GUIGalaxy was redesigned and formally relaunched a couple weeks ago, after resurrecting from a 3+ year hiatus in late 2009. The site is a fun little outlet on design, programming, and WordPress in general — basically all things nerdy.

Within the last few months I was contacted by Clay Griffiths, creator of the Headway WordPress Theme, to design their application icon. The icon would represent Headway within the standard WordPress administration panel.

There are a few updates on the design front since last post. Very much in the theme of Systematic Icon Design, I recently had the opportunity to work with the creators of the Headway Premium WordPress Theme on the application icon for their v.1.6 release.

In web site design, after the overall look-and-feel is nailed down, I’ll work out specific UI elements (icons, controls, widgets). Maintaining clarity of purpose and consistency with the overarching interface are paramount concerns.
