This site pulls out all the bells and whistles - no pun intended. It opens with the sound of a train horn and ends with the title rolling to a stop on a blank screen. From there, the train theme continues. The navigation is set up as a railroad map with some of the stops being clickable. The background of the website looks like digital scrapbooking with the purpose of showing the designer's skills in Illustrator. The site actually gets quite old very quickly but it does remain consistent in it's train theme. The designer's reason for the transportation motif was to express the idea of motion — the idea that her work is progressive and modern (and unique).
I found the site interesting for two reasons: first, the fact that it was mentioned as an example for a portfolio piece, and second, because it appears to be the total opposite of what our artist, Joan Stolz, desires for her site.

wonderful design, i didn't understand it all but i found it very easy to navigate. Very interesting how it seems busy but clean at the same time. Good find!
Wow. You're right -- jsut the opposite of what J. Stolz would prefer. I admit it isn't my style either. I couldn't get the navigation to work for me half of the time!
