Black on white

N.B. – a lot has changed since this post was originally published. This site has been redesigned and now uses TextPattern for content management.

Things are beginning to shape up. The index template + style sheet actually create more-or-less what I am expecting. I am again drawn to the idea of all black type with few embellishments or extraneous color. How many web pages today look like that? It does provide a clean canvas onto which photos and other graphics can really shine.

And I call myself a “designer”?

E Luxo So

A second entry is submitted herewith for the purpose of checking the spacing/padding between entries in MT. Considerable typography refinement is ahead of me.

E Luxo So, means “it is only luxury” in Portuguese, and is the title of a phenomenal Brazilian song, recently covered by Rosa Passos. It is the title of a great album by the difficult-to-describe band, Labradford.
