OK, this is more like "Wow!" If it passes the accessibility tests, looking good. My only problem is that the stem (beige stick-like thing in the center) looks a lot like a cigarette butt...If that were digitized out or modified in some way, it would be fine. I like the rounded corners on all of the boxes. I like the colors. This works for me graphically. Richer design. The background need not be something discernable, but it must have something that looks photographic and have something more than flat and square-edged images. This has much more depth, graphically speaking, and meets photographic quality with rounded edges. Not at all the flat, boxy look of the current WAI pages and most of the designs we have seen thus far. We had two main goals for this project: Make things easier to find everything on the site and a graphically rich site to demonstrate that Accessibility does not mean that the site could not be graphically appealing to sighted users. In my opinion, it is critical to our credibility as an organization (W3C and WAI) to meet the second goal. We have done famously on our first goal. This design moves us much farther ahead on our second goal than any other design. Thank you!!!!!! Charmane -- MSU: Advancing Knowledge. Transforming Lives.
