Update: Original minusfive WordPress Theme

Jorge Villalobos — Tue, 20 May 2008 05:28:25 +0000

I just wanted to let you know I’ve made progress preparing the theme for release, and it seems it could be ready sooner than I expected.

I’ve had to make several changes to its functionality because the version I had running on my blog was heavily customized, and I need to make sure it can run on any WordPress install. I have to say though, by doing this cleanup and standardization I have simplified many things that were bugging me before and I’m really liking what I’m seeing! After I’m done with it I might have to switch back to that theme ;)

Anyway, I’ll keep you posted.

Releasing the Original minusfive WordPress Theme

Jorge Villalobos — Mon, 19 May 2008 03:08:21 +0000

I’m proud to announce I’ve formally started working on preparing the original minusfive WordPress theme for mass release. The theme was inspired by my first visit to MoMA, a place I dreamed of visiting ever since I found my passion for modern design.

There are many things to work out in order to make the theme flexible enough so it can work seamlessly in any WordPress install. I hope to be posting soon about the actual release.

Wishlist: Domus 1928–1999 — Last Chance

In their April 29 newsletter, TASCHEN warns design & architecture lovers of the discontinuation of the Domus 1928–1999 collection after the summer of 2008. Not only that, but once the volumes stop being sold as a collection they will be re-designed; so this is your last chance to get the quintessential collection of modernism works in its original package design.

Magouya’s blog-folio

While doing my habitual CSS-Gallery-Browsing of the day, I came across this beautiful website designed by Johanna Rainouard, a french national who currently lives in Switzerland and works as a ‘Multi-Media Creative’ for Neptune Technologies. In this ‘Blog-Folio’ as she calls it, she presents her works as a web and graphics designer, offering as content her Ideas for new projects she’s working on among other things of her daily life. It’s not necessarily ‘minimalistic’, but it is definitely modern and well designed. Congratulations Johanna! (Here’s a link to the blog).
