This was a fun project for a local friend. The point was to poke fun at bad design and maybe make a few ene­mies in the process. I think it worked.

The site was designed to be kitschy and obnox­ious, which I think we accom­plished, but it was also sup­posed to be sim­ple. No move­ment (that isn’t an ad) and no crazy plu­g­ins that do crazy things… Just a site where you can go and get a laugh at the expense of oth­ers. The header was made in the GIMP, which is one of my favorite image edi­tors (I can hear other design­ers snick­er­ing). In actu­al­ity, I really dig this site for looks. The con­tent is a mat­ter of per­sonal taste. Sev­eral of the sites fea­tured have been re-designed, so I guess it’s working…

The orig­i­nal theme is called Japan Style. It was a decent theme, but I really only wanted the paper images from it. The CSS is dif­fer­ent as well as the header and behavior.

OMFG This Sucks!
