@Bryan – I think it’s great that you approach your designs with an “I want it to look this way” attitude, yet allow yourself to be deviated from that. Many times, I feel like I have come upon a good design by tweaking things till they feel right, even if it isn’t what originally I had wanted.

Keep up the good work bro and I can’t wait to see what you come up with in the future!

(Feel free to connect this to my last one if this seems spammy.)

Hah, I pressed post before I was able to write a decent reply to the post. I really appreciate the write-up and it’s interesting to see what about my style draws different people in. To be honest, I’ve been trying my hardest to try completely different things. Avalonstar being one of them.

This isn’t what I had planned on Revyver Labs looking like from the beginning. It was supposed to be red and bold and such. But then I thought to myself, if it’s going to be a Revyver site, then why am I deviating from the style I love so much anyway? So I just played around with the sky until I was happy with it and took the rest of the time to lay things out much the same way I did on the main site.

Whew, long winded already. Anyway, thanks again. I hope I’ll be able to keep on wow-ing you in the future. :)

Alistair: Haha, I knew I’d find somebody that would stretch their browsers out that far. I had a background image saved just for that, but I didn’t think anybody would really call me out on it.

Now I’ll be working on getting that pattern to stretch out to 1920. :X

@Tor Thanks so much for the heads up about the ZoomBox error. It should now be fixed and working in Opera 9.5 OSX.

He clearly has talent, however I feel he could have made a better effort to repeat the background image here

for resolutions over 1680.

The spacey theme over at the design in question though is lush and against the grain.

I really like Bryans work too, it has good detailing, just as your design here, Rogie. You can easily tell if a design got the extra 10% of details.

Btw. your Zoombox is kinda buggy in Opera 9.5 in OS X.

@Brendan – I call it ‘ZoomBox’ – a jQuery variation of FancyZoom coded by yours truly.

Labs.Revyver.com is hotness! I’m a sucker for dark themes, and Bryan’s been rolling them out left and right the last few months.

Speaking of rollouts — liking the Junglized lightbox — haven’t seen that before.

Pretty nice site there. Only problem I could think of is that if someone has a small resolution, they wouldn’t get much content “before the fold”. But who has tiny resolutions today, large monitors are so cheap.

The highlight images are indeed very nice, they work really well with the site.

Awesome job Bryan.
