This project was hard to wrap my head around at first. I knew that we were doing a blog but it was hard for me to understand what all we were going to be tackling in this assignment. It was fun looking through all the wordpress themes and blogs that I usually surf on the web, and looking at them as inspiration and taking little elements out of each blog to incorporate in my own design was a lot of fun. I think the strengths I have in this design are more hidden then the weaknesses. It’s not that i believe that I have more weaknesses then strengths but that my weaknesses are a lot more apparent and noticeable. First of all, i really need to redesign my “recently added posts” segment in the single post page. It looks amature and unfinished. I thought that the typeface I used for the post titles was also a weakness that I had. it looked good to me at first, but after working with it for a while I decided that i wanted to change it. It doesnt match the rest of the design as far as cohesiveness goes. Another weakness that I see on my design is the post a comment part. To me it looks unfinished and lacking in detail. I need to figure out a way how I can treat multiple comments and comments on comments.
As far as strengths go, I feel that, besides one typeface, it is all very cohesive. The whole design flows from page to page and it is really easy to understand. It is a very simple design and a photography based site. I was very pleased with the way that i treated and handled the photos i chose as they represented the post. I don’t think i need to learn anything in order to make my design better, the only thing that I can do to truly improve in this design is just to spend more time on it. There are a lot of things that i wasnt happy with in the end that i can improve with just more time.
