Designing The Graveyard Book website
This is the second in an ongoing series of posts where I explain some of the decisions I made while designing one of my recent projects. This post is going to be focusing on the site I did for Neil Gaiman’s new book - The Graveyard Book.
Bill from Subterranean Press emailed me all of the artwork and asked me to create a site, so I had a lot of freedom with the design. One of the advantages of working with a client who you’ve done work for before is that they already know your style and what to expect. To say that I was excited to work on this project would be an understatement.
Initially I wanted to go with a completely dark site as I thought it would fit the theme of the book. However, this posed a problem because the interior illustrations are all in black and white. I decided to go with a dark sidebar to keep a darker look, and the main content area white so that I could utilize the illustrations.
