Spring 2011 Redesign

April 13, 2011

While watching Scott Pilgrim vs The World I gave this site a face-lift based on the colours of Ethan Schoonover's Solarized colour scheme. Such a beautifully done project, I think I'll be using the colours for a while!

I had originally used the amazing Raleway Thin font for the headings, but changed it after a week or so as it just wasn't rendering well enough on non-Macs! Today I swapped it out for Terminal Dosis Light from Google web fonts. It's not perfect, but it's more readable on Linux machines than Raleway Thin.

I'm pleased with the face-lift — the old site was looking dated and a bit crap — especially considering how quickly it was done.

Maybe now I'll actually update the blog inbetween redesigns…
