This was a Wordpress theme template I created for a client. The goal was to create something unique with natural elements, nothing too rigid or web 2.0. I decided on an airy grunge style combined with damask texturing in the background. Something textured but feels light to the touch.
While the textured style may be grungy, I didn’t want to make it too dirty or dark. So I opted for brighter colors, creating a visual style of paint strokes on top of the blog structure. The icons were also custom created to give it a more relaxed and stylish appearance.
Wordpress is definitely one of my favorite platforms to design on, everything is easily customizable and the plugins are endless. Best of all, almost any visual design can be implemented as long as it fit the blog structure. Certainly makes it more fun to design for.
