Blog Design: There is Such a Thing!

By Web Works Design Manager Bree Barry

I recently came across a great article about the possible new direction of blogs: Death of the Boring Blog Post. These days, everyone has a blog. It seems almost every blog consists of the same thing: minimal design and big blocks of text. However appealing the blog posts may be, sometimes ideas or interesting thought is lost because of boredom or lack of interest. Well, with the increase in what technology offers us, we can start DESIGNING the information in our blogs. I am not talking about the basic layout and color changes that most blogs like Wordpress and Blogger offer. I am talking about high quality, well thought out information architecture: the marriage of copy and images. I never thought that blogs would one day enter the realm of design, but I am happy that they are. Although Web Works is attuned to the new trends and a supporter of blog design, we probably won't be taking on the task of fully designing our blog anytime soon. But stay tuned, more great things to come and you never know when we are going to jump on the "blogazine" trend.
