KODA

I did a considerable realign of the chromakode.com front page today while chilling online with Whatah. We both decided out of the blue to redesign our websites, and after hours of tinkering, we both managed to overhaul them in an afternoon. There’s all sorts of new delicious markup-y goodness for you and your web browser to enjoy, as well as huge bandwidth wasting backgrounds a-plenty.

I decided to be a little bit risky this time and do some subtle transparency over large swaths of the layout… it shall be interesting to see the browser compatibility fallout from this one (I laugh at how badly this breaks now in IE) . Here’s a screenshot of it on my desktop for your comparison/reference. Also, here’s the original mockup I made when first envisioning the design. All in all, I’m really happy about the update. The typography is something I fussed with the most on this, and I finally feel like I can be satisfied with the lettering looking good on-screen. Yay! Well, I’m excited and exhausted.

Sorry there hasn’t been much going on here as of late — though I have been busy working on a new art project here that I will disclose more details about as soon as it is ready.
