-based website. I am going to put a large photo in the background and code it to transform/translate side to side to the user's mouse movements.

Navigation bar will be on the bottom. Sparkly/glowy rollovers are being created in my mind. The main text area would be like a stage or be a flowery textured framed. My main character would be sitting on the bottom left corner of the website 24/7 and looking cute.

Now, I shall be off to do a PSP sketch of this idea. Wish me luck! :)
