Same As Before. Only Different

Yes, another week, another new theme. This time the hopefully aptly named "Fluid". I've also moved the theme selector into a handy dandy drop down (New For Your Convenience!) that can be found in amongst the list at the side (you're all bright people - I trust you to find it).

As will likely be evident by now, I do love tinkering with graphics and design and I've every intention of carrying on creating new themes on a fairly regular basis (until I get bored of the idea at least). The original idea for the "Cardboard" theme actually originated a few years back when a friend mentioned that he was interested in starting a blog and asked if I could help him out with the design. Consequently I dragged him off to the nearest Waterstones and spend an hour or two flipping through design books looking for ideas that appealed to us both (or truth be told, to me - I can be quite dictatorial when the need arises). An early version of the cardboard theme was the result. In the end the blog never amounted to anything, but I kept the graphics around anyway and I finally got to use a modified version here.

It also occurs to me that I never did go into any details on the genesis of the "Autumn" theme, which I really should, lest I appear to take credit for other peoples work. Simply put I knew that I wanted to create a theme with the idea of autumn as a basis, so I began scouring googles image archives for pictures of leaves. And in doing so I came across a picture here. Scroll down a bit - I'm sure you'll recognise it when you see it. (The Mormon Chic site itself is worth a glance or two - it's certainly... different from the sites I normally frequent).

I'll probably invest in some design books soon - I find having a good source of reference materials to springboard from is invaluable. If anyone happens to have any good recommendations, by all means let me know.
