Ain't It Cool News : Redesign

   Before founding my own movie blog AICN was a site I visited daily for years and years. For me AICN is the Rolling Stone of Geek.

   My goal of the redesign was to make it still feel like AICN. But with a cleaner more modern feel. So I kept the color pallet and the general feel of the layout. It's new but familiar.

   The biggest gripe from people was the pixel font. Others missed the gif animated short thats a signature part of the current site. The first was a design choice and the second was always intended to be there.

   The cleaner layout was a hit even with detractors. What I found funny was people thinking I had changed the color pallet, when i had gone out of my way to use the exact colors of the current site.

   This rebound reflects those suggested changes among many other small refinements.
