Whether you want to sell products or launch
smear campaigns against your enemies,
we will help get your message across
in a clear and effective way.
LOL... i don't like it!!! try not to be so campy with the copy.
And why is W so big, then the three words in a cap than the rest of the copy? looks like a mistake.
i liked the dive into part "fantastic world" is a bit over the top, though. and really like where you are headed with the overall feel of it. but it isn't feeling finished.

The title/intro page has a poor hierarchial structure - and the grid is wavering all over the place. It looks very inconsistent and elements arbitrarily placed. This contrasts negatively with the "elegant" look you are communicating through your minimal design and text.
It immedietly calls to mind a wedding invitation. And I hate wedding invitations - script is tacky 99% of the time it is intended to be elegant.
I love your fattening of america piece - meat sculpting is always a good time!

thanks for your comments! :)
aww, i kinda like the copy. haha i'll have to think about it.
The W is like that because that's how I start paragraphs sometime in print articles, like a drop cap except it doesn't go down to the next line. The next couple of words were supposed to be small-caps. i guess that technique doesn't really translate too well to web. i would like something to draw the reader to the paragraph tho, maybe i'll try a faded scripty W in the background or something when i get home.
do you think its missing a graphical element?

Keep/slightly modify (to a better hierarchy) everything below "skypool design" & your email address.
Everything else, including the "Intro page", needs some work.

Yah, I think " Whether you want to sell products or launch

thanks for your comments 100screamingtrees (what should i call you for short?)
i see what you mean. i was going for random placements, but that doesn't really jive with the font choice. i wasn't going for the wedding invite look, but i kinda see it now, maybe i'll rethink the script font...

Navian: thanks for the comments, i'll work on it more when i get home.
Delusns: i might keep it just cuz it gets a reaction, besides, smear campaigns are fun, you get to use a lot of creativity
