I’ve finally pushed Troy’s site live. I pulled together a lot of difference 3d textures I used to get the right color and feel he was looking for. Lots of wood, stone and concrete went into the finally comp, along with a bit of grunge, graffitt and paint drips. I created a hand-drawn font for the navigation, and did a bit of custom grunging work on his photographs for the backgrounds (awesome photo work, half the work is already done with good material to work with).
The guestbook has since gone crazy – this guy has a legion of fans from all over the world. Too bad designers don’t attract fans… I could use some minions.
