Changing Themes

without comments

I’m a big fan of clutter-free UI design. That’s what first attracted me to Writeroom and eventually Scrivener (where the full-screen feature is much better designed).

When it comes to blog themes, I find myself drawn to the less-cluttered approach. I intentionally kept the last theme (shown here) simple. But even that seemed too busy. So courtesy of Plaintxt.org we go over to Simpla.

One of these days, I’ll just sit down and write my own. But then again, it’s likely to be running on my own blogging engine. ;-)

Layer Tennis

without comments

Layer TennisHere’s a quickie.

The premise: every Friday afternoon two designers go up against each other. They volley Photoshop files back and forth in fifteen minute intervals, each trying to outdo one another and create new visual layers. You can attend live or wait and zip through the finished ten volleys.

The result: Layer Tennis. So worth it.
