Description
shinybinary.comAfter many months of hard designing, coding, writing and slacking off playing pointless Flash games, version 2 is finally here. It's a fairly radical change in style from version 1, and I know some people will miss the nature orientated look that has come to be associated with this site. However change is nearly always a good thing, and I am happy with the direction I have taken things in.
--------------------
That's the general blurb, now a bit extra for you DA people. I actually layed down the first psd for version 2 almost 11 months ago, so as you can guess there has been an extraordinairy amount of slacking since then. Take a look at the first design concept which never made it past infancy:

what was I thinking?
and a close up of the header for some details:

A lot more effort has been put into this one in terms of code. I managed to do it all with compliant HTML and CSS and without a single table in site! IE and Firefox are recommended but I have made sure it works in Safari as well for all our Mac friends.
and to all those people who wanted more flowers and frogs and shit, tough!
Anyway I hope you enjoy it.

Exactly, I've learned a lot about web design in the last few years, and the overly complex navigation of V1 always annoyed me. Clean and to the point is where I wanted to go for V2, I just couldn't resist sticking a great big header in

wow, you have come a long way in 11 months!
Good job, i really like the new version. The old version was also great, but it took my 5 minuites to find out how to access the rest of the site
This is very nice and simple (what employers or commissioners look for ).

It's all Photoshop, no 3D programs used.
