thirtyonethree :: Launch of a new theme

October 23, 2006

My work

I am excited to finally launch a new theme/look to this web­site. I was inspired this sum­mer by Exo­dus 31:3. Beza­lel was a craft­man who was filled with the Holy Spirit to make “artis­tic designs” in the build­ing of the Taber­na­cle. Craft­man is the word I would use to describe myself. And I hope that as I do my job, I am trust­ing in God and liv­ing out the Spirit-filled life as I work on designs or work out Web solu­tions for the many sites that I main­tain and evolve.

The color scheme comes Natalie Jost’s PantoneFall06 scheme from Col­orSchemer. It was inspired from Pantone’s Fall Color report. I have not used much neu­tral col­ors in my designs so I thought I would branch out a bit.

The photo is of Thorn­crown Chapel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It is one of my favorite pieces of archi­tec­ture. It is a thing of beauty and a awe­some sacred space. I love the cathre­drals of Europe and Thorn­crown cap­tures the feel in a smaller scale.

I have been work­ing on this design off and on since July. I finally worked out some of the bugs with CSS and launched it this morn­ing. I still have some ideas I want to explore but now I have a work­ing start­ing point. A big rea­son I have this website/blog is to explore and play around.
