Media Virgins Style Redesign
Media Virgins
I love the new style of Media Virgins, the home of first year at Tipperay Institute, for several reasons. Its design is simple yet not boring. People often say dark grey is the new black, but the dark grey I think adds elegance and professionalism to this new design.
Probably my favourite piece of this design is the sidebar with alternating shades of grey, that make it eay to stand out. This was also one of the most tasking pieces as I had to fiddle around with WordPress for a bit to get it to work properly. The footer also is a nice piece. I was never that much of a fan of content in footers but once I finished it I was surprised at how well it fit in with the sites flow.
This one is quite a different project than ones I usually work on. I administer this blog, and so I had the creative room to do what I wanted and I am pretty pleased. I had the chance to brand this design over several social networks to add conformity and continuity to the site. I had done several other designs beforehand (4 to be prescice), yet I was never happy with how they had turned out. Im pretty sure that this one will last for a bit and I hope people enjoy it. There is still several kinks to work out so if anyone see’s any, please comment below.
