Autumn Redesign | Blog 1

I've recently started to work on a redesign of my existing website. A few years ago, I made the switch from a white portfolio site to a dark site. I've had my current site for a little over a year and now I'm contemplating switching it back to a lighter theme.

The main reason for this is for extra readability of the text on some of the longer blog posts. I do love the dark style, especially for viewing images and my portfolio, but I feel it is hindering the blog which has become more of a focus for me.

Take a look at joeallam.co.uk to see the existing design and check out the attached full-res mockup. This is very much a work in progress, and for the moment I am only experimenting with swatches, but I will try and update here with further developments in the design as I advance.

Take a look at the blog post about the Red Bull Air Race featured this mockup and why not follow me on Twitter.
