I haven’t been designing anything new lately, since I’ve been put on the task of coding some of the themes from our WooContest held back in ‘08.
Irresistible
The first theme I finished coding on (basic coding done by PSDtoWP) was Irresistible, which we release as a free theme on WooThemes. It was designed by Izzudin Helmi who also designed the whole Groovy Series which I’ve now been put in charge of.
Groovy Video
First up was Groovy Video which I coded from scratch to lay the foundation for the other two themes in the series. After I designed and coded WooTube, I sorta got the hang of how to do a video theme, so this was naturally my first pick to code.
Next themes I will be working on will be Groovy Photo and Groovy Mag(azine), and hopefully the base work I’ve done with Groovy Video will make development time much faster for these new ones.
PolaroidPress is a little personal blog theme with an artistic background and a nice little polaroid that can hold your personal images. The polaroid uses an image randomizer so you can add as many images as you want. The zip file includes a readme.txt with instructions on how to add images to the polaroid.
October ended on a high for WooThemes, with the first WooContest coming to a close. We got a lot of great designers joining in, and I was really surprised over the quality of some of the entries. We ended up picking one winner and two runner ups, and also got our hands on several other designs which we thought were a good match for WooThemes.
So as thanks to all the participants, we thought that we should release the first theme for free. The design is from the very talented Armono Wibowo, who lives in Jakarta in Indonesia, a place I visited last year when I caddied for my buddy on the European Tour.
View the demo, download the theme and enjoy!
