Hi,
It looks pretty good - your layout is nice and clean and you have
the grid thing going on too.
I agree with the comments on the rollover - they are quite small /
fiddly. If you are on a 1280 sized layout, then don't be afraid to use
the height - you may be able to use the extra space to make your colour
buttons easier to hit.
If you want some examples of tricks to make your selected colour
more apparent then look at:
O'neill's wetsuit custom build -
http://www.oneill.com/mens-surf-wetsuit-builder.php - a bit tricky on
1280 screen to read the text, but once you get to choosing the colours,
you will see what I mean.
Timberland's custom boot builder leads you step by step. This has
the advantage of leading the visitor and also sharing the interface
space so you can have bigger controls...

Puma's Mongolian Shoe BBQ has 2 ways - a creative, but frustrating
interface, or the simpler "Take Out" version again, it's okay from a
creative perspective, but fiddly to use - not good.
https://www.puma.com/secure/mbbq/pindex.jsp?ip=GB it does become
annoying when it ties up your browser though...
There's loads out there, but the benefit of your's is that it is
simple and straightforward - capitalise on that and take some of Jason's
comments into account, but it's looking good so far, although you may
need to work on the kevlar image - it looks a bit out of scale when
applied :)

Looks good, I like the interactivity. From a usability perspective,
there is an issue you will definitely want to fix. I would make
clicking on a color "stick" better than you currently do so that a new
color does not get changed on the bag when you roll out of the area.
Otherwise, to change a color and make it stick, you have to carefully
roll your cursor straight up or down to get out of the color selection
area. instead, make rolling over change colors inside a smaller
version of the bag, and when you click a color, make it stick on the
"final" larger view of the bag, or something like that. Or do away with
the rollovers alltogether and only make the colors change on the bag
when you click on a color, then it would stick and you wouldn't have the
rollover change conflicts. I know you have some kind of "click to make
it stick" functionality already, but it's getting erased by the
rollovers. I tried making a bag all red or all yellow and found it
difficult becauase the colors kept changing due to the rollovers.
Also, the black font's face and weight are a little bland, especially
against the grey. Grey is good, but overall it's a little blah. Not
too bad though. I would also dump the standard "add to cart" Flash
button in favor of a nicer looking custom one with an icon.

I'm really new to interface design and was wondering if I
could please get some feedback on this and how I can make it
better? ANY advice would be appreciated and/or if you like it.
