Crystallis 2007

The last incarnation of my freeware design resource site. I went for a greater variety of colors and a heightened contrast versus prior layouts, while keeping usability in mind. The general concept was to economize space; every element of the page stood out due to styling, not huge gaps. The raw header image (the “crystals”) was created in one of my amateur ventures into 3ds Max. Site was coded in PHP and used MySQL for the resources database. (By the end it was around 50+ layouts, 20+ wallpapers, 100+ avatars, 10+ PS brush sets, 10+ vectors.)
