The reactions

Positive reactions to the graphics used in this prototype. But how it relates to space is not very clear. I would need to rethink the main objective/focus of the website that would represent "space" somehow.

Eva and Spencer suggested that I change the background of the website. But when I presented the idea that the background would change after each click on a link (a different background for each link of the website = 5 backgrounds), they said to somehow improve the navigation bar to relate more to its surroundings.

So the design of the navigation bar is indeed of redesigning and focus. The idea of the background rolling over the previous one, is encouraged, but the music audio player isn't. Eva suggested that it would be very hard to create with Flash. So I would need to create it with HTML and emboss it into one of the pages (most likely the main home page).

So far, everything about this website is based on flash. But now the idea of using HTML Div tags have been suggested by Eva, which would be useful indeed.

Overall, with my current prototype, I really want to redesign it from scratch. I would love to create something simple and effective at the same time, still built by Flash. I am not sure whether I should keep my digital character as I really like from an artist's POV.

Note: The screenshot I posted up earlier did not have completed graphics aka. the navigation bar is not going to look like that, but be created in that position of the layout. Also the frame of the main text will be changed to be more adaptable to the different backgrounds. 

But this would be thought more of. Till then, here are the results. :)

good points about building in dreamweaver using div tags (box construction) Theres a lot of tutorials out there .. either divs or tables work..
