New layout!

After nearly 4 years, this blog has a new look!

The theme took a little longer to finish but we finally updated the design to this blog. There were so many considerations when it comes to redesigning, we are trying to make this blog as accessible as possible.

We designed the overall layout first before jumping into coding the theme. First, we made two different designs on Figma. The first iteration was a design that mimics the Tumblr dashboard layout and the second one is the modern layout we designed for the other version.

After so many considerations, we decided to choose the first iteration because people are more familiar with how the Tumblr dashboard look (and thought that the experimental design one is not for everyone).

After designing the mockup for the main theme, it's time to design how the navigation look. This one was tricky because we tried to make the design as accessible and clear as possible.

System UIcons by Corey Ginnivan

A library consisting of 🔥 420 🔥 minimal and elegant icons. Created by Corey Ginnivan, each icon is available to use as a SVG free of attribution. Whilst you can download them individually and paste the SVG code(s) into your site, it could be a hassle if you want to use multiple. I wrote a script that matches each icon name displayed on the list to their corresponding SVG, so all you have to do is type in the icon's name and it will appear — essentially, it functions as an icon font.

[THEME 30] Papercrush

My first time submitting something to the theme garden, haha. This theme experiments with neumorphism - a modern response to the skeuomorphic UI styles of the 2000s, when designers tended to make elements look realistic and not just like flat objects on a screen. By nature this is a very low-key, low-contrast sort of style, which in my experience has a soothing effect - but a "flat mode" does exist too, with the drop shadows replaced by borders, for those who prefer the 2010s look.

Layout-wise, this was inspired by and named after Peter Vidani's Papercut theme, the first I ever used on Tumblr. I thought the single column look and cute post info "bubbles" had aged well and wanted to create a more up-to-date version that supported NPF posts.
