Design Inspiration: Creative Index

Design Inspiration

13 Feb

Don’t get  me wrong, I love color.  But Creative Index makes me want to design all my sites in black and white and gray.  It just looks so chic and modern, fun and professional.

Creative Index

Jessica is a fellow blog designer, and ever since I came across her blog a few weeks ago I’ve been completely enamored.  She makes beautiful graphics for her posts and her site’s design is subtle and elegant.

My favorite thing is that sidebar.  That glorious gray sidebar that stretches from top to bottom on her site.  It’s simple, but it instantly creates some asymmetry on the site that I just love.  I also love the color scheme (or lack of color)… seriously, you have to go hover over those social icons.  They’re just so simple and chic and bold.

Finally, I totally dig the fonts and textures that she uses.  The header is awesome.  I love the retro script and the plaid texture on the “index.”  Simply awesome.

Go check out Creative Index!  You’ll be missing out in a big way if you don’t!

    And powered by Blogger too? that ups the cool factor x10 that she did it without WordPress.

      Definitely!  It’s one of the sleeker designs that I’ve seen on Blogger.
