Started designing a new web site for my dad yesterday. He's an artist who does modern sculptures/conceptual art often combined with strong black and white photography. This is just an initial draft of the page, but I'm gonna go with something strong and very simple as that resembles his work best.
Cool Dad! And yes! looks really good, I like the minimalistic approach. Used to hate yellow as a kid but I think it's like with food as you grow up your taste develops, now it's one of my favourites and I'd certainly eat that!
First version is now live http://askos.fi/ …though still a work in progress with those subpage styles (they are a bit weird now), have to finish the styles once I have more time
