New layout in progress

Site    11 Comments »

Hey!! As I had mentioned before I wanted to change the header and revamp some things. I eliminated the area called “Free Stuff” and instead added those things to: Resourceful Links. I will search for more stuff to add there too. I’m going to give away an old layout of Final Stop, on the Free Layouts section. I have to make some time to do that as well.

Here is a small preview of the header I made today. Under it is the poll asking if you like it or not so I can start changing the CSS a bit! VOTE VOTE VOTE!

Do you like it?

Creativity

Hi! I just added 40+ icon textures today so go, look at them!. I also added some plugins and updated outdated ones. I’m also creating another variation of this theme. Hopefully it will look better.

Anyway, today I was wondering about what creativity really means to every person. Today, I’m talking design-wise. I’ve noticed a lot of people call simple designs “not creative enough”. Is creative a synonym of excessive? I think not. Some people can have busy designs that really don’t make a statement at all, others can have simple designs that are creative. To me, creativity goes hand in hand with uniqueness. Uniqueness is what makes people remember you (or your site). I have noticed I used to overdo designs because I thought it’d be more unique, now I try being simple but lovely at the same time. I still have much to improve but I’ve come to terms that quality is worth much more than quantity. Enough babbling, got to get bak to work!
