Layout Structure

• Non-transparent iframe inside a container div
• Iframe div absolutely positioned over a background image
• Image map navigation

New Techniques

• Going against current design trends with a white/navy color scheme
• Using words as decoration rather than images
• Clearly delineated box for content
• Solid color for iframe background (no transparency)
• Using an image map for navigation

Trivia

• I decided to go very simple with this layout since I didn't know much about creating web graphics.
• I wrote the poetry at the bottom left of the background image.
• This design got a lot of positive comments from visitors, because it was so different and so legible.
• One could say that version 9 and version 12 of withinmyworld.org are inspired by this layout.
