Drawn! Site Redesign

Welcome to the new site design for Drawn! If you’re reading this via RSS, come take a look. Aside from being cleaner, and far more simple, this redesign also incorporates a few new features to the site.

Tags

All the site’s posts are now sorted by relevant tags. This makes it far easier to find everything you want on stop motion, Star Wars, typography, or whatever else you might be interested in. It’s easy to get lost in an inspirational fog, clicking from tag to tag.

Contributor Portfolios

The site’s contributors now have full portfolios and profiles so you can get to know more about us and our own work. Here’s mine!

New to Drawn!

I’m also happy to welcome three new contributors to the team — three of my favourite creative powerhouses, Meg Hunt, David Huyck, and S.britt.

    Very nice, but now I’ll never get to see the disembodied pencil finish drawing the sour looking man in that one ad. Or the angry red monster peeking furtively out of that other ad.

    hello and congrats to new team members!

    I like the clean and usable design.
    That said, I wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t posted this note, because I follow this blog (and many others) with the RSS reader.

    Y’know, I like the new site. Switching things around gives it all a fresh look, it’s less cluttered. I do miss a lot of the information/links from the old arrangement, but overall I like the redesign. More attention to the posts/artwork, less noise from the site. I like it.
