Working it out

Erica Ann — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 02:46:48 +0000

Now, I am thinking that maybe, if I work it out here, I can get some ideas.

I like:

Colours – Bright, Bold and Dark too
Grunge Design – ok, a little, not overboard
Corkboard
Illustration
A-typical layout
Something different
Use of Typography
Scrapbook style and colours

I want to include:

CSS for the layout
XHTML at least 1.0 transitional. I would like for it to pass as 1.0 Strict, but sometimes the look will not render right. I found that out on the beta. When I set the doctype as 1.o Strict, it validates, but the visual part does not render the same. I do not know what the difference between the Transitional and Strict makes on the rendering when the code is the same and validates both ways??
Lots of Different (but not tacky looking) Typography
Photos
Photos from the Everclear Concert
Graphics
Logos
Articles

I am tired of:

All websites looking similar blocky (even with rounded corners)
Navigation all looking the same – hortzontal menus and vertical menus mashed together in blocks

Beta

I know I shouldn’t be, but I am already getting bored of my design. I want something new, something different. I like the corkboard look and the a-typical nagivation. The problem is, I also like the grunge look. And, I like the illustrated look. What to do.???

Lately, I have spent a lot of time working on the ericastjohn.com website. It was originally started so I could have a “showcase” of a lot of my graphics, photos and articles. I have gone through a few designs already. The latest one is one that is XHTML 1.0 strict /CSS /Accessible.
