Design phase of lewro’s blog 3.0
March 14, 2008 [1:32 pm]I have been collecting information for my new blog for couple of months. The last month I spent creating wire frames, grids and design proposals for each page in Photoshop. After 65 hours of working in single Photoshop file the goal has been achieved. I am not sure it was the best idea to keep the design of all pages in a single file because my 2gigs memory was surly not enough in the final phase. I am also not sure if 65 hours are to much or not enough. I have spent quite a few hours designing icons, in same cases even 3 hours per icon. But I am happy I have done it. I am happy with the result and hope you will like it too.
Development
The next phase is going to be development. The biggest part is obviously CSS where I am confident enough. There should be no problems in this department. I am going to implement quite a few DOM scripting as well. I have done some of it before and small part is going to be new for me but I am sure I can find the sources to learn from. PHP and HTML is mostly going to come from this version but there are going to be major tweaks in terms of reusability of code and semantic improvements.
How much time do you guys usually spend designing your blog? Do you keep all the pages in a single file? What tools do you use?
