Because apparently it never occurs to me to finish my chores when I get bored. D’oh.
I put a new design on my site today. Decided to take a simple DIY Wordpress Theme (created by the girl who did the bluebird blog template I was using before) and customize it a bit. The Firebug Firefox add-on made playing around with the basic edits I did really simple, but I still ended up killing a few hours going back and forth on a few different designs. I love the colors and the header image and the overall simplicity of the look. I also love that it sort of reminds me of Christmas (the orbs in the header sort of look like ornaments to me) but then it also reminds me of nesting and spring, so this design might stick around for a while. Weeee…
Alex thinks I’m crazy for spending hours doing crap like that. I guess it looks like work to him. Doesn’t feel like it to me. It’s oddly fun.
Oh, and while I’m talking about fun little projects, I just have to share the Photoshop job I did for the “overview webinar” at work that incorporates our new logo:
I found a stock image of a magnifying glass and cut out the glass part of it into a new image. I took our logo and spherized it and inserted it as a layer into the original magnifying glass. Then, I brought back in the glass of the magnifying glass as a new layer that I made less opaque. I think it looks awesome for a 10 minute Photoshop (much better than most of the graphics on our site 
). Well, actually, I wish that I’d spherized the logo more. Ah well. I wish I could find more excuses to do fun little projects like that at work instead of stupid boring managerial stuff.
