When I crossed over from the print world to interactive, there were a few things that I had to give up. One was working in Photoshop with a file that was 400mb — but I didn’t really miss that. What I did miss was the nuances of type. It was something that I just couldn’t control. I forgot kerning. I forgot leading. I focused on the template and the transitions.
But I’m starting to love type again. Here’s a simple site that delivers some long copy in an interesting way. Screw the template.

It’s an interesting approach, I hope your user behavior reports will show how people interact with this design. For example, I found that I was tempted to click on the underlined words in the text.
From what I’ve seen so far, Huge Inc. does a really great job at mixing type with interactive elements.
