After researching successful blog designs for my current brief, 'Speaking from experience', I thought it was about time that I re-did my blog to make it more attractive, and also easier to use. This is the design I have been using since September. It is quite boring and there is nothing about who I am as a designer reflected in it.
This is the new design, which looks much better in my opinion, and makes it easier to navigate around the different pages. I have introduced a new page, called 'things I like', which is a bit like an online notebook for me to record inspiring images and websites which may not be relevant to any current project. I have recently been experimenting with creating my own business cards, and so I think there should be a link between the design of my blog and these business cards.
This is my final blog design, bringing in one of my favourite business card designs, but with the colours altered to match my blog. I tried this logo with and without the line used in the business card, but think it looks better without it. I am much happier with my blog after this re-design and feel it is a lot more personal, sophisticated and easier to use now with the new link scheme. However, I think there will probably still be many blog re-designs to come over time!
