Notification of Intention to Redesign 11.10.08

That’s it, it’s decided: I’m going to redesign this thing, properly this time, actually using a bit of pen and paper first, maybe even some trial and error in Photoshop, perhaps also messing around with some tasty textures.

I’ve got my inspiration:

…and I’ve got a few doodles, some type selections and a spoonful of motivation, so it’s on!

What I like about what we have here now:

  • The overall grid, baseline, typographic tidiness, all thanks to the mighty Blueprint CSS
  • The overall simplicity of it
  • The nice clean code behind it and ease of updates through Textpattern
  • The lightning strike device

What I don’t like about what we have here now:

  • Black-on-red (homepage; what was I thinking?).
  • Different sections changing colour completely, catching you by surprise but not in a good way
  • That “crispy-clean…” message at the top. (Seemed good at the time)
  • Red-on-black (portfolio; another brain fart
  • Other general aesthetic stuff

Onward…
