Just a quick note to commemorate a design refresh of this site. Have been looking for ways to create seperate attention for main text and the sidebar. Can’t say I haven’t been inspired by Jon Hicks (and others) who has also just implemented a differing-colour-main-part-with-border on his site. Kept the main nav in the middle, to add ugliness give the design a quirky edge. If I have time to put the searchbar up top the nav may be able to move over to the left.
You’ll notice the logo is a lot smaller. What can I say? My cream ran out, plain and simple. I’m much happier with it, now it’s smaller. I’ve still to update the logos for the inspiration square.
The sidebar still suffers from mixed header styles headers have been updated too. Haven’t managed to add any other colours to the red & gold colour scheme yet though!
Make sure you visit my (on site!) Tumblr page. An upcoming post will describe how I managed to create internal links to the content there — the “latest interesting stuff” links in the sidebar are generated on the fly.
The first wallpaper is taken from the beautiful Jason Brooks illustration on the website of Fierce Angels, from their september 2006 re-style. A beautiful dark angel, with a big sword, high heeled boots and a thunderous sky above her. What more could you want?
Next up is a disco girl, taken from the cover of a Fierce Angels CD, Fierce Disco, in stores from 16th of April 2007. Somewhat less dramatic, but still nice to have if you’re a fan of the style.
