I've
only recently inherited (literally) a library of pre-war annuals,
magazines and books
from which these images have been sourced.
I've
used a retro style for my web-building assistance site, "website
rescue". The site contains a huge amount of information
but had to be designed in a linear, book-like way to be easily printable
for offline reference. The Art Nouveau look was used to give it
a bit more personality than your average text-book.
I
am currently building a comprehensive site using this style for
an executive recruitment firm in Perth, Western Australia. This
should be available for public view in the near future.
My
principles of simple site design can be seen in a variety of other
styles, too. My first interest was in medieval graphics, and I've
built a free graphics site to share medieval material. I also use
medieval images to build
contemporary commercial sites.
My
main entertainment sites have modern 3-D graphics, photographs and
scans, and I've built a wide range of other sites in a similar modern
alternative style (usually with a black background).
I
also make very simple business
sites with a modern slightly quirky edge (usually with a white
background).
