Mick Redman: clean

Simple layout #6

In this layout I've tried to gain a clean look using green. I've also tried to use an image to separate the navigation from the content and provide a footer with the same graphic. Normally, I would have used a different font for the header. Still, you can take it apart and supply your own elements.

See demo.
