Hi,

I have a client (a media company) that is requesting a XHTML and CSS design to showcase their showreel portfolio. They are looking at a 50's retro/vintage style site, based around a drive-in movie theatre, obviously all text, images, video to be contained inside the screen, i personally think this would be quite restrictive and am just open to other ideas in the melting pot!! The 50's retro/vintage vibe i can nail down, have done it a few times before successfully, just thinking of another way to show their showreel/site without the drive-in theme ??

advice,tips greatly appreciated !!

this has been done before as a css zen garden submission

css Zen Garden: The Beauty in CSS Design

use that as the guideline on how to do it

That one from the Zen Garden doesn't work in IE6, by the way (there's an alternate presentation). I'd use a JavaScript slideshow type thing that gracefully degrades, of course.

This is an idea that is really tacky, but if executed properly could work.
