After two and a half years, Dave Shea has redesigned Mezzoblue and launched his site back into the lime light.
A few quick points of interest of the redesign:
- Its sporting a 1024px based design, up from the more traditional 800px design
- The familiar blue colour of Mezzoblue is gone
- Posts are organised into collections, where a collection is just a bunch of posts revolving around some arbitrary period of time.
- The designs colours are adaptive and change based on a photo which represents the time period. As an example, Dave has assigned a photo of the Madrid Airport to the time period between 1 July and 30 September. All posts during that time period will carry that photo as their imagery and the theme of the site will reflect the colours within the photo.
I really like the new design, its good to see that Dave has changed it up. The familiar blue which has adorned Mezzoblue for so long was nice but it was about time to move onto something a little different to freshen it up. The navigation around the site is simple and the typeface is easy to read. I would personally prefer a slightly larger sized font but the size that it currently uses certainly achieves a particular look and feel.
