New work: Typologos

A new work made by me is on air. It is the blog of the Greek journalist Nikos Moshovos. The name of the blog is Typologos.

Nikos was very happy from our cooperation for his previous version of his website. When we started talking about a new and fresh design I thought we could create something good once again. His activity would be covered well by a blog. So we first took this decision in seconds and then we looked for the details.

Information Design

The particular blog didn’t include anything too complicated. Except for the huge content which was dispersed into many categories. (What is now uploaded is less than the 1/3 of his whole work).

What we both wanted was to make the life of his visitors easy. Which means that any article should be 2 or 3 clicks away. So, the sidebar was to hold all the categories.

Layout & Artwork

My first approach was something which would remind a newspaper, since Nikos is a journalist. However he wanted something less dull. He wanted vivid colors which would remind each visitor that this website is Typologos, nothing else. The color combo is now bold but not tiring.

Apart from this, I used both serif (for the heading) and sans-serif (for the rest of the text) typography just I like to do. The layout is not something extraordinary mostly because we both wanted to keep things simple. The CSS was written especially for this blog of course.

I am glad Nikos is happy from the final result. I know he has great plans which include this website and I wish him the best.

You can find Typologos in the work area of this website.
