Discovery Channel v.01

In the layout portion of DMA500 (web-design) we had to create a mockup for two different and established brands. One was required to be a big background website and the other could be if we liked. I decided Discovery Channel deserved a new (innovative?) look with a big background. I was thinking more futuristic in theme because that's the direction of exploration. My very first time watching the channel in the mid 90's played a part; the first two shows I ever watched on the channel were about futuristic homes and futuristic RVs.
