A redesign process, step 1

I am in the process of redesigning an as-of-yet unnamed project (the samples are posted below). The elements are slowly coming together (and I have to say, I'm pretty happy to be able to take my time on this one, it's a big improvement from the speed-of-light redesigns I've pulled off before). Colors are up in the air still, the entire font set is debatable, but you know what? I love having time to explore.

The look: modern, fun, lighthearted, engaging. Perfect font choice? Aki Lines (see numbered font in below post). It's just a small piece of the puzzle, and will be for only a few elements here and there, but I am happy to have Aki on board. In doing some digging (ok, more of a scraping the surface) I saw that Aki was designed in the 1970s. In all its retro glory, it will be mine.

Sneak a peek!




Got a secret project going on right now, and wanted to show a few tidbits. Completely out of context, here are a few screen shots, a la dribbble. Man, do I want an invite for that site. Sigh!
