ok, I got to finish this design that I told some people I'd
do. I was drunk, and I.. well, I just want to finish it...
however, my conscience won't allow me to let something
unfinished or halfway go... my designs always turn out
somewhat minimal, and in this one I also had a few things
that I had to take into consideration.. like that logo with
the huge fucking s, the fact that they wanted a blue page
and some design stuff they'd done before that they kind of
wanted to keep the shape of.

the page

does it work? is the navigation intuitive? I don't know if
those links in the line up there are intuitive enough due to
them being black.

nevermind what the text says, it isn't words anyway.

the colors. they wanted blue, they got blue. am I color
blind on other things?

it's better than their last page no matter what, so...

oh, and nevermind the code right now.

when I work on the page, it's all in one file, css and all,
but I'll eventually extract it get some shit done to it and
shit and stuff and shit...

definitely much better than the previous, but take down the
size of the logo a bit. a lot actually.

yeah, the logo is.. well, thing is that if I want it to be
wide enough, that fucking S character makes it as high as it
is... that was the only set graphic element.. I can't just
squish it either, as it is indeed their logo... it's the
student society in bergen, by the way.

I'd say, in my capacity as the world's 47,658th worst
freelance web designer, that there was nothing wrong with
that at all. Looks professional, looks smart, does the job,
good work.

Maybe you could make the logo fade after a certain amount of
time and have it replaced with something smaller?

You could do that with http://moofx.mad4milk.net/ stuff.

is the blue bg included in the logo? either way, scale the
logo down and keep it centered. the blue is way too dominant
over the page, and i'm viewing this on a 1024x768 screen.
think of the people who will be seeing it on a smaller
monitor!

I don't know...

giginger: yeah, I know about those, but they are merely
warnings.. the validator seems to think that I'm not
specifying colour for things... I probably have to give up
my habit of using RGB, even though I never got my head
around those #FFO=F=#)F thiniges.

that would actually be a really good idea if the guy hadn't
said "and.. we don't want any javascript"

thanks, though!

the blue isn't included in the file they sent me, no, but
they wanted a blue page...

I tried making it smaller by letting the s run off the space
at the top, but.. well, it looks weird...

I was only joshing. I don't think anyone ever gets a 100% on
that thing. You fix one thing and it gives you another. Fuck
it.

As for the lack of javascript. Just confuse them and use the
latest net buzzword They'll love it.

It looks fukcing huge on a 1600*1200 at work.

1280*1024 here though and it does look monstrous. Takes
about half the screen.

Tell them it's got to be resized.

ok. I updated the first page link. smaller s.

I also created two new ones. this one is also kind of
a very standard layout, and I made it thinking that they may
want to somehow identify themselves with "Kvarteret," a
student bar where they often have talks and stuff.. their
design is quite similar to this.

with this one, I decided to play a bit more, though it's
still pretty plain. manual labour isn't something you
associate with students, so those working men are meant
ironically, but do you think you'd get that if I didn't tell
you?

again, nevermind the code right now. it will be fixed
later...

i like all of the designs and think they're great. the
second one may actually be slightly too sparse, but i don't
know anything about anything. i don't think anyone will get
the joke, but i don't see that as a problem at all.

thanks! I hope those people will think so too... I'll
probably be giving it to them soon.. unless I think up
another idea for some design...

yeah, people may not really consider those people as
anything besides design elements.. oh well... haha, I can
just write it in small print somewhere: "the two people
are meant ironically, as they are obviously people who do
some sort of manual labour (note the top mans "mobile
phone"lol), which is not the type of labour commonly
associated with students.
" Doing so would both ruin the
already rather bad joke and amplify its effect by 4 joke
points

oh.. it's a student society thingie that's getting the
pages, btw... I don't think I mentioned that before...
