I had thought that the redesign of RSArt would be a simple affair – it was time for a refresh and I wanted to move away from the clean interface to something with a little more grunge and character.

After collecting dozens of reference images and working through several iterations of the design (I’m on my 4th or 5th deviation and looks nothing like the original designs from a month ago apart from having red in it), it’s close to final.

Moving from Photoshop to an HTML/CSS design however brings many flaws of the design to light. I had concentrated on the big design blocks such as the header, backgrounds etc., but I had neglected the micro details such as formatting the post titles and dates. Separating comments. Just what to have in the sidebar.

All these little niggly aspects need to be ironed out before I upload.

Oh, Forbidden Planet is selling World War Hulk for £17, Amazon has it for £11.
