Site Redesign and NGWSD

First of all, I want to thank and give credit to Anne Evans for the look and feel of the redesigned site. Anne and I talked in December, and I gave her some very vague instructions on a site redesign. I believe I said I liked a certain kind of fleur-de-lis and honestly that’s about it. She came back with a set of logos, colors, and brand guidelines. It’s more than I would have ever expected, but Anne definitely over delivered. When I started this site less than a year ago, I developed a really basic logo and selected some random colors and fonts for pages. The goal was to work on my writing and worry about site design in the off-season. For the redesign, I basically just wanted a more professional looking site, which I believe was achieved. The fact that Anne put so much thought into the logos and colors was a great surprise. If you ever need any design work done, I can’t recommend Anne Evan Creative highly enough.

Second, I want to let everyone know that I am always open to suggestions. I made the initial decision to go with an ALL CAPS look but got a suggestion from a Twitter follower (Marie @marielynn502) that the all caps look was difficult to read. I agreed and since it was just a setting, made the change. I anyone ever has suggestions on the site, I will consider them even if I don’t implement them.

The University of Louisville Women’s Basketball team celebrated National Girls and Women in Sports Day by defeating Wake Forest 72-60. Prior to the game, 5 Racing Louisville players were made available to sign autographs: Emina Ekic, Addisyn Merrick, Taylor Otto, Nealy Martin, and new signee Kirsten Davis. It was good to see so many players in town to train early. In fact, Nealy told me that they were likely returning to training shortly after signing autographs. Here are a few pictures.
