Bring print style to the web
The editors at The Rag, an edgy electronic publication, definitely didn't want their website to melt in with some of the other cheesy web designs out there, and with Adobe® Muse™ software, it doesn't.
Designer Krissy Marheine did an excellent job of bringing the look and feel of print to the web with paper texture backgrounds and handwritten/typewriter style fonts. While the home page design serves its purpose well in feeling rough and organic, it also takes advantage of more technical features, such as a slide show that showcases the first issue and a link to purchase. Arbitrary HTML is also used effectively to include social networking and advertising links.
