Red! is a template that was inspired by the design currently (Oct 2006 anyway) at 456bereastreet.com. I really liked their design, but I thought it was a bit cluttered and busy so I made a simple cut-down design that was similar in style. I think it came out looking pretty nice in the end.

Pristine is a clean, simple and functional template inspired by the "autonomous" design at OSWD.org. What I really liked about autonomous was its subtle use of dual colours to liven up what is otherwise a pretty drab page - I've included the simple use of colours and the over layout of the page, but made a few changes to the main content sections to make it a bit more appealing in my opinion.
