Giving a shoutout to my boy, jbarks, one of the snappiest designers I know who appreciates the clean, simple and minimal layout. He’s launched Common, that is in his own words, “an online repository of things i find”.
It’s got a beautiful layout, with nice big pictures and snappy words. Everything the communications geek in me loves.

Well, if you’ve stepped back in here after an absence (much like I have), you’ll notice that the blog looks different. In fact, it looks exactly like my personal blog, harmless? bananas!
Here’s the thinking behind it:
I’m not a design guru in any sort of way, and I couldn’t seem to find a theme that fitted the personality behind the content. I found the R755 Lite theme quite perfect for what I wanted to achieve on the personal blog, in terms of layout, minimalism, navigation and content management and decided that I would apply those same ethos’ to this blog.
I think it works. I feel more at ease posting content knowing how it’s going to end up, and controlling a small bunch of things that I have the capacity to.
This also means there will be a downsizing of what I originally wanted to achieve with a blogzine, with beautiful and seamless content management, perfect design that really gave an air of taking a publishing craft seriously. Alas, not today my friends. I just do not have the means and capacity to fulfill those roles today.
So one thing at a time, let me offer you daily content that makes sense first, and maybe one day, it will grow into the platform I envisioned it to be. In the meantime, do stick around if you like what I deliver on a daily basis, thing’s that could make your day just a tad better.
