I accept smashing magazine web design challenge

The other day i’m browsing smashing magazine for search something else and i stumbled this challenge; “Write a blog post justifying the design approach you took to one of your websites. Then, encourage other Web designers to provide feedback and ask questions.” So i accept this challenge, A while ago i designed one page web page for a single page design contest, called TSYR3. Well in this challenge i redesing that page and examine some of the various components. So shall we begin..

Thats my ex-simple page desing.You can see new desing end of the article

Grid

I’m not using any grid sample in this desing. But if we look at visually, looks like there is 8 column grid system. To be honest i do not know, nothing much about grid system.

Layout

A design with a fixed position. There is a header, have a letter to greet visitors. There is a footer desing of buildings in a small city. There is a 3 x 2 size area where presented designed logos and left there is my twitter updates.  And the top of footer, there is a section for about the designers and contact form.

Color

For the background i use a mixture of brown and black grunge design. Other object has own color, for example; facebook, twitter and friendfeed bottons has own blue color. You can see the color palette used in the above.

Typography

I used “Ubuntu, Merienda One and Myriad Pro” fonts you can download from “Google Web Font”.

Imagery

There is no picture in my design, but i use my character in this design. This is a logo designer portfolio so what else can we expect? : )

Styling

This design didn’t appear to be simple, but believe me this is a simple design. I leave you to interpret this subject.

That’s my new single page design

So thats all i got. Let’s hear what you say : )
