Another try!

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

After my first attempt making a new theme I decided to start over. This one turned out cute (with an illustration from michelleness) as well but not as childish as the other one. However, I can really feel that I’ve been away from coding and designing for too long! WordPress has developed a lot since I made my last theme. I think it will take some time for me to catch up! But, I have really enjoyed experimenting with codes again. I love the process more than the final results. Perhaps that’s why I’m never really satisfied with anything…

Designing for a 12-year old?

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Let me tell you a secret. The image above shows my latest design (it’s not complete though) *shivers* for Infektia. At first I thought it was so lovely and cute. I even used brown colors! But then I suddenly realized that woah, doesn’t it look a little bit childish? I think I’ve designed a WordPress theme for my inner 12-year old. I mean, I like cute stuff and cute layouts, but this seems a bit too much in the wrong direction. Disney-ish sort of.

I think I’ll have to start over ;). Perhaps go for a minimalistic and modern toutch.  But I’ve had fun experimenting with it. I tend to do that a lot, sometimes I never even finish it, and start over, and over, and over. That and the lack of inspiration is the reason that I haven’t made a WordPress theme in ages.
