| "Spellbinding
storytelling. A triumph of script,
art direction, and technology. Superior
work in every way."
"Nicely done especially for
a student site. I teach design at
a major University, and I can honestly
say that I have seen my fair share
of mediocre work. This site however
is very nicely planned out with great
imagery and copywriting. Very nicely
done."
