The
design: The client supplied me with the logo and index page illustration.
I conversed with a band member and listened to a demo CD to undestand
the atmosphere desired. The mood was to be dark, edgy, murky. I
took the band name as a design launching pad and made the site "muddy,"
with a dark, mottled background and intentionally messy but legible
text. Random textured images were superimposed on the background
to keep it from looking to carefully patterned.
