The great redesign project

March 14, 2017March 15, 2017Leave a comment

It’s been way too long since I last updated this blog (almost 5 years!) and I felt like it was time to revamp my entire site. I’ve been working on completely redesigning everything with an awesome new theme and a bunch of new sections, including an area to showcase my Procreate brushes. Basically, this blog will now serve primarily as a sort of portfolio and a place to display projects I’m working on, which means a lot of iPad lettering, since that’s my new obsession. I’m also going to link to new reviews I write for Trashwire, and any interesting news I might have about Optimum Social.

Here’s my work in progress on the new design.

And here’s a glimpse at the old theme.

The new one adds a ton of functionality, which isn’t surprising considering it’s been half a decade since I changed themes! The nice thing about WordPress is that it’s always evolving and there’s always some amazing new feature that takes your site to the next level. I figured it was well past time to start utilizing some of those new features.

A greedy corporation with an unregulated monopoly relentlessly pursues profits at the expense of the public good. That’s not just the fictional Acme corporation in Coyote vs. Acme, it’s also the story of the film itself, which has finally hit theaters after a multi-year battle. Shiva Nirvana’s Irumudi marks a cinematic redemption for Ravi Teja, reminding audiences that he’s one of the most versatile actors in the Telugu film industry. Lokesh Kanagaraj makes his acting debut in Arun Matheswaran’s stylish new Tamil film DC, which gives us a fresh take on Devdas meets Bonnie and Clyde. Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi light up the screen together as Das and Chandra in a story with gritty violence and intimate emotion, conveyed through striking cinematography from Mukesh G and some of Anirudh Ravichander’s best music to date. Can Spider-Man: Brand New Day finally reset the MCU? 🕷️ The Odyssey Movie Review: Christopher Nolan’s must-see IMAX epic features a star-studded cast, incredible performances from Robert Pattinson and John Leguizamo, Hoyte van Hoytema’s stunning cinematography, and a sweeping Ludwig Göransson score, making it worth watching on the biggest screen possible. A simple dinner party with their upstairs neighbors leads to a spiral of self-discovery and complicated relationship dynamics for a married couple in Olivia Wilde’s The Invite. Venkatesh Maha’s new Telugu film, Rao Bahadur, is a stunning visual delight that thrives in complexities and gray areas. Samantha leads Nandini Reddy’s Maa Inti Bangaram as Swarna, who tries to be the ideal housewife for her husband’s disapproving family until her violent past is revealed and she has to use her very unique set of skills to defend them. Few directors in the world speak the language of film quite as fluently as Steven Spielberg. With Disclosure Day, he brings his signature sense of wonder, along with John Williams’ score and Janusz Kaminski’s cinematography, but the sci-fi story doesn’t quite live up to the sum of its parts.
