Hi, Jill -
Very interesting concept. You would need to modify the color palette...the one used here is a better match for our old site rather than the new one we referenced which is in process.
I think it may be overly complicated, too. Any way to simplify, but keep the idea?
Also, just to let you know, I tried to rank your design as #1, but was presented with a message that said you were too new to be ranked as #1...that it is a security measure to protect us against copyright infringement or potential original design issues. I think I'd be complaining about that if I were you.
Thanks,
Beth
