Keep It Simple, Stupid
As someone who subscribes to the "kiss" principle, I chose a template that kept it the most simple. I find that overly designed styles tend to be more confusing and hard to follow. Although there is not much on the blog now, I intend to keep the design subtle. In my opinion, simple designs never seem to age.
After sampling a handful of themes, Emporio spoke to me the most. The elegance comes from the rounded font against a solid white background. Text is easy to read with nice contrast and the font evokes a smoothness that I particularly sought after.
Though this is my choice now, I am sure my tastes will change once my blog grows. I am always open to new ideas and willing to try new things. I am excited to see how my own, and other students' blogs and styles change with the semester.
Hey Austin! Gotta love the “kiss” principle - you follow it well by keeping it simple but not too simple that it isn’t aesthetically pleasing. I agree that simple/classic is totally timeless. Looks good!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your blog and the "kiss" principle, great choice and I love your reasoning.
ReplyDeleteHi, I really love how you choose something that it is plain and easy to understand. I think that it's a good idea to find something that you know and love.
