Comment: Once again the super-talented Mycah came up with a classic, beautiful and unique layout. There were different designs for the main site, media page, gallery & video archives but the Madame Figaro photoshoot was used for all of them. I simply love the elegant, fun & beautiful Marion here!

Layout #7

Comment: Natalie who had already designed the header of Layout #2 created this timeless layout with the first Lady Dior campaign pictures. I fell in love as soon as I saw it and somehow I never got tired of it. It stayed up for nearly 1.5 years. In my opinion it perfectly showed Marion’s French elegant style.

Layout #6

Design: Lie Awake Inc
Comment: When time was ready for a layout change I asked talented Lucile for one of her amazing designs. And wow! I was stunned when she presented me with the result. Despite being somewhat simplistic it was very eye catching. There were some prolems with display in Internet Explorer which I never fully managed to solve, though.

Layout #5

Design: Spike the Punch
Comment: I wanted a layout to celebrate Marion’s extraordinary win at this year’s Oscars. There were so many gorgeous pictures of her cherishing the statuette I was almost unable to decide on which to use. However, I picked a few and Laura selected the ones you can see for the layout.

Layout #4

Design: Purple Haze Inc.
Comment: I was relaunching the site on its own domain. For months I had been very busy working on the gallery and the filmography pages. So I wanted a professional looking design.Mycah was as fabulous as ever and created this simple yet elegant and timeless design. I was very happy with it.

Layout #3

Online: May 8 – August 23, 2007
Design: pre-made WordPress theme modified by myself
Comment: I knew I was going to expand the site from a little tribute page to a site on its own domain and full of in-depth information. To already make some kind of announcement about it – and because I had just fallen in love with WordPress – I chose this new layout. I loved that it had 3 rotating headers.

Layout #2

Online: March 29 – May 8, 2007
Design: pre-made Joomla theme with graphic by Elements Inc.
Comment: I was trying out a content management system called Joomla and decided to along with the little Marion Cotillard tribute page also host Anna Paquin and Emily Mortimer pages on the same system. I asked Natalie to design some gorgeous graphics to put into the premade Joomla theme.

Layout #1

Online: July 5, 2006 – March 29, 2007
Design: myself
Comment: I was very much in love with Marion Cotillard’s performance in Love Me If You Dare and had decided to set up a site or something for her. As soon as I looked up her resumee I realized that it’d take a long time to build a full website. So I decided to make only a small website. I bought a magazine with a photoshoot of her and when someone sent in outtakes of the shoot I decided to use that session as a theme for the layout. Very basic, indeed.
