Refresh, relaunch, recycle, rediscover, reinforcements!


Refresh, relaunch, recycle, rediscover, or whatever else you may call it. I call this Reinforcements.

It’s been a very long time since I’ve last blogged and I wanted to give this blogging thing a try again. This time, I will make more of an effort to post more frequently with more random things! I also figured that now and in the near future I will have more things to share that will allow me to blog more often than before. Annnnndddd what’s a better way to start this new blogging rhythm off than with a new design!

But before we talk about the new design, here are a few screenshots to show you the evolution of phuson.com over the years (2004-Present to be exact):

Version 1.0

Version 2.0

And then version 3.0!

For this new version, I wanted to start fresh from a blank slate and therefore you will not see any past posts before this one. Of course, if you are curious, past blog posts can still be viewed by clicking on the version 2.0 screenshot above.

It took me a couple of days this past weekend to catch the urge and come up with the design for this new version. Simplicity and spotlighting the main content are my two goals for this new design. I also attempted to recycle and reuse as many graphic elements as I could from past versions, such as the 3D rendering of robot characters, and the new-ish logo (drawn by Allison). Even my old old logo (that can be seen on version 1.0) is making a cameo in the new design. Especially since I will be posting a lot more pictures I take regularly on here, I want the content to be the main focus of your attention.

Oh and by the way, I have not tested this site on any Internet Explorer versions at all and probably won’t for a while (not until I’m on my Windows machine again).

As always, any comments or feedback are welcome! :)
