Praying for A Premium News Jackpot
Adii’s running a contest that WordPress theme designers can’t miss. Along with re-releasing upgrades of all the Premium News Themes this week (Live Wire, Original, NewsPress, Flash News & Gazette Edition) Adii’s made a new All-Inclusive Developer’s Package available. The package includes Developer’s Licenses for all 7 themes, allowing the owner to use any theme on as many websites as they wish. The package is available for purchase at $499.95, which is a fantastic deal for any aspiring designer (this aspiring designer definitely thinks so!).
So what’s Adii’s contest about? It’s pretty simple - you can win yourself a copy of the new All-Inclusive Developer’s Package by blogging about the contest. Right on. Being a hardcore photoshop and wordpress junkie, I’ve always wanted to dive into WordPress theme design development. I so admire the functionality that Adii’s team has packed into the Premium News Theme designs, but being a self taught coder, I’d have to go to great lengths to add all that functionality in myself. To start out on projects with one or two of Adii’s function-packed designs would be a dream - being able to leverage the care that’s been put in on the back end would really allow me to focus all my energy on tweaking the designs and turn the themes into something unique and different.
My personal favorite of the 7 is the Gazette Edition. I’ve had my eye on it for a while, and I’m pumped that Adii’s added the recent Live Wire-inspired upgrades. The rotating featured post section, along with the prime ad spots makes it a perfect candidate for my next blog project redesigningtheworld.com, a blog focusing on rethinking design(s) we take for granted. I’ve been psyched about the project and I’ve been hunting for just the right theme, so winning this contest would make my year. It’s so important to launch a blog with a great, unique theme and Adii’s work continuously sets the bar for WP design. In this humble blogger’s opinion, his attention to details like the Premium News Theme’s admin panel (making populating ads, video, flickr streams etc a cut and paste job) do so much for people who want to focus on content, not code. Attention to those kinds of details make him a trend-setting designer, and set him apart from other Premium Theme designers like Brian Gardner and Michael Pollock. In any case, that’s my two cents. Until April 4th, I’ll be sitting on the edge of my seat.
