I’m always happy to add another project to the portfolio. This time it’s Slovenski blogi, or “Slovenian blogs”. I don’t know how you call this type of a website… Blogosphere maybe. It’s a colletion of blogs by Slovene authors, but not necessarily in Slovene language. Most of them are, though. Babble.

I was asked by Robert to do a simple design for the page. He planned to keep at least the basic structure, and after seeing the old design, I decided to keep the color scheme as well ;) The main thing that bothered me with the old design was the complexity of it. It was full of features, but all of them were kind of hidden behind illogical icons (or at least they were to me). So I did my best to simplify it. In the good ol’ “what would Apple do to make it intuitive” spirit.

Robert was quite happy with my design and was quite eager to finish the redesign as soon as possible. I think he had had quite a few sleepless nights during the past 2 weeks, but by this morning, he was done and the site went live.

I’m really happy with how the site turned out. I hope you like it. And sorry about the orange…

I’ve been quite busy with various things lately, hence no blog updates. Sorry for that. But I do have something to show.

I’m working on a website design for a freshly-opened Slovene company, called Zemanta. They were in a hurry and therefore aired a demo website a bit ahead of schedule. Click here for the page.

They had the idea of showing users a demo of what they can do - a content enhancement system. We discussed a bit, drew a few paper demos (as thought by user interface expert Jure Čuhalev) and then I did the actual design. They liked it and made it work.

The demo currently takes any paragraph of text and “enhances it” with some fancy links, keywords and an image. Currently it’s Slovene only. But English speaking users can just use the prepared paragraph, click GO and look at the pretty animation ;)

I hope you like the design. And sorry about the orange…
