I'm nothing if not ambitious.
Realistically, the website for Jessica Verday's The Hollow ought to have taken a solid two weeks to put together. Given more time, I likely would have spent a few more hours on the flash components of the site, and I would have skinned the blog for her too - but barring that, I somehow managed (still not entirely sure of the mechanics since the week was a bit of a blur and I didn't sleep an awful lot from stress), to spit out eight layouts within the framework.
Eight. Eight!
Item a: That's redonkulous.
Item b: When the publisher, the editor and the author herself are all pleased with the fact that not only did I stick to the design brief I drew up for graphics, but I managed to somehow mash together two different requests for the aesthetic, I call it a success.
Pretty damned pleased with myself for this one, but lordy... I am not going to attempt to do something this big in that timeframe for a very long time.
*sweatdrop*
Check it out, live and large: http://www.jessicaverday.com
On a side note, having a chance to devour the book days before starting the build is single-handedly the best thing I could have ever done to get inspired.
You'll have the chance to get your hands on it in September 2009 (so I've been totally spoiled. Ha ha!)
(Big thanks to Jessica, on this one.)
