Flashface.ctapt.de - Your Face as a Police Sketch

Flashface is a site where visitors can piece together archaic looking yet accurate facial features to form a face. It seems to be in the early stages of graphic development with tiny words and black and white features. The lack of color and pizzazz is off-putting but the truth is that you can make a pretty good police sketch of yourself and people you know. The features that compose the face sketch are: hair, head shape, hairline, eyebrows, eyewear, eyes, nose, mustache, mouth, chin, and beard. In each category there are between thirty and sixty options, which is barely enough to choose a feature that resembles the person you are trying to create. The site has very few preference options but once a face is formed users can save and print the face as well as view the faces in the guestbook. Flashface is a useful site for temporarily curing boredom and sketching a criminal. If Flashface introduced another version with color, more feature options, and way to link the sketch to a blog or website, it could really take off.

Besides the fact that it hurts your eyes a little to navigate, the completed faces really do look human once you are done. All the sketches look like criminals, which is cool and perfect for making WANTED posters.

There is no way to contact the site and the level of graphic design needs to be updated to hold the attention of the web crowd.
