If anyone got that, that was an obscure Starcraft reference, you know? Whenever you finished building a Terran Battlecruiser, it’d pop up and the Commodore would yell, “Battlecruiser Operational!” Yes? No? I’m lame, you don’t have to tell me three times.
Anyway, after about a month’s worth of designing the site (the layout was actually for a final project) and pushing code around, it’s up and functional, as far as I can see. I’m going to put the artwork section back up as soon as I can find a WordPress image gallery plugin that doesn’t shit on my face whenever I try to update it (I used to use NGG gallery – I wouldn’t recommend it). So here it is. I was looking at the websites of so-called “emo” bands and subcultures and wanted to do a slight parody of their somewhat predictable styling in my design, but I don’t think I pulled it off too well, instead of looking ridiculous like I intended, it just blends in. Oh well. I mean, that’s why I’m going to school, right.
What do you think? Don’t mind me, as an aspiring web/graphic designer I tend to get sick of a design five minutes into completing it. It sucks. So in retrospect, here’s something complete unrelated — a picture of a koala in a bucket.
Currently listening to The Offspring – Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?, The Outfield – Your Love, Ras Kass – Interview With a Vampire, Fall Out Boy – America’s Suitehearts, and Super Mash Bros. – I’m an Adler Girl.
Anyway, cheers!
nice redesign. i've looked at it for more than 5 minutes and haven't gotten sick of it yet. good job
I now think we should have a Koala-in-a-bucket theme.
Dear god! That would be an awesome webcomic name.
Yeah, great new webdesign. I think it did pretty well as a "parody" for all the emo stuff.
The sketchbook and ink blobs is a cool, artistic feel.
Looks nice and professional!
and the new comic is HUGE!
thats not a ToS reference is it?
your username i mean
BTW I was looking at your Project Wonderful page and the people going on CUEK has just exploded since the update!
That means more fans!
Yay!
and maybe more forum users (please?)
Starcraft<3
You should play me on battle.net sometime.
Also, the Offspring's new album is pretty good. And I like the redesign.
