The Artistic Outlaw

May 1st, for many is a day that is synonymous with refreshing or rebooting or just scrapping and starting over with your web-site. I’ve participated several times in the past. In 2006, the now defunct CSS Reboot is what put leihu.com on the map. In other words I think it’s a good exercise, even if at the very least it pulls you out of the doldrums of a stale design or designer block.

This year, I chose to redesign The Artistic Outlaw, and it happened to correspond in a timely manner with May 1st. Thus, my participation with the Standards Reboot.

If you are seeing this for the first time, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I really wanted to try and break free of my current personal trend with earth tones and muted colors. I think I burst out of that box quite flamboyantly. It feels nice to know that I can design outside my comfort zone and produce something I really, really like love to look at.

I’ve got a couple of new posts coming up, but I’m not going to promise super increased activity here. I tend to only blog when I have something real to say. And It will stay that way for now.

However, I hope when I do publish an article it’ll mean more to you, because it’s thought out and meaningful.

Thanks for visiting I really appreciate any and all patronage.
