Re: Light Flux

> However, I love making surprising and/or unique transitions that involve elements in both the source and destination media. The transition will likely only be seen once, so it isn't really over kill if it's something super fancy. The only thing to consider is that people don't want to wait for their menus, so try to keep transitions around 3-5 seconds.

Good points, all. There is hardly anything more rewarding than giving viewers unexpected treats.
Your design sensibilities are superior to 99% of our visitors, Darby. I had never considered doing a transiition that only gets seen once. Very cool.

I have, however, used a similar technique in glass art pieces. Only a certain viewpoint will align and refract all optical elements. I have designed these easter eggs so that a passing pedestrian might see the effect as a subtle but unexpected flash of something. If everything works out, the individual will retrace his/her steps to try to reconstruct the effect.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: "For crying out loud, read the freakin' manual."
