How's it going? I’m Danny and I believe that design directly affects the way we see the world. Follow me on any of the networks below to get to know me better!

Yay! New design for the new year. Well, honestly, I decided to hold off on moving to ExpressionEngine until they release the 2.0 upgrade. In the mean time I released a tumblr version of my new design!
In the Future?
Look forward to a special Christmas present from me to the tumblr community for all the fun you guys have allowed me to experience over the past year I’ve been on tumblr.
About the Redesign
I think the pic provides a pretty straightforward explanation. But I would encourage you to take a look at the site and mess around with the posts. Let me know if there are any bugs, though (Unless it’s on anything other than the latest Safari 3. I don’t even have the slightest idea of what this looks like in Firefox or IE… not that I have a problem with Firefox but I just don’t use it).
My original intention with EE was to do something similar to Jason Santa Maria’s site. So far that seems to be working but I want to wait for the update. Now, tumblr is a little limited in this regard but changing the layout will only require some quick class changes thanks to the blueprint framework. This also means that it maintains a vertical rhythm that ironically is pointless because I don’t want to have to change each image’s height to match the grid… It’s cool, still looks good.
FONTS! Oh oh oh! The design looks best if you have Gotham installed. I’ll be working on a sIFR alternative soon. In the mean time I have a little something for browsers that support CSS2. If you don’t have Gotham or CSS2 technology it degrades to Helvetica Neue Light (on the post meta), then Helvetica, then Arial and then generic sans-serif. Other than that there’s some serif on post bodies.
The paragraph’s that follow the first in an order are indented. I’m still not sure I really like this, especially with small sentences followed by images… looks a little weird.
In Closing
Please let me know what you think. I decided not to go with disqus comments so reblog or just a “like” would suffice! I’ll be making updates as time goes by.
