When Soaked changed
their name to 40ft
Ringo, they changed their image as well. So the web
site needed a complete redesign too. After seeing my personal website,
the band decided they wanted a site with the same kind of comic
book feel, attitude, and sense of humor.
They're
just as serious as ever about making it big, so the site had
to be taken seriously, without taking itself too seriously. The
band was quite pleased with the results.

The pages within hold a definite consistency, while
adding enough randomly drawn contents to give each page some variety.
The most noticeable are the illustrations on the left of the page.
Unless the image is extremely relevant to the information on the
page, as when on any band member's personal page, the illustration
is drawn from a ever growing pool of images.
While
creating the illustrations, I was given free reign over the comments
the band members were saying/thinking. This worked out great,
showing that the band can make fun of themselves.

One of the biggest challenges in coding this site was making the outline
of the information seem so simple. The outline expands and contracts
vertically as the information demands it to, while keeping the
bottom-left tail of the outline in line with the box part. The
effect is completed by having the line begin from behind whatever
illustration is there. So no matter how long or short the copy,
the entire page looks like it was tailored to be a perfect fit.
