This is kind of like a 2 dimensional map from a street view rather than aerial view, that scrolls through its history in locations in a bold, graphic way. Maybe instead of text we could have a thumbnail or video/.gif clip. It draws your attention and wants you to explore more. It could be a great way to start getting into stories while gaining a little bit of background about the whole magazine.
I like the feel of this site. The animation that starts is intriguing and adds a little suspense for the content that follows. It's not overly Tim Burton-y but it has enough of the dark, twisted feel that it seems appropriate. I enjoy the movement when you click on other pages, adding to the experience like you are going through a physical space. I think we could have a little more oomph in the opening splash, but we should definitely keep in mind tone and suspense that will make people want to see more content.
