Mythological Victim is the first Site I created for the Web. I had pretty much given up on it, as it has received little interest, deciding instead to merge the material (along with another blog) into one mythology blog.
However, I really can’t let go of this one. The subject was why I started using the internet in the first place, and next to Web Design it is the only thing I really enjoy working on. And, really, I’m not entirely bothered if it’s a success or not, given the subject matter, I don’t really expect a smash hit or anything, it’s a personal passion.
I’ve worked on it almost solidly over the past week, and have pushed myself to come up with a quality design. Unlike a lot of creative types, I’m not a perfectionist, and as a result, my designs tend to suffer. The same can be said for this design, although I have spent more time working on graphical elements than I have on anything I’ve made in recent months, i’m happy with the results, concidering I’m a bit out of practice.
I’ve gone for a single column fluid layout this time around. I didn’t plan the layout, I just dived right in, and down the line I ran into a few problems, and so the CSS is a bit messy in places. One thing I’ve learned is the need to spend more time working with forms. I’ve been trying to cut down on the number of divisions used, but I think this has caused my overall markup, esp the css, to suffer. In the future, I’ll plan a sensible template structure, rather than trying to cut down on code.
I pixeled a favicon image, and quite liked the design, so I whipped out the pen tool, and turned it into a logo 
. I’ll most likely make a few modifications some time soon. I’m not sure about one or two things, so I’ll just see how it goes. I’ll leave things as they are for now though. Problems tend to pop up when I least expect them while surfing my sites. So far, it seems like I’ve got everything covered, although there’s usually something I’ve missed.
