Sexy Wordpress theme: Black Minimalism

Black Minimalism
I love WordPress, and I love design, so obviously I'm always keeping an eye on new WordPress themes. But maybe I'm a design snob, 'cause most of the ones I see don't impress me. At all. However, a few weeks back I came across a theme that I think is absolutely gorgeous: Valter Nepomuceno's Black Minimalism. That's a bit of a misnomer, because as you can see the theme isn't especially minimalistic, but it is beautiful. From the gorgeous photo selection (which you can swap out just like in Kubrick, by the way) and the rich background to the subtle depth and transparency, this is one theme I would be proud to display on my own blog. Despite the multiple visual elements, it's not cluttered and is easy on the eyes. Black Minimalism is loosely based on the flexible K2 theme but has just one column, which I'm partial to. It's one of those themes that's just nice to look at it, and if you're looking to set your WordPress blog apart from the thousands of Kubrick clones, I highly recommend it.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
