A fresh look for foxymcloud.com

Finally, a design without my hands in the graphic work: if you’ll take a moment to stop on over at foxy m cloud, you’ll see a fresh new design that went live today.

The graphics (the cloud in the header and the foxes in the footer) were obviously not drawn by me. Foxy’s highly talented younger sister provided those, and it was up to Foxy & me to design a complete site around them. I went with a liquid design because I love them so, and you might be able to imagine the distraught look on my face when Foxy said, “I want rounded corners. You have to make rounded corners. You better not leave any sharp corners.” The markup is a bit… well… heavy, but that’s what you have to do if you want a liquid design with rounded corners.

So the design, as a whole, is finally something that my fiancée is really happy with and if you don’t like it, you’ll have to talk to her since it was all her idea. If you ask me, it’s clean and nice and “minimal” without being too plain. It’s time for me to put it down in my portfolio and move on. Item 1 on the long list of things to do this Winter break is complete, here’s hoping the rest of them will be completed too.
