This is my first post on welshcrew.com/kevin v.3.0 and it feels fantastic. I can now start writing posts again - rather, I can’t keep using the excuse “I’m redesigning” to prevent me from posting.
It’s a shame because I haven’t written about the cool and uncool things that have been happening in my life. In the past, I’ve cheated and written posts after the fact. Well I’m taking on a new attitude for the blog which is reflective of my attitude towards life right now and that is keep moving forward.
I’m very proud of this new design. I’ve been working on Photoshop comps off and on for a few months. Yesterday, I was given the proper motivation (equal parts support from Devin and disrespect from a potential employer) and flushed this out in 24 hours. It also stands as a benchmark of my knowledge in both CSS/Web Standards and designing for the Web.
The weathered, worn look of it is definitely nothing unique or original. The design is a reflection of recent influences as well as current taste. I’ve been inspired over the past several months by some wonderful websites which I will name right here:
jasonsantamaria.com
whatdoiknow.org
gapersblock.com
zeldman.com
Finally, I want to thank Devin for her love and support and reminding me why my blog is cool.
