Web design masterclass...

Posted November 12, 2002 5:00 PM.

So I've been being all creative recently. First I redesigned Venusberg.org for Dan, and then Phil and I helped out Mr Webb with his CSS. Designing Dan's site was particularly interesting for me - it's my first design that's based entirely around typography (although of course that doesn't mean that some of the typography isn't rendered as an image). Mostly I'm very happy with it, except a few irritations have crept in - there aren't enough date formats for me in Blogger, so that doestn't look as classy as I might have liked - and there are some irritations with the way it translates line breaks as well that meant I couldn't do the half-em paragraph breaks that I wanted. But otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it and I hope he will be too... My favourite part? The font for the logo is based on the letters at the base of Trajan's column...
