top: Wizard v.2; bottom: Wizard v.1

It’s been 4 years since I started this blog. Last year to celebrate the occasion I gave the blog a total facelift with 4 switchable designs. I wasn’t going to re-invent the wheel so quickly, so for this year I set my eyes on improving the existing themes. With the switchable system in place, the update was much easier than ever before. Therefore, to celebrate this blog’s 4th birthday and Harry Potter’s birthday – which is tomorrow if you remember from the books – I announce the launching of a newly re-design Wizard theme!

The old wizard theme was the first one out of the four I designed last year, and I wasn’t as satisfied with it as the other. That’s why it’s the first one to receive a makeover. The idea was to light up the design a bit more. Abandon the gritty feel of it and draw inspiration from the style of the actual Harry Potter movie instead. I particularly spent a considerable amount of time on the title font, re-creating the style based on the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie.

Let me know what you think!
