Design Refresh

If you're reading this from a feed reader, then hop on over to DustinDiaz.com and check out the latest design iteration of ./with Imagination. The first thing you might notice... it's white!. Yes. Finally. A website you can read. However I still believe I've maintained the brand despite such a contrast switch. Nevertheless, for those that still enjoy the light-on-dark, I whipped up a simple contrast switcher located at the top right hand corner of each webpage. Go ahead, click it; your preference will be saved. Also if you're so inclined, take the tour as well. You wouldn't want to miss that.

Page/Font Scaler

One of the coolest things that I enjoyed with the new design is the page's ability to scale with the font. Feel free to use either your own browser shortcuts ("control" - "+" or "-") or the font-scaling links located in the header near the top right located as "A, A+, A++." Take special note that the size of the webpage will scale along side any changes in font-size.

A Design for You

In the end, the inspiration for the redesign was you, the reader. Taking what I learned from Google, and applying it to my brand, I think I have achieved something special despite the minimalist look. It is indeed, very utilitarian, but with hopes that it will be easier to use and give you a better user experience. Cheers!
