After three revisions of version 4 for justinshattuck.com, Elena of DesignDisease and myself finally discovered the design that would finally replace version 3. After fooling with shades of pink with charcoal, pink with teal and finally blue with black, version 4 was born.
The overall site design maintains my original feel, plenty of information within a click or so reach, however, Elena really spruced it up with a more than user-friendly navigational panel and some really nice advertisement locations. Because Elena did such a wonderful job, despite our not meeting the deadline for the contest I was hosting to find a new design; she is still the big winner!
I even up the prize pool for her. She gets the whopp’n 8GB iPod Nano instead of a 4GB. I hope she’s excited, I know I am.
The individual pages are still under construction and may continue to be so until I get everything exactly the way I want it. I’ve been tweaking with the page templates and preparing various plugins to release with the version 3, 2 and 1 themes of justinshattuck.com.
I’m hoping to get some glorious feedback about the new site design, so let me know what you think! I will definitely appreciate it. Not to mention, all feedback is wonderful, its how we can make better sites!

4Dude…
gorgeous. Lot’s of excellent details.
Way to go Elena. Is it a completely custom theme or is it built off of something?

6On one of my blog’s comments, a user provoked me to create new forms based on a dark-colored background. Justin has given me this opportunity, thus allowing me to demonstrate my ability of creating designs on any type of colors. Now it’s my turn to challenge you towards creating design on one of your favorite colors.
Just name one.

10@Jason:
Sorry mate, you won’t find this theme anywhere for download. However, you could always hire a designer to create something for you custom.

12@Tigerblade: I was sent the link as you provided from a good buddy Shane over the weekend, I was surprised to see my site listed. Especially so high on the list — if list priority matters; to me it does :)
Thanks for the comment!
