Scene missing

Temporary placeholder text while updating aesthetics:

What do you think of the look? There are a few problems/issues, though:

One. Not many people have the font Futura. This website is designed to be viewed in Futura.

Two. I'm ripping people off. Apologies to BK.

Three. I'm thinking of changing the name of the site: Barbara and me. Apologies to T [or should I actually be asking permission? May I?]. I have permission.

Four. It's not finished. It's not exactly how I want it to look. It's almost there, but I need to do some reading on CSS.

Thoughts?

It's about beauty!

I'm thinking Futura is a difficult font to read for the text. Unfortunately, it is quite a task to find a suitable font that will complement Futura. Garamond was always ugly on screen. Times New Roman is absolutely atrocious. These serifs never translate easily into pixels. Nobody has Univers.

I remembered that there are a few Futura-alikes, so I have included them in the style sheet, so you can get a gist of the site. I can't believe I'm saying this, but, use a Mac, they have Futura installed with the operating system! I'll test it out on a PC tomorrow.

Yay for typography nerdiness!

Futura is great!!!
And love the colours, ripping people off is all good, who's to say they were the originators of such design anyway? hehehehe.

I'll get to showing you where I got the look from.

You will see that I certainly am not the originator, and that I am borrowing heavily from the originator.

I don't know, I could go to everyone's computer and install Futura.

Megalomaniac.

I do acknowledge.

Argh!

I just loaded this website on a Windows computer, and it looks all wrong!

Sorry, if you're viewing this website incorrectly. I didn't mean for this to happen.

I wholeheartedly apologise for ugliness.
