Here are a few more images showing a few more refined areas of the proposed blog design. The main blog page now has extra items on the left at an angle which will need to be images and have a image map to create links. Then there is a more detailed side bar for the photography section. With the image mapping involved in this design it means it will be even less able to translate into a Wordpress theme than the current design.
When CSS 3.0 is relseased and browsers accept the standards, I will be able to create the slanted text effect without using images and so will be able to turn it into a dynamic menu and therefore a theme. Unless I’ve changed the design again… which is more than likely!

A quick Photoshop to demonstrate the point. Do you agree? I’m not sure yet, only time will tell.

This is a concept for a new blog design. I don’t know if I will have time to finish the concept and put it into action but after a few comments by Daniel O’Connell relating to a similar looking piece of work, I decided to prototype a few bits. I still need to show how images will look, YouTube videos, links, tags, tag cloud, blogroll, search box and comments. Also I want to tailor this to include my latest Flickr uploads (possibly in the photography section) and my twitter feed, something I didn’t do in my current theme as I didn’t know I was going to use them as much as I have.
I will keep working on it and post up a more polished picture in another post.
Here are the results, comments are welcome.
I found this amazing YouTube video in which someone draws a werewolf from scratch in Photoshop. I wish I could do this!

I love comedy. I love wit. I love being a geek. So what happens when you combine all these? You get the competition from cracked.com to Photoshop the best powerup into real a real-life situation.
Some people (I hope) didn’t spend much time on the Photoshopping but some didn’t need much.
The favourite of mine is below.

Oh and the title of this post is the sound that Mario makes when he gets a powerup in case you didn’t quite get the strangely spelt, obscure reference.

So although I’ve been hacking away at the code of the current design of this site I realised that it wasn’t conducive to a portfolio site. So in an attempt to make myself seem more ‘designery’ I will be trying to implement the design I have concocted as shown in the screen shot. Any comments would be appreciated (Russell). The next step is to Photoshop a concept for the portfolio page.

Yes I’m still up!
I’ve made a new blog for the Virtual Environments project which you can check out here or click the link on the right.
I’ve also fleshed out my new website design a little more… looks like I won’t be using my newly found Java script drop-down menus.
Here’s a screen shot.

I have just finished a quick template of a holder page for Rave On Air 2008. There is no branding for it yet and I don’t expect there will be for a few months yet so I was instructed to use the Ravensbourne colour scheme. Let me know what you think.
