Realigned
November 17, 2007
My website had been bothering me the past several weeks. It wasn’t rushed together, but it lacked refinement. I noticed more and more parts to improve. I began putting together entirely new interface compositions. I would be happy with one, sit on it a few days, show it to my wife, and realize it wasn’t quite what I was looking for. I did that a time or two.
The other day I recalled reading an article on A List Apart by Cameron Moll: “Good Designers Redesign, Great Designers Realign.” So, wondering if there was a way to redeem my current design — to realign it — I set out to do just that. You are now seeing the result of my curiosity and effort. Below are screenshots of before and after:
Notable additions include larger typeset for titles, and a self-portrait in the sidebar, which adds a really nice color balance to the screen. I’ve also spent a considerable amount of time editing and writing new copy on my about page, and I’ve added links to some work examples.
