Right-aligned website is go!
Finally after much ado about nothing, I decided to finish my other sections; the index, the gallery and the about-section of this sight using a design-idea from 2007. Why right-aligned? Well, it’s not much used, and I really wanted to separate myself from the other 99% of websights out there.
Now that it is done, two things remain: 1.) Adjust this blog so it fits better in with the style of the rest of the sight, and 2.) Battle comment-spam. I get on average 1,000 spam-messages per week to this blog. When reading through them I get the feeling someone just hates the internet, as they are totally useless. What happened to spam that used to advertise something? The spam I get is just gibberish that links to malware. What is the point? (Bro-tip: There is no point.)
I will have a course in colours
At my place this month. It will cover many aspects of colouring and include what trends are out there etc. as well as distinguishing good and bad colour-usage. For more about the event, you must relocate to this site. It’s in Norwegian so don’t feel alienated if you don’t understand what’s written there. It’s alright!
Text overlapping two-coloured background in CSS
See this, it’s a proof of something I have wanted to try for a long while. I am sure this has been done before, but I have not seen it, and this is completely my own take on it. I do believe it can be improved, and if that is the case, please help a fellow out. Here’s the code for one of the uppermost black row:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0
}
html {
padding: 5em;
font-family: Georgia, serif
}
h2 {
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 25%;
padding: .75em .5em 0 .5em;
font-size: 1.5em;
}
.colonthree {
background: #333333;
border-bottom: 1em solid #000000;
color: #ffffff;
}
.colonthree span {
color: #cccc99;
font-style: italic
}The whole CSS is available too! Be aware that this only works for one line of text!
Strange vehicles
So I found this site about strange vehicles of pre-war Germany and the Third Reich (1928-1945) while doing research on WW2-era vehicles. I went all over it tonight, and even though this is relevant to my WW2-project at work, I think most of it will end up being used as inspiration for NMDT, my super-comic which will be done sometime during 2010 and will happen to be Norway’s most detailed comic until I make a new comic to beat it.
Enough talk, here’s some of what you can expect from the site:
Fig. 1: Boo-ya!
Fig. 1: Raaaaaaaawr!!!
A word of advice: There are many sections on this site and I will advice you to take it with a grain of salt. There are some manipulated images and sections that are mostly conspiracies for the sake of conspiracies as well as things that are just fantasy mock-ups of things that were highly unlikely to ever have been conceived. Other than that, it’s one hell of an interesting site!
Icons!
Shiny, glossy, fancy icons! I love making icons. It’s something that I haven’t done so much, and which is refreshing to do. You’ve probably seen the “Ten iPhone-apps you’ll never see” post which I wrote earlier. Making those icons were fun. :3 So now a friend of mine asked me to make an icon for him for a project, and the result is here:
Fig. 1: Scale program icon.
Now the verdict is pending whether he likes it or not… Moving on, here’s another icon, of which I’ve used as the icon for the site folders:
Fig. 2: A fancy, black folder.
Both graphics were lovingly crafted in Adobe illustrator CS2.
