Artist's Comments

I made several changes, based on the feedback I got (thanks everyone!) My first submission was basically a proof-of-concept testing how far HTML, CSS and JS can go. This one just tightens it up a bit more.

- Now validates as HTML 4.01 (yay!)
- Colors are higher in contrast
- Heading style are more consistent
- Centered images in sidebars
- Centered the footer
- Revamped the HTML for the userpages
- Changed the look of the tabs.
- Added my deviantIcons toolbars =D (Big Grin)
- Changed toolbar names, icon and ordering
   (easier to use, and reduces redundancy).

When downloading, the zip file includes everything except the content-filler images

Prototypes are available online:
- Homepage
- Userpage

Just for fun: I was also experimenting with alternate stylesheets. Those of you with a Mozilla browser can change stylesheets on-the-fly on the homepage ("View", "Use Style", then the name of the stylesheet).
- Change it to "Royal", which is just a purple recolor done in CSS (see screenshot).
- Change it to "Base", to see the basic HTML. This is the HTML without applying the CSS, just to show how powerful CSS is in completely changing the look.

Wow that's nice! Looks alot better now, with the added contrast. The only thing you might want to change is the expand buttons on the "Deviations" list on the main page. Although they look nice, they wouldn't be too easy to click.

Well done. Very minimal, and very simple.

I think there's a lot of open space in this design, but that may not be a bad thing, depending on one's taste in design.

I really like it, it's very minimal, yet concise with 56k users because it leaves quite a small footprint. I love all the rollover effets ya got going here but almost gives me a seizure. Nice work!

one thing though, is some places could sure use the hairline border. There are some nice innovative parts, but it still seems like DAv2 only cosmetically stripped down, but I guess you can call it a good thing for the future.

one suggestion: how about applying some CSS to the dropdown box for online|away|invisible?
