DC Simpson's New Site Design

[Muninn]

Apart from the loss of the previous logo i like it. David said he wasn't going for a comic effect which he thought the old one had and i agree. The strip has matured and this compliments it. And the picture in the creator page looks better.<br><br>There's also links to here and Caigan's site at the bottom of the main page, if anyone's missed them.

I'm hoping the bugs will be minimal.<br><br>And it doesn't yet apply to the entire site--some sections, most notably the archives, are not yet done. That'll be the last thing to switch, probably. But most of the site is done--please be patient, at least for a few days.<br><br>Do take a look, also, at some of the links below. The list is much more comprehensive, and arranged much more coherently.<br><br>You know, every time I redesign the page I get a lot of complaints. So, I am prepared.<br><br>But I like this design. The old one was too loud, too distracting, too, well, cartoonish. There were of course parts I liked very much, but one has to look at the whole.<br><br>This design is simpler, more elegant, more organic. It fits both the look and the philosophy of the strip much better.<br><br>It's like the Ozy and Millie white album, if you will.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table> <!--QuoteEEnd-->

OK... now all I have to say is "Meh".

[Zaaphod]

You know, I'm going to second that "meh." I don't care for the plain white background. Too bright for me.<br>

[norsenerd]

I miss all the artwork. But I guess Mr. Simpson was trying to cut down on that :-(

[Sabre]

The coolest thing is that he used his own handwriting for the links to the<br> different sections. <br><br>I think thats nifty.

[Muninn]

Notice that Ozy and Millie is predominantly white whereas I Drew This is predominantly black. The yin and yang perhaps?

[spamfish]

I don't believe that black and white drawings on the background would detract from the comic at all. Okay, maybe if it's tiled, but I think the page could use some 1930's decorative swirls(ref. speech cards in a silent film) or some mature design that frames the site well. I agree that the use of handwriting on the links works well. Some pencil or ink marks along the sides of the page would accent the site nicely.

That would be good.
