Some Summer Changes
Had I waited 3 more months, a complete year of fighting the urge to redesign would have been fulfilled but apparently I failed to hold off that long.
With lack of time being the foremost reason for not redesigning, the decision was made to stay away from any changes so that I can keep one single look for the site as long as possible and maintain a sense of personal brand. This same principle explains why I’ve gone more than a year not adjusting my avatar to something new despite having more options to choose from.
When you visit my site, with time I want for you to already establish a vision of what it looks like even way before you’ve typed in the URL and to accomplish a task like that, the objective is not to deviate too much from what people are use to seeing. I can’t take credit for this thought. It was heavily inspired by Shawn Blanc.
Not Showing Everything
Aesthetically, weblogs can become complicated very quickly so I attempt to always keep it as clean as possible and not be obligated to include links that I want you to click on. If you’re interested in what you see, you’ll come across them on your own and not because I fed them to you.
In the last couple of months, I like to think that my content has become more photography based and when the opportunity comes to share photographs, the objective is for them to take center stage and not be distracted by any other embellishment that I may have considered added spice to the design.
I kept with the dark tones for the overall feel of the site because visually it draws me in more to the content. I wouldn’t go on the record to say that it’s officially complete because there’s always enhancements that I sprinkle on surreptitiously when I feel inspired by other sites I come across.
Until then, this is it.
