Blog Redesign - thespiritofcliffhangers
So my wonderful sister, gem that she is, let me go crazy and re-design her blog because she saw my post about my coding obsession that has currently hit. Her interests are steampunk and dragons and she likes metals and golds.
This is a before shot of her blog zoomed out to 75%. Please notice how ugly it is.
This is an after shot of her blog also zoomed out to 75%. Please notice how much less ugly it is.
I altered her blog going off a Tumblr Official theme because those side-by-side grid posts have always drove me crazy every time I had to check her blog. I went through about half an hour of trying out backgrounds before deciding on a map esque background with some steampunk vibes.
The header itself is a transparent dragon since, you know, dragons, and the header text is a sort of quote from Optimus Prime because she likes transformers.
@thespiritofcliffhangers I was tempted to replace the word ‘Megatron’ with ‘Trump,’ but figured ‘Evil’ would work just as well.
Here’s a zoomed in view of the webpage above the fold. I’m not totally happy with the text color in contrast with the background, but the text shadow helped.
I also changed the post wrapper to better match, but, again, I’m not fully happy with the readability levels.
Overall, though, it was fun to play around on and the sister has approved with a, “Snazzy.” so my coding urges are sated.
For now.
