In with the new shiny blog layout! I've had the same layout for this blog from the very first post, so I was long overdue for a change to a less amateur-looking blog. I hope you'll enjoy this cleaner look (yay, sans serifs) and larger photo size (perhaps a little TOO large in some of the single vertical shots... oops). Once again, as both design and code are involved, I have J to thank for all of this brilliance. Can you believe he friggin' DREW the header? In Illustrator? With the pen tool? And he's never used the pen tool ever before that? I guess some of just have it in our blood. I won't even show you the hideous thing I was resorting to use as my header before this one... The pen tool and I don't get along very much at all.
ETA: Please do not view this in Internet Explorer. It looks like crap.
Loving the font and layout... majorly impressed with J's header - wow!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful, Alice! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, Alice! Love the new look.

ReplyDeleteGood job, both of you!
looks great grams :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love your new blog layout so muchhhh!
ReplyDeleteAnd the header kicks you know what!
lol @ the IE disclaimer. Cross-platform compatibility is a total bitch. One that I prefer not to deal with, either...
ReplyDeleteAnd the new blog looks GREAT!!! Funny you mentioned the sigh of relief over sans serifs because I was just feeling like my blog could benefit from a switch to serif! Guess the grass will always bee greener on the other side...
And oh man I'm so excited to see your photos in a larger format!
Props to J for his expertise.
Love the new layout and the new header hand-drawn goodness!

ReplyDeleteLove it Alice! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! You and J did an amazing job. =)

ReplyDeleteYour new blog design looks great! And wow, I can't believe that the header was drawn with the pen tool. I'm pretty familiar with illustrator but am not so great with drawing in it, let alone hand lettering.
ReplyDeleteWait, what? Jimmy did that with a pen tool? I need to hire him. You two are going to make super talented artsy babies, I just know it :p
ReplyDeletethe new layout is beautiful & I love the header

the header is gorgeous and the new look is much more spacious. Although, I do miss the yellow, that was a nice touch. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the new title - what a great job he did with the drawing of it!
