Thunderbolt redesign launches

Published on 6^th April 2008 in Design, Videogames, Websites, tagged minimalism, Thunderbolt.

My games website Thunderbolt has received a visual overhaul today, with a cleaner design and a number of new features.

The eighth version adopts a minimalist style which is designed to detract from article text and images as little as possible. I paid special attention to making the site as legible as possible and I’m really pleased with the result.

Aside from the visual adjustments, the new site also introduces comments for the first time and dispenses with the news. I asked myself what people enjoy doing the most and writing news was obviously that. Now the site is firmly focused on reviews, features and opinion, hopefully offering a credible alternative to the likes of GameSpot and IGN.
