New Layout
Posted on 09 Mar '23 filed under Disclosure, New, Revamp
After years of inactivity and creative stagnation, I am pleased to unveil a new theme for my update log. The design process took two days to complete, with the majority of time devoted to refining the CSS and ensuring consistent formatting. My goal was to create a layout that is both simple and highly legible.
With the arrival of Spring, I felt inspired to introduce a more colorful, pastel aesthetic, incorporating a wider range of shades than in previous versions. The previous theme, built on WordPress, was overly complex and required repeated troubleshooting to achieve a personalized appearance, which proved to be a persistent source of frustration, though it served well for over a year.
In developing this new design, I paid particular attention to font selection, recognizing that the typeface, size, and color profoundly influence the overall feel of a layout. For the background, rather than relying on a simple pattern or texture as before, I explored botanical line art with organic shapes. This approach harmonized with the clean simplicity of the design, as only minor adjustments to lighting and color were necessary.
Overall, I am delighted with the final result. The layout’s simplicity is refreshing, and I anticipate that this theme will remain in place for the foreseeable future.
