Marginal Design

The next time you design a website, or Art Direct one, do not forget to include the margins of the 'page'. Screen resolutions vary widely, no matter your target audience. I always design for a larger screen size, while making it work for the baseline of 1024 px x 768 px. See the image, this file is 1600 x 1550 px.

As you can see, the margins are designed. The design and content remain centered on the screen even at the smallest screen size. To reduce the load on the page, the large background image of water ripples can be used as highly compressed jpegs. Abstract and biomorphic shapes are better to compress that representative patterns. See the basic effect here: http://www.adagencycreative.com this site is still in development, to be live soon.. If you have any questions, please email me.
