Shiny stupid

Trying to design this blog (this blog), but of course, I suck.

Grungy? Glossy? Ornate?

I'm demoing Desktoptopia and it has some ornate inspirations, like this or this. That vein is a lot like the backgrounds available for Pownce. Oh, that's also the main Threadless aesthetic, of course. Maybe it's too faddish.

Personally I like the grungy and ornate styles, and the two designs from Deviant Art were my favs.

They are certainly cool! I think they're also beyond my skill level though. I did have the idea maybe I could use some generative process to make a grungy ornate infographic, but I'd have to figure that out too.

That could work! I did improve it into a v2 just this weekend, using a static blotch I got from iStockphoto. When I can think about what I might want to generate then that could be cool.
