Desde hace un buen rato que tengo muchas ganas de rediseñar este blog. El tiempo es el único que me juega una mala pasada, las ideas siempre están en mi cabeza. El tiempo, y otra cosa mas, no les voy a mentir: el diseño anterior fue tan exitoso que me dá un poco de miedo tirar todo abajo y empezar de cero. Pero hay que hacerlo; hay que seguir experimentando; hay que seguir demostrando el movimiento.
A couple of weeks ago, Smashing Magazine, one of those sites that you honestly need to check out at least once a day, announced a typographic design contest to the community.
It took me almost a week to simplify this design (see the previous discussion) and test it: I never thought that releasing a Wordpress theme could be so difficult and time consuming.
Modern Clix, inspired by Charly García’s “Clics Modernos”
So here it is. Modern Clix is a minimal blog theme inspired in the Swiss Style of Design: It sports the trusty Arial/Helvetica pair, an ingenous grid, a generous use of whitespace for better readability and a strong focus in typography.
Download it here (146 KB). Or view a live demo in a real Wordpress installation.
Creating this theme was certainly stressful, but most of all it was real fun, so I’m planning to release more Wordpress themes in the near future. Keeping a balance between aside projects and the daily work is a goal for me in this 2009!
Thanks to Marina Torchiari for all the hard work on beta testing this theme!
