Here’s what I submitted to the UBC CS button design contest.
… and the buttons
Mine is #4 but it’s placed under #3 if you view the page in Firefox, because the HTML is messed up. Update: It’s fixed.
The website I made for UBC Printmedia Research Centre is finally up and running. Many printmaking elements were applied to the design. For example, the cursor on the menu is a widely-used printmaking tool called a “roulette”, the animations were made of student artwork, the background was created by combining a picture of a copper plate and a photoshop-imitation of a piece of textured fineart paper, and the photos in the banner on the top are things you can see in the cozy PRC hut.

The site is best viewed without linux because the flash plugin on linux does not support transparency.
