Good Example: YouWorkForThem:

Nice clear ver­tical design from YouWorkForThem. Good use of fixed pos­i­tion­ing for the pagination.

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.

Of course, if you find any quirks, let me know.

Now here’s a treat: two Jason Brooks wall­pa­pers from his time at Fierce Angels. He’s left now, and Fierce Angels have taken on Jason Jaroslav Cook to cre­ate their covers.

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.

Jon Hicks has just redesigned his site. It includes a great con­tact page!
