I'm redesigning UC Davis RSS site again. I spent a bunch of time making the current design for the site, and it's not holding up. The next one aims to have fewer sections, and is completely dropping the “news” section, and on the whole look cleaner. I saw a blog about the advantages of borderless design, so I'm attempting to apply those kinds of techniques.
The visual “theme” of the new site is a paper theme, with a lovely drop shadow and creme colored interior. I'm looking at my own page and noticing some striking similarities...we'll just have to let that slide for now.
