Superficial Gallery Logo Design

Recently Acadia from SuperficialGallery asked me to do some custom jobs for his website, the first issue was the design. I have finished the logo yesterday and send it over to Acadia through Messenger for a preview and personally I think he fell of his chair, he did sound very enthusiastic about the logo! what do you think about it ?? personally I love the lips, they belong to one of the superficial gallery staff members, you have to find out on your own who’s they are!

Here it is and soon it can be seen on the SuperficialGallery website.

Design : Patterns for your Website

I have been looking all over the web for patterns, I was stunned by some websites, and very disappointed by others.
My idea was to make an top 10 but got stuck at 6, 2 of these share the first place because both have an large set of patterns and yet so different from each other!

SquidFingers
Squidfinger Patterns
Squidfingers offers 158 retro styled patterns (and counting)
DinPattern
DinPattern Pattern
DinPattern is probably the best resource for “modern” patterns, they look nice and new patterns are added on daily base

Project RetroLog: theme has been made

preview2.png

Tonight I didn’t feel like programming so I decided to work on the theme/layout for RetroLog.net, although the core is far from finished, I had just enough to run a local demo and prepare a design. now 4 hours later I think I’ve a final version for the theme.

I’ve chosen for a clean dark/black design with soft night-blue and some green to break the design. It doesn’t look very web 2.0-ish and no cool graphics to stare at, but I want to honor the name of the project and keep it minimalistic and retro like websites once looked like. lets say it has to be a little ugly to be beautiful.

If nothing goes wrong a first beta will be launched around the first week in april, website will start as an invitation only for the first month to debug the main part, after that registration will open to the masses and everyone can start using it. If you would like to be invited for the beta just leave a comment.
