Stopdesign’s new look

Doug Bowman launched his complete redesign of Stopdesign yesterday and it looks absolutely fantastic. In this revision, he has scaled down his blog on the front page, incorporating it into a three column layout. The blog is now only 200px wide or so. He has also divided up the site navigation into two navbars: one at the top with all of his commercial services and one below the logo with his free content. The logo on the front page is taller than any other pages for emphasis, which I think looks nice and works well. Each free content section has its own color scheme, which has been redesigned from scratch. All of the schemes look great and are easy to read. At the moment he is still getting some of the bugs worked out, but so far the redesign looks superb.
