His majesty’s new threads

So instead of doing all that on my to do list, last night until way past bedtime I did sketches for another long overdue redesign. It’s probably quite similar to what I’ve got cooking for eachman.com. Consider it practice.

Comments:

Handsome look… like the bold masthead, and simple red headers (it’s hard to say much else… as it’s so dang teeny!). Critique: I like the typeface used for GavinFriday — all except for the cross bar on the F. It’s too horizontal and doesn’t square (ha! a pun!) well with the off-axis feel of the other letters… also the kerning needs to be tightened between the F and the r… and lightened between the i and the d.

But who asked me, right?

Width matters

I ’shopped it at 1024×768 and that’s how I built it (well, 995px taking chrome into account). Then I got cold feet and brought it back to 800×600 (well, 768x… you get the picture). Now it looks like arse. Bugger.

Y’all gonna have to get bigger screens, 1024×768 it is.

Code all that

Here’s a preview of my long overdue redesign. All I can think about is ‘I’m going to have to code all that.’
