About a year ago, I did the design of a new site called Perfume Posse. The girls behind the project, Patty and March, LOVE perfume and all things girly and have really turned their passion into a blog, popular with perfume fans everywhere. Back then – we did it in a very sweet pink and white, feminine theme with a retro flare. This time around.. they wanted something a little more edgy…

Imagery used in the new Perfume Posse redesign was originally created by talented illustrator and artist, Rion Vernon of PinUpToons.com. Rion is a highly regarded artist whose credits include film, animation, and interactive projects with DreamWorks, Nickelodeon and Paramount Productions. Happily, Rion provided us with his direct consent to use the two sexy girls you find in the artwork on this design – Patti and March couldn’t have been more thrilled! I, of course, always like working with Rion’s artwork.. I’ve purchased a few signed prints of my own, I just adore his work.

The design features a 3 column CSS layout, with the bulk of the space given to their content and blog posts. They run a group blog with 3-4 authors – - Patti and March are the main authors of the site, but even on a perfume/cosmetics site, they have 2 guys who occassionally post on their site, as well. Each author has their own fun icon that shows in the posts they write, so their readers – upon first glance of the site, know exactly who wrote each post without too much of a search – They make for a fun way to add a bit of personality to each post on their site.:

They really wanted to turn up the steam with this redesign and bring a little sexy back – and I think we’ve accomplished just that with this new design featuring Rion Vernon’s work, along with the black and red color scheme. They’re going to be rolling out a new kinky perfume campaign in the near future, so if that sparks your interest – keep your eyes peeled.

Thanks to Patty and March for chosing to work with me, once again, on this design project – I really had a great time with it!
