New Theme Design

With moving to the new server I thought I would take a leaf out of Paul’s book and change the theme for the site.  I have been using the current theme fluid blue since I started this blog in October 2006 so it probably long overdue for a change.  When making this decision there is one factor I did not count on – I am a very picky person.  After spending about an hour going through themes on the wordpress themes site I got sick of it and decided that I would be able to come up with something.

Now I don’t claim to be a designer, my hopes with this theme is to create something that I like and won’t make your eyes bleed if you stare at it too long.  The goals I had in mind when working on this was a clean, minimal design that incorporated curves, I wanted curves because the current theme is all straight lines and right angles.

Currently I have completed a mock-up which can be found at mlowen.com/mockup and is currently filled with dummy data from this site, if you have any feedback it would be appreciated.
