One of the first things I did when I uploaded my first WordPress magazine theme was to comb through it’s code. I figured out what made the theme do what, and I moved things around to make it look like I wanted it to look.
If you look at The Brown Spectator’s website, you’ll see elements from online magazines that I regularly read. I’ve taken my inspiration for some of the elements in the header from Politico, I’ve taken inspiration for the images that display the title of the display categories from Human Events, the navigation bar and the element right underneath the header was taken from Harper’s. Anymore, you wouldn’t know that the website started as the Mimbo theme.
At Closing Remarks nearly every element was stolen right from the New Yorker and Vanity Fair’s websites. This theme will see an awful lot of modifications, but as it is now, Closing Remarks is the first instantiation of my new Black Widow theme which will be available for download sometime this year.
