Niponwave

It’s time to brush up my CSS (and PHP). It has been almost 3 years I designed this look for Niponwave. Now I am planning on a complete redesign. The nature of the web has changed. With the advent of sites like Twitter and such, the web has grown more social. Blogs have also become more interactive. Besides, this site has grown in terms of popularity. The way comments are displayed need to be changed. There is no point in displaying hundreds of comments in the same page. I might as well add a forum to take care of the never-ending questions of visitors to this site. What also lies ahead is a new design for Bong Buzz, the friendly group blog venture which uses a readymade template right now. The present look sucks big time, needless to say. Earlier it had the ancient brown look designed by me which was better but I changed it as it had a kinda oldie feeling and lacked rich colours. Somehow I seemed to prefer dull colours at that time, which also explains the color of Niponwave. In apparel stores, almost invariably, I ended up choosing outfits of dull shades. With a lot of scolding and convincing from my mother, I had to get rid of my color bias. Not just outfits, my Mom would even look at my websites and she was very sceptical of their oldish color profiles. Where were we? I was telling why I changed the Bong Buzz look. Okay. It is a multi-author blog with a very youthful writing team. Ace blogger in our team Trina has asked me to make it look fun. With mounting study pressures and my once-again-started gymming, I can worry about designing only in the weekends. So this is not going to be anytime soon.

Apart from tweaking existing sites, I will also start a new medical-related site. I am not very sure of the content right now. But once set up, ideas will start flowing for sure! This medical site is the idea of  Anjan sir - Dr. Anjan K Das who blogs at Reflections and some of his posts can be read on Bong Buzz too!

Right now, I am busy with setting up a site for our college students union, a job entrusted by the union on me and my very good friend Pratik. A few months from now, I might start working on the website of a Delhi board school in Siliguri the owner of which is a friend of mine.
