Vectorr

***** Updates Below ***


Damn I wish I had a few extra $$ to throw around.....id probably put this up. For now though...i guess it goes the route of my other experiments. It also would have been a nice CSS canidate.....so lack of $$ sucks even more lol.

I also tried to use color (LOL!)....trying to break the gray mold i use for everything. I cant help it though.....i love simple colors. But atleast its a light brown instead of a light gray!!

I also have a second version

where i put a brown box around the "featured work"...even though its consistent with the left side.......it really throws off the weight of the layout ( i think anyway)

Sounds like some sort of dinosaur ;)

Really digging the layout. Really nice simple and a great soft colour scheme to boot. I prefer the first version personally.....although the second's not bad either........hmmmm i like em both :D

lol @ dinosaur. Either that or some kinda vodka/alcohol lol.

Then i thought to myself.....what the hell...... i'll try skinning a board to match the site (never done this before).

Based off phpBB : Vectorr BB

Its simple, but it works (not like that...its not real lol). It went quick (only like an hour and a half). Most of it was trying to fake all the numbers...that was pain!

hey that's nice - I wanna join

I have some space and some bandwidth I can spare if it helps - what do you need to make it work? PM me

Awesome, looking great. Vectorr2 layout is the best.

just as an update kinda thing...... im going to try and go through with the site :D . A little help + a little sacrifice might = a decent site. we'll see.

Just dont injure any tables. Ill code it up with CSS if you want...

How can I have missed this?
Well I want to help out too.
Sounds like a really nice idea!
I was thinking about making a tutorial site for illustrator myself.

Looks great man.. I also have some extra webspace & such... I'd really like to see this online

Well as a lot of my projects go, this kinda went down the drain too. Reason being i just ran out of all creative ideas and could not finish the design so i could figure out how to make it.

Though the project is still on hold, i was bored and decided to take another look at the layout. Then the ideas just started flowing

I axed the left menu ( i hated the look of it and it was a bitch to code into the CSS). I think getting rid of the information is an acceptable risk if it'll make the design look better.

So now it has a slim/clean style. Too clean (?) maybe. So i though maybe i could accent the layout with some kinda swirly-vectory-looking graphics. The ones i made were just a quick idea....so they're not set in stone.

Also with it's new style, the gallery was easy add, so i mocked that up aswell.

These pics are perfect though. I just cut/pasted up screenshots......i didnt actually edit my PSD. If the changes are good, i'll redo them in the PSD.
