Skyaak re-birth-ing
December 29, 2008
As mentioned earlier, we are now in the home stretch in the process to overhaul skyaak.com.


People still tell me that it’s a good-looking site,

but everyone around here believes it’s time for an extreme makeover.
For one thing, mind-mapping

and eye-maps tell us that the logo-man ought to be chucking the Skyaak up to the upper left-hand side of the page to draw eyes in a natural swooping trajectory.




At present, the ‘logo-man’ is throwing Skyaak Model 3 in a closed loop off to the right hand side of the page, like a visual staircase to nowhere. Not so good. We’ll probably abandon the idea of an animated gif altogether on the new site. More than likely we will have a brief, friendly introductory video to give it a personal feel. I imagine you will get the impression that I am pretty excited about the Skyaak design and how well it flies.
There will also be a big emphasis, as always, on how good this unit looks. As an artist, I am always looking for a new perspective on this project. A major perk for me is quite simply the look of the thing as it flies through the air.
