Kim Jong-il

Kim Jong-Il was born in Khabarovsk on Feb. 16, 1941, where his father Kim Il-Sung was a captain of a battalion made up of Korean and Chinese exiles, part of the 88th Brigade of the Soviet Army. However, in the North Korean version of his birth, Kim Jong-Il was born in a secret anti-Japanese guerilla camp of the People’s Revolutionary Army on Paekdusan (Mt. Paekdu, sacred in Korean mythology) on Feb. 16, 1942, the year of his father’s 30th birthday. A double rainbow appeared that day over the mountain, according to the legend, along with other astounding meteorological and natural occurrences.

“I am the object of criticism around the world. But I think that since I am being discussed, then I am on the right track.”

Layout Breakdown

The original inspiration for this was from this poster design for Futura. You don't see many web pages where things are positioned at an angle so I really wanted to try it out. The trick I used for this was only adding the transform: rotate until the end as it was pretty hard to get things to fit on screen. Originally I shelved this design but it got a good response so decided to publish it. I just wish I could so more with the mobile and tablet layouts.
