Colors of the Wind
Posted on 11 Dec '25 filed under Fanlisting, New
Owing to last month's domain transitions within our web cliques, as well as my increased focus on backend development, I decided to apply for another fanlisting subject, as I found myself missing the creative process of designing layouts.
This afternoon, I began developing a new design for Invidia for the first time in more than nine years. Earlier in the day, I spent some time browsing the Layout Archive to reacquaint myself with my previous work. In reviewing those earlier designs, I was reminded of how much I appreciate the simplicity of the one-page-layout format, and I would like to revive aspects of that approach when I relaunch the site. My intention is to prioritize simplicity and to incorporate elements that will demand less maintenance overtime.
- Pocahontas - A few days ago, I sat down with the PSD file open in Photoshop, attempting to produce something meaningful, but I simply could not make the composition work. I ultimately discarded the layout twice before redesigning a substantial portion of it, as I remained dissatisfied with its appearance. After reviewing numerous images in an effort to capture the concept I envisioned, I believe I have finally assembled the elements into a coherent whole.
