I have been wanting to do this since ages and today’s a good day as I’m taking a break from studying after my midterm today. I remembered getting an inspiration for the theme of this work through reading my Music 10 Textbook on Bach, how he always ended every piece with a signature “Soli Deo Gloria” meaning Glory to God Alone.

I decided to name this PSD theme Soli Deo Gloria and aimed to design a layout which is mainly a blog with several simple information about the author and how to contact him/her.

The design is supposedly more realistic:

• Wood as background instead of just gradient/colors
• Leather/Skin with stitches as the navigation buttons
• Words that looked like they are carved on to the wood (Logo) or permanently deformed the material (Navigation Buttons)
• Date and Month on a glass-like button on the edge of each post
• The colour green and brown, showing trees or in other word, Life

All in all, I’m rather satisfied with the design and layout of this theme and hopefully I can find time to convert the whole PSD into for publishing using Wordpress. That’s another tough challenge
