Here's a teaser of my upcoming cruise site (hopefully your Flash plug-ins are up-to-date):

http://www.totaldynamicstudios.com/cruise/cruise.html

It's just the homepage - no links are active... yet, since the other pages are still quite the work in progress. It will be an interactive multi-media experience. :D

One proud thing to note: I made that porthole frame for the slideshow. Oh, and if any of you read nautical flags... ;)

I'm making this for my web design class final project. If I have the time, I might even make a Flash-based game for it too.

Very nice site, and cool use of the nautical flags :)

I used to have my name spelled out in those somewhere...

That's a fantastic layout.

What's the ghosty image behind the links? Looks like some kind of Mickey?

That's the underwater statue in Castaway Cay. I composited that with the background in a gradient to make it feel underwater without being distracting. He shows up better on the other pages. :)

Thanks for the feedback! :)

I won a drawing at work for tickets to Classical Mystery Tour at Segerstrom Concert Hall. Not something I'd go out of my way to see, but it sounded like a good time and worth the price of free.

Then I saw the face value of the box seat tickets and seriously considered selling them. But the winner of the other two tickets in the box is a VP, and I don't know if it'd be considered bad etiquette to sell company box seats on Ebay. Plus, I took a look at an image of the venue, and the seat location, and suddenly I'm pretty excited to go. Not often I get the opportunity to put on my best suit and be fancy for an evening:

GD, that place looks so awesome! I can just imagine what it is going to sound like and I am totally coveting your free tickets. Lucky!

LoL - It's about time!

NO way!!!! Awesome! Where were they?
