Just writing to show off some of the presentation layer css used in the grooveinteractive.com website. The website design is based on static design mock-up created in Adobe Illustrator. This design is now created on the grooveinteractive.com website by applying custom CSS to the XHTML mark-up created by a new Drupal 6.0 theme.

Groove Interactive LogoThe presentation layer started with exporting the groove interactive logo from Adobe Illustrator as a transparent png-24. You can see a preview of the logo. The light green background was then sized and placed underneath the image using css background color.

The shadows, promo image, and the lime green header extending across the entire width of the page were created using background images.
