"feeling underwhelmed"
date: April 5, 2007
All the buttons were terrible. Design your hit frame better. Rectangles tend to work well.
The 'topic' link itself didn't work.
Th idea was mildly amusing and had good potential for diversity.
'I ain't a queer' made me smile, as did 'We're not very good', 'you can touch this', 'We're getting too old for this'.
A few of the pics were really impressive - something that wouldn't look out of place on a record store. The Vivaldi CD, the Man's Volta, the Massive Attack CD and the ? one (with the panda) were all cool.
I felt the majority of the pieces were a bit 'enh' - always a risk with a collab. You maybe could have exercised a bit more stringent 'qualification criteria'.
The way everything moved wasn't too great - I would've preferred it had we sorta moved rapidly from one CD to the next, but holding each cover 'in frame' for longer to get a better view.

Interesting idea, but I didn't really feel it was pulled off nearly as well as it might have been. With a lot of the entries a bit short on either aesthetics or humour, I found myself feeling underwhelmed by the end.
