So last night at 9:30pm I started with a blank photoshop canvas. I needed to build a celebration/giveaway site for my blog The Industry, since we turned one year old today! 12-12-12!
It was a crazy night! I live streamed the whole thing and a bunch of you awesome people stuck around with me all night! Checkout the videos here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/drew-is-live
Was fun, and exhausting :) I even managed to make it retina... well not the sponsor logos.. but the other images are. The reason it was so easy to make it retina is because it's mostly css design and not image design.
It also responds to you sizing down your browser ;)
Go Win some amazing stuff!! NOW! We're giving away a BUNCH of cool stuff! http://theindustry.cc/1/
@Drew Wilson Jeez dude! I watched most of it, all i can say is what an absolute champion, i truly admire you. Congrats to The Industry Team keep up the awesomeness.
Literally amazing mate! So VERY impressed, and I agree with @Dan Lebowitz, I cannot believe you managed responsive AND retina. Great work and truly inspiring (man I'm slow...).
On another note, I thought you had Justin Bieber on your team until I realised it was a guy named 'Chris' :D
@Drew Wilson Congrats on this page (and the previewed Industry 2.0 layout.)
A big thanks to both you and @Jared Erondu for making this community, and especially for the opinions section. There's some great design and life philosophy being fleshed out by the team.
I rly like it and even like it more like the industry standard gray site ;) Unfortunately the stream quality is so bad I have to guess what u're writing. But awesome work!!!

Impressive, man. Great work. I couldn't believe you got responsive in there too. What did you start out with as a code base / skeleton?
