Maimpok

Logo
We wanted a pretty unique and smart sounding name. We brainstormed names such as T_PO.T- Tech post and MRJ- The letters of our first names. In the end we settled for TB109. Get it? TechBlog. In addition the numbers sum up to the mark we want to achieve for our assignment-- okay I'm not that smart, I only come up with that reason just then.
For the design of the logo I wanted to integrate the letter "T" part of the name subtly. I was always concerned people would be scared off or disinterested by just hearing the word "Tech". So hopefully by creating an interesting logo a wider range of people will have a look.

Template
We had a specific design we were hoping to achieve as soon as formed the blog. We sketched a couple of designs with a pretty fancy top navigation bar but realised we didn't have the technical skills to do it. I decided in order to achieve a great design we had to use a template. The template we adopted is called maimpok. I would like to give a shout out to Padd Solutions the creators of the template and Blogging Templates the guy who converted it to a blogger theme. We tweaked the original template by changing the colours to a green theme in addition to editing the featured articles to show our blogs ones.
