I've been doing a fair amount of web design lately. I'm continually in awe of responsive layouts, and even though JQuery still confuses the heck out of me when it comes to programming/coding, I do appreciate the many JQuery apps out there that do all sorts of awesome things.

I'm slowly learning to transition away from image-heavy designs. They'll always have a soft spot in my heart, since I'm an artist by training and I'm not as good at graphic design, but I'd like to make more "practical" designs.

My current pet idea is to do a responsive, retro/vintage-esque-style layout with a focus on color, texture, and typography. It'll be multi-purpose, able to be used for a blog or service site (I've been mostly coding blog layouts thus far). And the coolest thing about it is that it'll come in two color schemes: "heaven" and "hell." (Since I love foreign languages, the two color schemes will be titled "Si proche du paradis" and "Si proche de l'enfer" respectively.)

Now the question is whether I can actually pull this off...
