Chilligavva - Selected for Notable Submission

Design selected for CSS Mania

My earlier web site design [yes the black and pink one, see picture above] was selected by CSS Import a web design showcase site.  I did not make it to the hall of fame, just yet, but did make it to the notable submissions category for June 2007.

Duly inspired, and rejuvenated with this kind of recognition, I again dug deep into my cultural background and came up with the current design.  I call this ‘Cheera’ which is Telugu for "Saree", the traditional garb of Indian women.

The header and footer have a traditional woven temple border (the triangles) motif.  I also played around with the layout of Flickr Photos , and came up with the impressive photo header. 

 I especially like the play of the speech bubbles across the site, as well as those of the circular bullets and the stylish ‘chilligavva’ in telugu in the footer.
