Yesterday a lot of small changes were made to the design, or what’s done so far. I needed a way to integrate the header with the rest of the layout without butchering either one too much.
My original idea, was to create a fading border around the columns, similar to what you can find in the 9rules homepage. For example, look at the border around the 9rules notes which appears in the topleft corner and fades out very quickly. I wanted a similar effect, something that would explain how the information is aggregated without butchering the rest of the design.
After a lot of tweaking, what I came up with was this:

 The site will have 3 columns, like it currently does, but only the right column will be limited, and only for a shortwhile. Even though there will be no border separating the two right columns, the visual aid will help in indicating the separation between them. But if it doesn’t seem enough, I might just extend it a bit more.
The other tweaks I did were mainly on the hawk’s head, I slightly changed the color and made it a bit stronger. Now I need to balance out the colors, and bring the site’s secondary color, orange, to balance things out.
