Using Organic Textures For Natural Separation
Monday, November 17th, 2008
Grass and earth seems to be a texture or theme that is widely spread across website designs on the web. Especially this kind, where it is cut in for a view from the side. It gives a good separation between the header and body in a natural way. The sky above and then grass which sits in dark soil. It all flows and is naturally separated by the color.
This is off the topic but I had to note it, this website has a very large footer. I have not seen any this tall before. I guess if you have a lot to say you do what you can and in this case the footer talks about Tyrant, what it is and how it came about.
“Ideally, Tyrant runs (via mongrel) on a development server with multiple user directories that contain SVN working directories with Rails applications. Upon startup, these applications are listed in a user’s dashboard and Tyrant provides the interface to start and stop each one. The configuration settings dictate the available port range, and as a new application is started it will grab the next one available.”
Then in the next section some more development tools and plugins and finally at the bottom you have the company slogan with a picture of a dead rat’s head or something, I still have not been able to figure out what that is.
