[Design] Flippy gots a blog

Hullo chaps.

So what do people think of www.delayered.com?

I did not make the template but it looked so close to what I was going to do anyway that I'm fine with just having made the few tweaks I have - mainly proportions and all the CSS plonking that entails, adding automatic borders to posted items, and changes to font size and spacing for readability.

And the logo. Whittled down from 550 typefaces to 6 fonts, then painstakingly kerned, tweaked, and anti-aliased by hand.

Does it all hold together well?

    I mean, it looks cool, but I think you'll find few of the PA:AC viewership will travel to your link unless there is art accompanying the link in your OP.

    I suppose that, being a website, it's not really about art per se but design, and it's hard to show site design in a static image. Nonetheless, I shall update the op to sate the baying masses.

    Yay! I actually really like the simplicity and stark contrast of red and black on white, the red of the date sort of hones you in on the topic. The image is just so simple, and the point well made with no excess. I like it!

    It may have been unintentional, but the black and white spaceman makes the image appear very matter of fact, and less of an opinion. Great work .

    I'd like to clarify that none of the artwork or media I'm linking to was mine, just by the by =) I was using it for testing purposes. But I will happily accept your assessment of the blog itself. Thanks!

    Hah. Don't I look like a putz. I should have assumed from the Lorum Ipsum that it was placeholder
