Prismatic Blog

Hi there! I was going to wait a bit more until I had more time to redo my layout, but the three-column layout was annoying the hell out of me. lol It made perfect sense when this blog was the only site I had, but now I’ve got the main site and the pixel subdomain, which means the blog only has… blog posts for now.

Unlike Prismatic Pink and Prismatic Pixels that use px as measurements, I made this blog using only em, which supposedly makes it more flexible in different screen sizes. As a laptop user on her tiny 13″ Macbook Air, most indie web sites get horizontal bars on my screen, which is a bit annoying, but I understand that my site probably looks tiny on their screens and that can be annoying as well. Well, since my main focus here (unlike the other sites I own) is readability over aesthetics, I hope it looks neat on your screen, and you are more than welcome to give me this feedback.

I also disliked my blog fonts, I thought they looked tacky, and also grew tired of the frills everywhere (frills are amazing, they were just not my vibe anymore). I did not want to copy Prismatic Pink’s font and use Georgia in everything, but hey, that’s exactly what I did! I guess this font will become my new personality, like I mentioned on this questionnaire lmao.

Another thing that’s interesting to mention is that I somehow feel obliged to stick to a “prismatic pink” aesthetics (i.e. including rainbows and pink everywhere) just because of the title of my sites. That can be both a blessing and a curse. I like maintaining a cohesive aesthetics on all subdomains, but that can be a bit overwhelming sometimes when it comes to creative freedom. The background is too gray, which certainly goes against the prismatic aesthetics, but that’s the best thing I can think about for this moment. It could be a rest for the eyes to contrast with my main site. lol

The menu on mobile still looks ugly as hell, I’m sorry. I’ll fix this asap.

That’s it for now. Just a small post to justify my design choices haha. See you later!
