The project and challenge

Blog design for the WordPress community

This was a project that I challenged myself with in order to learn more about WordPress and design. The challenge was to create a unique WordPress theme for the community. This project was also a means of marketing my skill and getting my name out there.

The solution and results

A unique design is created

I created a clean and simple design with an emphasis on its strong color theme. After releasing the theme to the public I saw many downloads and received a lot of comments about the design. In the end, it seems to be very successful in achieving the goals I laid out for myself.

The project and challenge

A blog design to increase awareness

Northeastern University's Library came to me seeking to create a blog design that was bold, casual, clean, and professional in order to increase the awareness of the library's resources. The library found that expensive resources were not utlizied as much as they could be simply due to lack of awareness that they existed. The blog is part of their strategy to change that.

The solution and results

A unique design is created

In order to reach a greater audience, the design uses colors that are not often seen in most library's designs. This kept the design fresh and bold, which allowed it to communicate with a wider audience. The blog is still in development so there are no results to speak of yet, but the blog is receiving a lot of attention.

In the process of looking to give back to the community, I came across Mass Appeal International who asked me to create a website design for them that incorporated a blog with a content management system.

Minimalistic blog design

Lucid Gravity came to me with a challenge of creating a blog design for the wordpress engine with a very minimalistic, clean, and simple design. Lucid Gravity is a personal blog for Louis Do so one of the requirements that it was to look professional yet be casual in its design.

The solution and results

A minimalistic look is obtained

In order to create a minimalistic look, I avoided adding anything that did not support the purpose of the blog. By rigidly following this rule, I was able to create a very light design that was minimalistic, clean, and simple yet at the same time appealing to the eye without distracting it.
