Version 4

“Work and play they’re never okay
To mix the way we do”

So I’ve decided to redesign again. There wasn’t a whole lot of time between versions and 3 and 4, but I thought it was time anyway. I’ve decided to emphasize the blog a bit more, and separate out the work section a little bit. I wanted to simplify my portfolio and separate out my favorite work. I’ll try to keep it updated with more recent work as I finish it.

One thing I was a little hesitant on, but I think has worked for the better, is a little font mixing. I’m using Helvetica Neue for titles, and Lucida Grande for the main body text. I was using strictly Helvetica or Helvetica Neue, but I actually think this works better for readability. I know it can be a bit of a faux pa, but sometimes you gotta break the rules to make everything work.

The biggest design decision is the moving from a white to a black background. If you ever read the Google debate about how much energy they’d save by switching to a black background… well I guess you can thank me for decreasing your energy bill. And remember, the more often you visit pixelspread, over other blogs with white backgrounds, the more money you save!

Finally, I’ve structure the comments more than ever before, and added a live preview, so you can see what you’re doing before you post.
