How's this for a lovely color scheme then? It's supposed to be big and bold..

Nice :)

I hope it's CSS :)

If so, how did you do the gradient & circle in the background?

Is it just a big image?

It would be perfect if the circle peaked in the centre of the layout instead of being off to the right a little.

Currently it's in photoshop.. however, the final version will be CSS, with a semi transparent PNG background (and IE hack for alpha) for the gradient.

Why make it on Photoshop first? Planning?

I would find it easier to plan/design/create in CSS and use trial and error.

I reckon I could make something like that quicker in CSS then in Photoshop - lol, it takes about a minute for Photoshop to load!

I know approximately what I want, and that includes the gradient .. hence Photoshop. If I just wanted the boxes I'd have gone straight to HTML.

Pretty good. I don't know about the green though - I'd make it a little more blue and a little less yellow.

8O the green seems to be pushing the boundries of eye strain, I guess it depends on how much is exposed, but overall.. very nice.

Close. It's a "Web 2.0" (scriptaculous effects and AJAX) multi-user portrait gallery.
