ADRIANNE’S SPACE has been launched and created on April 2, 2024. This personal space (blog, personal site, etc.) had gone through different names and domains before this one:
- Adventure Antibiotics (late 90s-early 2000)
- ADRIMARIE.us (mid-late 2000s)
- ADRICULOUS.me (late 2000s-early 2010s)
- The ADRICULOUS Life (early 2010s-2024)
How This was Built
- WordPress (and various plugins to power up this site)
- Child theme based on the Astra Theme (child themes are very helpful for custom modification!)
- VS Code
- Procreate (for my digital artwork which includes my (banner) logo)
- Adobe Illustrator (for converting some of my artwork to vector)
- Adobe Photoshop (for some basic image editing if needed)
- Adobe Express (for some of the featured images in my blog when needed)
- Pexels, Pixabay, Unsplash, etc. (for the stock photos)
- A2 Hosting (web host for almost 10 years now)
- Namecheap (domain provider for over 20 years now)
About the visuals
The favicon, the artwork, and my profile art at the footer are all made by me using Procreate, my Apple Pencil 1st Gen, and my iPad 7th Gen.
The gray “paper” background is from Subtle Patterns.
The fonts are both from Google Fonts and from a font bundle package sold by FontBundles. In the near future, I may start using my own handmade fonts.
