As you might know, I did the network magazine design for Syntagma Media, and they turned out nicely with increase of traffic, good vibes and all. Now I’ve officially started to work on the new Syntagma network template that will be rolled out all over the 50 or so blogs under the Syntagma banner.
John posted about it here, so I’m lifting the lid as well. The goal is to do something that fits for a wide range of types of blogs, matches the network templates, and looks good of course. I have a bunch of ideas as always.
In other news, I’m hoping to re-design my own blog in February. It’s way due since it isn’t ideal for what I want to do with it (always have big plans, good tip) nor for promoting my services as a designer and blogger.
Sounds exciting
However, about your own site.. what’s wrong with this? As you say on your frontpage… this is “just the international digital home of TDH, multi-creative monster and super secret monkey”.
In a two-barber town .. You don’t get a haircut from the one with the better haircut .. you go to the other guy
It’s the same with ..
Lawyers – they should never represent themselves …
Accountants – they never reconcile their own bank accounts ..
You need a super secret monkey in the background, then this design is complete. Yup. ;P
Of course a designer should have his own design. Altho this theme is pretty nice.
While I like your thoughts on a conceptual level, Hart, I think Michel have a point. I certainly need to show off my skills more.
Also, there’s some new kind of content in the pipeline, since I want to give something back to the Wordpress community, but it just doesn’t fit very well here.
