Shiny plus old-school funky colors meets terrific design

I ran across Petr Lysak's WebCoffee blog and from the first moment, I was wowed by the design. It really appealed to me.

That got me to thinking about how important great design is to a Website, blog, ebook or other mainly text-based content.

Petr says he used "shiny colors" and "funky old school colors". I just love the cigarette in the logo.

He describes how he created this compelling design here.

Petr built the entire design himself without the use of any commercial blogging software. Maybe that's why I was so drawn to it. Because it is an original deign, it doesn't look the same as a TypePad blog (like mine) or a Wordpress or Blogger blog. It does not have that template feel.

Well done Petr. Good luck with the blog.

Thank you David, since it was a subject of my school thesis, I wanted it to be a bit different; therefore needed any theoretical background. Yours gave me the best!

I am also a graphic designer and i know how important is to give perfect colors to a design, and believe me this design is itself appreciating its designer. well done.
