    I'll have to look at that site a bit later. For some reason it is taking FOREVER to load.

    As far as large image backgrounds, I came across this article a couple weeks ago. Dos and Don'ts of large background designs.

    Another article from the same blog that has some awesome sites in artistic design.
    Have Fun!

    I randomly stumbled upon "Deva Studios," a motion graphics firm for major films, TV, etc. While their current page is pretty average, their old one was really top-notch. It was flash based, with a (surprisingly) eye-pleasing use of an orange color scheme. There was music overlayed, and it wasn't obtrusive at all: everything fit so perfectly that I had to download the songs for myself by looping them through my sound card. :D

    What really struck me was the fact that the background had depth. 3D objects moved in the background - the best way to describe it was that they were building objects out of themselves. It was totally surreal and simply cool.

    I realize this doesn't paint a good picture, and it's been years since I've seen it because they "updated" (read: made boring) their layout. But to this day, I've never seen a site anywhere close.

    Okay just to clarify something on the 2 advanced sight, they got away with a large background because it was part of the flash animation. That means that the entire animation loaded including the background. You werent able to because your image was large, fairly poor quality, and the last life logo didn't flow well with it. But on the other hand it did look good, and I'm sure you could come up with something that the client would like. But yeah I havn't found really good designes in a while. Too bad about that deva studios, I would've liked to have seen that 3D transform.

    Personally i am really not a fan of flash sites.
    A website is somewhere you go to get information not view graphics. I understand the odd flash effect but not the whole site based on flash.
