There is a show going on in my head…” – that is the tagline for The Clay Show, a site that we recently launched the new design for this week! We did just a fantastic job working with Clay on his concept and ideas for how he wanted his blog to look, feel and act. Clay was looking for something edgy and artistic, with a touch of chaos. . .

The color scheme was a bit of a challenge at the start. Clay initially wanted dark blue and black, however that was just a bit *too* dark to – so We worked with him and together they settled on the perfect scheme that incorporated his original ideas, along with some vibrant red and yellow. The theme is edgy.. it definitely has a touch of chaos, is a bit industrial and, overall, very fitting with the topics Clay likes to post about the most: sex, gambling and sports.

The Clay Show is powered by Typepad and we were able to provide him with a custom design for his blog by using the Advanced Template feature that Typepad has available for their PRO level subscribers.

Clay recently said, “I hope this new fangled look will inspire me to write more posts, but I’ve been very busy doing stuff.” – - boy do we understand busy! We hope it inspires you to post more, too, Clay – - thank you!
