So what’s behind this Redesign, well for me and the site it’s like a restart, I’ve started this blog a year ago and I have not really invest some time in curating it don’t know really why.
The Current design is HashOne by Obox Design so it was and still is a cool design but it’s not made for a Design Blog so I needed something new and this is what I came up with.It’s not very professional or cool but I’m not a pro with my 17 years , I know there are some Designers in my age pulling of better Designs, maybe i will do that too someday.

This is the new Logo.I kept it really simple, used the colorsthat are used in the Redesign.The Typefaces used in this logo are Soho and Aeroportal.

If you have visited my site you will know that I have posted some articles about artists and some Daily Inspirations and some other inspirational stuff.The problem was i haven’t been posting regularly,but now I would like to change that.If you would like to become an author on Ikab Magazine than drop me a mail.Here are the kind of posts I will be posting:

Click on the image if you want to get more infos about the design and the respected author.Sorry I heve not included the name of the author directly in this post.

Let me introduce this little typographic theme to you.Actually this was designed for the typographic template contest at Smashing Magazine by the german Webdesigner David Hellmann,I really liked it and wanted to have a Wordpress Version.So here it is I tried my best to get this working.

Here is the Demo

This theme the is quite focused on Portfolios but it could also be used as a normal blog theme.
Here are some Options I included to make it easier to put in some Portfolio Works.

So these are the Post Options of the Theme where you can put in some informations about the Project and also some Images and if you want to have a normal post just put in the URL of the image in the “Image” field.

There are also some Theme Options I included so you can manage this theme a bit easier.Here is a preview of the Options Page:

If you want to use this as a Portfolio theme you need o use a little plugin for Custom Single Pages : Plugin site
so when you are editing a portfolio post you just need te select the Portfolio template page.

Some Screenshots:

-If you not put in a post image it will grab boring default image you should delete those lines if you dont use thumbnails on your post.
-You need to create the Portfolio category to use the Portfolio features like the Recent work widget and the Portfolio index and single page
-In the next version I will try to change a couple of things so it will run smooth and with less problems

Download

Actual designer : David Hellmann
Download the normal Template at : Smashing Magazine

Give me some feedback and tell if there is something I should improve because this theme is not perfect and I’m still young so dont be so critical
