Goals
The goal of this particular project was to take an existing page of HTML and create an entirely new layout and design using only CSS. The HTML was not modified in any way.
Details
I knew I wanted to create a frog pond design. I wanted the layout to be fluid, much the way a stream might meander around through the terrain. Graphics and text seem to intermingle, flowing effortlessly into one another at times.
I wanted the background to look as if it was on an old sheet of linen parchment with frayed edges. A challenge was to design the background image so that it was small enough to avoid a long download time yet large enough so that the repetition wouldn't be obvious. Further discussion of the graphic design on this site complete with examples can be found here.
