Visual design tweak (mostly making the colours nice!) needed for [login to view URL]
Site's HTML/CSS is technologically great, but site lacks impact and looks cheap.
This is a change to put your style and flavour on an existing site.
Note that I don't want the CSS engine itself (a cross browser, device independent, elastic columns configuration) to be changed - it's fine.
## Deliverables
I want you to look at [login to view URL] (static sample copy attached) and jazz it up visually using CSS colour, background images if you want and perhaps some foreground images.
To add/fix/change
[] round - and smooth - the corners on the sidebars (currently a 45 deg slope)
[] what colour for header and its bottom border? background colour or background image?
[] what colours for sidebars and their borders? (if different than above)
background colour or background image?
[] what colours for footer and its border? (if different to header/sidebar colour)
background colour or background image?
[] some kind of image or decoration in the top-right corner of the page?
[] what colour for main content text? (please keep the background here white)
[] what colours for main content links (LVHA)
[] what colour for top most "Warp Asylum"
[] what colour for the main navi links under "Warp Asylum" (don't bother
with "visited" colour here)
[] waht colour for the vertical dividing bar of the above links
[] what colours for sidebar links (LVHA)
[] what colours for footer links (LVHA)
[] what colour for sidebar text
[] what colour for footer text
[] TRY to ensure that the footer *doesn't* touch the lowest sidebar on pages with
little content (eg. the current homepage). I've tried a margin-top
on the footer but to no avail. or could you use a minimum-height on the content?
Actually, if you can fix this nicely but then it doesn't work in IE ...
I don't mind. A nice fix is a nice fix!
Please
[] don't use Flash!
[] don't stray from the XHTML 1.1 doctype
[] ensure delivered CSS passes the W3C validator
(static copy of site should validate from the get-go)
[] ensure any XHTML changes also pass the W3C validator
(static copy of site should validate from the get-go)
[] don't use javascript
[] don't change/add/mess with fonts
[] don't change the overarching CSS layout engine
(which is to say: cross browser elastic columns)
[] keep the "WARP ASYLUM" orange man logo in the design with its current colours
(I guess you could *move* the logo if desired)
[] don't add any browser-specific CSS
