I’ll be adding these to my portfolio very soon, but I thought I’d mention a few designs I’ve done recently. First off I just finished a new one for tumbl.us. The style is the same, I just thought it needed a refresh. Here are the rest that I’ve done in the past few months: Fbook.us, Picboost, Tweetgift, Creative Capital Springfield, Eunice Williams, Old Deerfield Productions, Headcase, and Apophony. Almost all of those are finished, a few are at about 90%.

I love the tumbl.us theme. It looks so neat and really sophisticated. The only thing missing in my mind is a few change of color when you hover over links and pictures. I recently did the re-design of my site too but i am having too many problems with rounded corners

Thanks Mirza. What issues are you having with rounded corners? If it’s something specific, maybe I can offer up a tip.

Well the rounded corners look alright when the screen is maximized. However since I am using three different colors in my background, if someone minimizes the screen to a smaller resolution and scrolls down to the bottom, they can see the yellow borders of the rounded corner even though the background color is grey

@Mirza you could try using transparent PNGs

I didn’t want to use a transparent because it would not work in IE6 but since i really need to i’ll just display the bugged gif for IE6 and display the png for other modern browsers.
Thanks

The new tumbl.us looks great! How do you set custom icons for the different types of posts (text, image, video, etc) in your tumblr theme? I’ve been working on my own custom theme for some time and haven’t successfully been able to get a different icon for each post type.
