Blueprint V.2
Posted on 17 Nov '23 filed under Blueprint, New, Revamp
After several years and multiple name changes, the second version of the layout archive has been officially launched under a new name. The previous title felt lackluster and did not fully convey the purpose or scope of the site.
In line with our ongoing project revamp, Cerine and I have committed to refining and improving our work, ensuring that older designs remain dynamic rather than stagnant. With this latest release, I undertook the extensive task of uploading and integrating all archived layouts that had not yet been added to the database over the past two years.
The process was considerable: most layouts were re-screencapped at higher resolutions, and thumbnails were recreated for consistency. File names were also standardized, replacing a previously disorganized system that made navigation difficult. Additionally, I meticulously verified original upload dates using records from TFL, TAFL, and our own network update logs.
I am greatly relieved to have completed this extensive project. The result is Blueprint, a refreshed and fully organized layout archive that reflects our commitment to quality, accessibility, and long-term preservation.
