The plan, as I see it, is to redesign every few weeks until every last person I know calls me on the phone and yells at me. I'm getting close to fulfilling it. This is the third redesign in as many months. I gotta say, for not being a "designer," I sure to seem to enjoy it sometimes.
This design (which I've dubbed "bonsai") is based on a photo I took recently at the BBG. In fact, almost all of my recent designs have been based on photos. I guess that's where most of my inspiration comes from.
You'll note, if you've been a good little visitor, that this design melds a little of the textured background design from a while back with the newer layout of the previous design ("commie" as it was called). What can I say—I like to iterate.
In all honesty, I really liked the previous design (which is why the layout stayed), but I felt like it was time for a lighter design for the summer and once I took that photo of the bonsai tree I knew I had to redesign.
