As Good As

I’ve been working on a new design for The Geekorium. I’m constantly revising and trying to get it looking right, and I’ve previously made my own themes, but I’ve never been particularly happy with them. The problem with creating a design for yourself is it’s far easier to distil the essence of someone else into a few key elements based on what you perceive as their strong and sellable points, but far more difficult to do it to yourself. So the themes I’ve created have not really been “me”.

Well I’m trying again.

I’m happy about where this one is going. I’m still in the design stage, so it’s probably going to change a lot, but I’m proud of the work so far and I thought I’d share the direction I’m going with it and ask for some feedback. Normally my feedback process on my personal site design is to ask my wife, but I want to widen my base and get an idea from some of the people who read it. I realise I’m not giving you much to go on, but I’d love some off-the-top-of-your-head thoughts.

A sneaky peak

So what do you think?

    The one thing I love about your website is how simple yet elegant it is.

    The sneak peak looks brilliant, but I won’t know whether I like it until you finish and implement it. While I’ll express my opinion, know I’m absolutely jealous because I lack the skills to do this as well.

    I love the new look, it looks great. I especially love the header and search bar. I’ll wait to explain how much I love it until you finish it and put it up!

    We’ve already talked about this, and I still adore it. Very “Oooh I feel like I’m reading a comic.. And I love it!”. Good job Broseph.

    Looks very nice. I like it, the bright, bold colours, the use of fonts (is that Lobster I see?). I’m looking forward to seeing the completed version. :)

    Thank you Monnie! I’ve always loved your site designs, so I’m really happy you like it!

    Well I’m jealous of your wit and style, so it all evens out in the end.

    Thank you! But don’t wait, tell me how awesome I am nooowwww.

    Thanks Cazbutt. You input has been invaluable so far!

    Hmmm, me thinks Lobster might be at risk of becoming the Comic Sans of the internet if it’s so recognisable. Might have to rethink it :P

    Thanks for the encouragement!

    gorgeous attention to detail amongst type nerds. :) I don’t know if your
    average punter would notice it.

    Style? Flair? That’s how you became the Nanny.
