    Posse.no - Entrophy - My own site

    Posted 14 years 8 months ago
    • Old stuff:

      I've got this habit of getting new ideas and completely redo my sites every once and a while. I "downgraded" from Somaxiom to Vertigo, because I love the parallax and felt that the rest would sort out with some easy tweaking.

      The old site was a Shape5 installation, later equipped with some RT stuff, then migrated to another RT installation, then I decided to manually format all of the articles and redo the whole thing.

      http://www.posse.no

      Ext:
      Akeeba pro
      Art Sexy Lightbox
      Chronoforms
      Norwegian language pack


      The idea is that the polaroids are memories that hangs there or are carried with the wind. The background is a grunge poster that I did for my football team.

      (I had a huge discussion with these aussies in the taxi last night, and I still think football is the sport where you can't use your hands)

    • Hey Posse, nice site. Very visually appealing. The search area is a bit undefined even with the text there, I'd think about lightly adding a rounded border in a blue-ish color to match the site and better define it.

      Also, the moving pictures are superb on the Home page, but get a bit over-stimulating on all the sub-pages. Might want to limit them, but then this is only my opinion. :)

      I know exactly what you mean about constantly "upgrading" a site due to new ideas. Problem is we get tired of it, whereas the visitors do not so much. :)

      Regards

    • Love your site! Was it much of a struggle to edit the paralax images?

      I agree with Jeff regarding the search area but I really like the clean, open feel of the site underneath the showcase.

      Australian Football is similar to Irish Football, so that tells most of the story. We also like the irony, that's why we call redheads, "Blue" :)

      Cheers

    • No, not at all. I just made new photoshop documents with the same dimensions, and blurred stuff out as it would give a sense of depth. Besides, I thing the grunge background did most of the trick :)

      I'm in Robina at the moment, thats not to far away from Brisbane! I hear they have this Gold Coast Titans around here, but I guess that would be men in tights wearing protection (american football).

      Ha, ha, no! We only play real football in Australia, in shorts and without all that sissy padding!

      You should go along and watch a game! How do you like living on the Gold Coast? Pretty awesome place, hey?

    • I live at Bond Uni now, just a humble dorm room :) I like it here, though I don`t see that much of the sun as I want to. I`ll head down to Melbourne for some tv production before I go home though, a little sightseeng is good!

    • Again I had to redo the site. I could probably just have shuffled some furniture around at home, but nooo, I had to reinvent my home page.

      Entrophy with sef404 and Akeeba, thats it. At least I changed the colors and some graphics.

    • Great use of entropy! I like the grunge look! Good job!

      one minor suggestion...
      the top bg image...(the blue and black one with your profile on it) maybe could use a size reduction... maybe a compressed jpeg?

      thats my only concern...its hard to find anything wrong with the site!

    • Looks great Posse! I love the blue & grey colours and the black line drawing effect in the top panel. You look very serious in this pic :)

      I liked your previous site too though :)

      Are you still in oz or home now?

    • Looks really nice :)

      "Jeg har (straks) en bachelor i medieproduksjon fra HiG" <- Maybe you should add a link to HiG or explain what it is. It would be nice to know what the "medieproduksjon" course was about as well. Media production doesn't say much IMHO 8)
