I have done extensive experimentation, broken conventions and pushed boundaries. Originally, I was leaning towards the brighter coloured designs with the mustard yellow backgrounds. However, design five demonstrates the strongest elements of the blog look while taking on board the colourfulness of the mustard yellow series. It has a clean and fresh appearance, it's friendly and doesn't appear too 'childish'. But equally, the grey series did not convey the themes of Gracefest well, and as stated before, was better suited to a more mature audience. So taking these points into account, I have settled for the below design.
I particularly like the pink striped background, which draws it's colour from the mountainscape at the top. They add an edge to the site and bring a subtle buzz to the site.
This design will allow me to learn simple Flash, as I intend the banner embedded on the right to be produced in Flash. I would also like the header to be rendered in Flash.
