I Used To Like My Own Site Design

…but then I saw this:

ShaunInman.com is in its tenth incarnation; the third in a series of experiments using color and saturation to suggest the age (and arguably relative importance) of its content. Each day of the year is associated with a color. Winter begins with a blue which Spring changes to green. Summer fades to yellow and turns an orange-red by Autumn. As time passes, these colors begin to fade. Browse through the dated archives, you’ll get it.

Seasonal color changes. Nice.

    If you want to add to your hatred of your own site design you may want to take in these two presentations that I caught during SXSW:

    Typography on the web sucks Grids are good

    I think you’ll want to apply what these guys taught as soon as possible :-D I found it very inspiring — very reminiscent of my time in the Netherlands where the discipline of modernist poster design will never go out of style.
