Welcome

Welcome to An all Red site. Here I'll demonstrate what can be accomplished using a single dominate color. The links above switch the external stylesheet, allowing you to see a radically different interpretation of the xhtml you're currently viewing.

This is my final project for Temple University's Web and Print Design class taught by Elizabeth Kilroy. It is the continuation of my midterm project, which was simply to do something red. If you haven't already guessed, this site is very much inspired by Dave Shea's CSS Zen Garden. Also, some of the art are modified Jack Vettriano pieces - just so y'know.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the varying shades of red that will take over your screen.

Development Journal

This is the development journal I kept while creating An all Red sire. First is what actually happened, followed by a preliminary schedule.

Actual Journal

  • Finished everything! Some kinks needs to be worked out, of course, but we got a finished product.
  • 5/3: Finished Warning and began putting the site together
  • 4/22: Although well aware of liquid layouts (my portfolio is liquid), after reading Jeremy Keith's article Fixed Fashion, I think I'll try my hand at making Bold liquid. Also, quick note, for the header, use Trebuchet, followed by Verdana, followed by Helvetica - word.
  • 4/20: Finished 'Romantic' - can't get the nav/blogroll borders to extend down the page.
  • 4/13: Nearly finished 'Romantic'.
  • 4/7: Began cutting and coding for 'Romantic' while waiting for Animation class to start - scandalous.
  • 4/6: Cut all images and finished coding CSS for 'Sinful' - looks snazzy.
  • 3/30: Finished coding CSS for 'Rustic'.
  • 3/27: Cut images for 'Rustic'. Began coding CSS for 'Rustic'.
  • 3/16: Researched Style Switching and nav for rustic design
  • 3/6: Began writing markup
  • 3/4: Began reading The Zen of CSS Design (Finished 3/15)
