I was going for an offset screenprinted look with the accent colours, but Pedro suggests they may not be working in my last shot. Here's a better crop of them. What do you think?
It looks consistent, that's for sure! I wasn't even arguing about that. I was just wondering about the legibility of the text. Maybe that's only my problem. It works better on this one with bigger text though.
I like where you're going here and, on a totally non-creepy/stalker point, you have ridiculous cheek bone structure. I mean, seriously, you should model.
Here's the wide view of what I have so far for my personal landing page. Working in the browser from this point.
I'm setting this up so that most of the core graphics have transparent backgrounds, so color scheme changes will be a matter of exporting accent graphics and changing the body background. A few extra spans for a lot of flexibility.
Colors are still in the works (maybe adding white accents or ditching the yellow), but I think the layout is good to go.

I happen to dig what is going on here. I loved the black and white, but the off register look with the yellow is quite nice.

Thanks Dan! Is off register the appropriate term? I've always been a web gal. :)

Really nice Allison. Good and different.

A fair point, Pedro! I plan on @font-facing most of this puppy, so we'll have to see how that shakes out in the browser.
Thanks Matt! Couldn't ask for a kinder description.

Haha! Many thanks Rob, but I'm not sure my computer nerd posture is suited for the modeling world. :)
