I originally had a different design for Lauren's old site, but we both agreed that she needed something
different. Lauren has always struck me as someone who was born in the wrong time period. Her personality
seemed better suited to the retro styles from the 50s and 60s, so that's what I gave her.
In order to bring in a more personalized feeling, I used a picture that Lauren gave me to build out
a shadow image of lower Manhattan. Not all the buildings are true to their original structures, but the
effect at the top of her website is stunning.
Another important part of Lauren's design was the sidebar on the left that is the home for her mobile picture
blog. I used some simple HTML to create an individual box around each picture post and the effect
is quite unique.
