Layout Influences

Who knocks on the front door?

CSS Integration

Typography

This site tends to mix together a few too many typefaces. Have you ever seen one of those books that lists several diverse typefaces on a single page? The diversity in letterforms reminds me of a windy, overcast afternoon on the coast of Lake Superior. Harmony and control do not rule the day, but I still succumb to its ravenous expectations.

Malbeck (original)
The primary branded typeface.
Avenir
Used in the site’s sectional headers.

Publication

This site is hosted by the venerable Media Temple of Los Angeles, California. It runs atop an install of Apache utilizing PHP and Wordpress 1.6 with mySQL.

Copyleft Information

Copyleft means that you can use for your own purposes what you find on this website. In doing so, however, you must keep that material free for other people to use. Hypothetically, one could copy this site’s layout exactly (and even keep the name) so long as they keep that site’s layout open to the public. I want to encourage the percolation of new ideas. Sometimes imitation is an important part of the learning process.
