Another New Design

If I’m honest with myself, I feel a little empty right now. I’ve just pushed my latest redesign live to my blog, and now all thats left is to write.

I become so involved in working on a design that I think of little else, and I am constantly living and breathing that design. With this design, although the actual work only took a matter of a week, I’ve been working on a redesign for about the last 2 or 3 months. Almost immediately since I sent the last design live, knowing that it was never going to last, I have been sketching, and thinking, and gathering inspiration for what I was hoping would be my best work.

In the end, there are probably little details that need adjustment — in fact, I’m already aware of one, on the archive, the comment count is inaccurate — but by and large, I am done with blog design for a while.

There isn’t really a whole lot to say about the design. It’s a blog, there aren’t a whole bunch of images, and its a pretty subdued colour palette. The only interesting decision that I made to to use a fixed header, at the bottom of the screen. There is no real reasoning behind this, other than I though it looked kind of cool at Line Break.

In a way, I’m glad that I have finally gotten a design that I am happy with. It will hopefully give me time to step away from the computer for a while, and focus on actually living.
