Your cardigans site look very good, daniel.. a stina nordenstam site like the one you made for them would be the best one ever made, even by the cqd team. Simple, basic, but very flashy the same time. Keep up that good work.. adn 1st of april, Daniel.. was that a joke? :wink:

You all forget Kuhn's site. I don't think there's so much need of Stina sites being the infos about her so rare.

Ah ... many questions and comments.

whatis: Yes, that does explain it.

pgss: Thank you for the offer. If I need the help I surely will ask you. Ah, the font ... such mystery. Can you wait until april? I'm really glad you like that picture. I'm hoping you're looking forward to seeing more. There is no need of letting the mistery remain, however you do it there will always be mistery with SN. And besides it's always fun to create some too...

paulr:Thank you. I also think that basic but gorgeous is the way to go with a Stina Nordenstam site. Not information as much as exploration ... and interpretation of her art in a website format ... a tool for everyone to discover new facets of her music and go deeper into it, with images and design integrated with the text ... a great image speaks very louly and I think that is missing with SN websites, even the official. I want great design. That is my goal. That's why I did the Cardigans site to begin with... all the others were messy and cluttered with information all over the place ... rinse out the surplus and leave the bare necessities.

And the date, April 1st ... isn't that the greatest date ever?

puce Really? I have a lot of stuff that I think is missing from the internet. As I said it's not about the info ... it's about exploration and interpretation.

Hmmm ... after much hesitation I've decided to be a bit mean and reveal a little "teaser", if you will, of what I have been working on ...

I'm sure I will post more before the site is finally unleashed ...

Oh and hurry to see it 'cause this picture will be changed for another in a couple of days ...

Cool.I have some stuff you may be interested in,Daniel.
Suggestions-get some of Stina's HANDWRITING in there-beautiful...
and as many interviews as you can turn up.There's some talented translators hereabouts.Three or four French ones never translated into English,at least one Swedish one never into english.Her interviews are fascinating,I find.

I'm working on quite a lot of written stuff ... of course I have to get clearance from those who have translated them before I use them on my site.

If you have anything you think would be useful in the website just send it to me and you will be dutifully thanked and credited on the site, this gioes for everyone.

My e-mail is: daniel_marvelhill@hotmail.com

Thanks.

Ok Ok ... I got a little carried away ...
I give you this a couple of weeks in advance.

Does it look official enough for the "official people" you think?
I'm a big fan of the TWIS logo ... it took forever to pixelate the font.

nice. and very subtile the art u used on the background. Only don't get 'living is great' what do you mean with it in the Stina Nordenstam context ?
It looks very professional. So not to worry about what the recordcompanies and even ms Nordenstam would think of it: they would love it. [crazy]
