That’s a pretty classic example of why the late nineties should never be repeated again.

I’m not getting the scroll bar for the description (maybe their code doesn’t work in Safari), but based upon the rest of the UI I’m pretty sure it’s atrocious from a usability perspective… :)

Like:<br/><a HREF="http://www.linedesigngraphics.com/portfolio.htm" REL="nofollow">line design graphics</a><br/><br/>I love the large blank frame and the email us link labeled "E-mail:<br/>E-mail us by clicking here!" (insert clip of Moe hitting Curly with 2x4 here)<br/><br/>My favorite of their 'portfolio'?<br/><a HREF="http://www.prettyglass.com" REL="nofollow">pretty glass</a> (click on the framed nav link near the bottom to open in new window - can't miss it...it's in 900 pt. font) It has hilariously placed examples as rollovers that change the picture and description (under the picture). Feel free to try and move the mouse from an interior picture to the scroll bar to see the description without mousing over another picture. Good eye/hand practice.
