About Contrast News
This site was inspired by reading a large number of political blogs, some of which are listed in the side bar.
Originally known as Contrasts, the initial design came about as a result of a coffe-break conversation which later became part of a project in a web design course I was attending.
The current incarnation has a fully integrated blog - ie. the Blogger page has been restyled to closely match this site and include the tabbed menu, header and side-bar you see here.
The web site has three additional sections so far:
- News, which takes an article from the news and illustrates it without comment.
- Pictures, a section for illustrations and animations using a variety of software.
- Page 3, a commentary on the political editorials published by The Sun newspaper.
The Sun editorial is often awful and sometimes appears on Page 3 as purportedly spoken by the pin-up models. More on this can be found at Bloggerheads
Really this is just my excuse to look at porn without upsetting the important females in my life ...
