I got my first commission since opening Flamora a few weeks ago. The guy said he wanted the layout to be like my The Machine vector, so I thought it would be fairly simple. I assumed all I would have to do is rearrange a few points in the original PSD and then code it.

Wrong.

Before you know it I'm trying to figure out how to add Oprah and Margaret Thatcher to the design and I'm redoing the whole right side because it wasn't 3D.

This is why I haven't been as active lately. I spent my days staring at this thing, about to pull my hair out. There are a lot of things I would change about the final product, but they're all things he wanted.

At least now I know I have to put my foot down a bit or charge more.

I like the rollovers and stuff :)
On 1024x768 it adds a horizontal scroll bar. And on the rounded corners, it kind of makes like a square. Let me show you what I mean...



And the background doesn't look so seemless on larger monitors but it looks good, and it's better then plain. me likey. Even though it is one of your plainer, and darker layouts. And im not so sure im digging the purple.
