Process :
So basically I had this idea a while back, I tried to pull it off with the first Near and Light layout but that turned out horrible because there were no images that could be used that far in this series. This time, I made it really clean cut and simple. I am in my “simplicity” stage right now, so this seemed pretty plausible. The news site itself was going to be on wordpress so I needed everything to have only CSS and be in simple lists. It turned out really well this way since everything was clean and aligned properly. I really liked the look it had. The hardest part of the layout was the CSS since I had to define the paragraph and break tags to make sure that the text would always fall on the lines. It was really easy this way. Wordpress by the way, is really easy, so coding this all up properly was really simple.

Description :
A little notebook piece of paper thing with the idea of a little case file, hence the images and post-it notes strewn about in the header and footer.
