    America on the Couch

    Here’s a new WordPress site I’m developing for America on the Couch. I think this is a good example of how it is possible to fully customize a theme (in this case, Weaver) beyond the usual banner and simple style changes. David O’Donaghue did the original Uncle Sam and Freud illustration. Alan asked me to hand color it and create a banner. Taking elements from the banner, I continued the design into the main part of the page (background textures, drop cap) to create the dimensionality that Alan and Janet were looking for. I also really love the public domain images that are scattered throughout the site.

    This book (in progress) by Alan Strachan with Janet Coster promises to be very thought-provoking. You may want to join the mailing list to stay informed of it’s publication date.
