nektros - Cynicism in a Hot DishSteering clear of the usual tradition established around these parts of introductory showcase paragraphs demanding no excessive attention be paid to them (though happily this has been somewhat compensated for with excessively long and punctuation-free clauses), the weekly Design Bites series on this site will from this point on become a fortnightly affair.
Marking our second weekly descent into five inspiring snippets of site designs impressive by and large, we’ll be focusing on interesting usage of colour and imagery, and a few examples of the spurning of conventional layout dimensions applicable to a personally-held sentiment of “Aye, ye sootheth my frickin’ return sweep synapses”.
After a week of redesign fever, and in a bid to derive the exact perfect term to describe the phenomena of cutting short incessant new design construction in favour of the realisation that flaws in an existing design grow only more pronounced with age and do just damn dandy in the meantime, I present the first post in the kind of series that demands an incessantly rambling opening sentence: a weekly showcase of five favourite site designs.
Operating from a sidebar-less site so recently fashioned, it may seem incongruous to be spitting out this list from a … sidebar-less site so recently fashioned. Fortunately, the resulting amusement derived from one of the less amusing self-contradictions evoked in the history of requisite opening paragraphs allows for a quick, embarrassed shuffling of feet, before an eventual moving on to the actual list within an actual majority’s reading patience threshold of eyeball-rolling.
nektros is the personal site of Yvonne Tran, a 20-year-old Aussie uni student and newly inaugurated member of the kind of workplace that beggars tears of spontaneously combusting kittens.
This is where she shares her thoughts on writing, design, and everything else lovable about life.
