New site design, code name “Rosewood 1.0″

Sep 16th, 2009
by Andrew Ross.

I just finished some subtle modifications to my site design, which I have named “Rosewood 1.0″ after the new wood grained background image. This wood grain design was inspired by some new speakers that I bought recently. I really love the grain and colour of these rosewood speakers, and thought it would add some richness and depth to the background of my web site as well.

On top that background image I placed a black layer with opacity of about 70 per cent to make text more legible and to isolate the images from the background, while still allowing some of the wood grain to show though. I also made some behind the scenes changes to the image galleries and altered the design a bit. They now run on SlideShowPro with ThumbGrid.

I’m really happy with the new look, and I hope everything is working all right. If any visitors discover any problems with the site, or have any feedback on the design, please feel free to contact me.

    Hi! My name is Andrew Ross and I am a photographer in Toronto who specializes in shooting interiors and food. This blog is more informal than the rest of my site, and follows both my personal and professional life. The content here may range from recent jobs and marketing materials, to personal projects or some of my favorite obsessions like coffee (I roast my own beans at home), single-malt scotch, or music (I still listen to vinyl records). Thanks very much for visiting and I hope this blog gives everyone a sense of who I am, and what I am all about.
