Yahoo // Blog Designs
Here are a few designs that I have found which I will take elements from for the design of the Yahoo Blog
I will be keeping the design simple and clean - white background with a hit of colour; but mainly the Yahoo purple.
I like the simplicity here, and the profile picture and information about the user is on the right. I want to keep as much white space on the page as possible, Facebook design is far too overcrowded.
I like having the icons accross the top of the page and the Logo / Page name is enlarged in a strapline
I like the large header of the page - teenagers like showing pictures of themselves or what they like, Facebook now has a 'cover photo' - this I can use for the blog, making it personal and more about pictures than uncesseary text.
I like how the page is sectioned off.
Here there are 3 large photos sections instead of one large one.
Bold, simple and colourful - there are clear sections. I think this is almost too simple and not very interesting to look at.
Blog contents is in a different section from the background of the page.
Simple layout, too much text for my idea but I was looking more about the layout.
The idea of having large comments next to the photos - a blurb...telling the story - more like an article than a photo album, but maybe this could be an element I need to bring into the blog, to have photo and text combined or at leaste have the option.
Simple, centralised layout of videos.

AMR // Bakermat // More Information
http://www.soulmax-agency.nl/news/130/52/Bakermat/d,artist.html
Bakermat, an alias for young dutch producer Lodewijk Fluttert, had a quick rise. In just three months he gained a lot of views, likes and followers with his productions. He allways had an obsession with music, in many genres. The young Bakermat was into jazz and blues at a young age and discovered house music when he was around 12. By fanatically listening to every track that was posted on blogspots he soon had a huge library built up. At the age of 18, he went to the University of Utrecht to study Psychology and to finally live on his own with other students. It was Utrecht that made him discover deep house and producing.
He started practising a lot with production and deejaying an quickly developed a sound of his own. His sound, deep house with jazz and soul influences, started to get a lot of attention in this short time. He went from being an ordinary student with no musical network at all to a producer with labels and agencys knocking on his door. In september Bakermat singed a contract with agency Soulmax, knowing that they will bring him to the next level. With a lot of future gigs allready planned. His sets are filled with joy and happines, and always melodic. Saxophones, flutes, trumpets, bakermat tries to use them a lot because it’s the combination of these jazz instruments with deep house music that make bakermat’s style unique. Still growing as an artist, bakermat had a release in August on Delicieuse Records where he released the “Vandaag EP” consisting of the tracks Vandaag and Zomer (DM mix). Some other tracks that are received succesfully are “Uitzicht”, “Black Cat John Brown” and “Strandfeest”. He is currently working on productions with other artists as well like Arjuna Schiks, Tonique etc. A lot of work in progress is ready to be released and the gigs are lined up, growth is what matters!
