The Lowe’s design changes again ever so slightly. We’re getting closer to Christmas, it’s in the air!

Kim Myles from HGTV is even helping out this holiday season.

If you hover over and click the elf peaking around the top left corner, he'll take you to the Black Friday page.

Lowe’s launched the new holiday design today. See images below of the design for the new homepage. (Click images to see a larger version.)

The homepage becomes interactive.

It’s almost a complete redesign of the entire site. Notice how the background is no longer blue? Just to remind you what it looked like before, see the image below:

The left navigation was removed to allow for more space in the design and I think it makes it less busy. There is definitely more of a warm homey feel to the new design with the warm tan background and subtle areas of red and other fall colors. It introduces Christmas, but without it being too overpowering since it is only October.

Got the job at Lowe’s as a Web Production Designer a month ago. Just wanted to share some of the things I’ve been working on. I’ve been working on illustrations, cropping photos, getting things ready for the web and exporting XML files. Only problem is it’s only a 2-month+ contract, so I will be looking for new employment very soon.
It’s been very exciting learning how a large company like Lowe’s works. Everything is organized down to a tee! Everyone knows what their job duties are and what they should be working on at all times, it definitely makes a change. I always hear how people don’t like working in cubicles. But I don’t think it’s all that bad. I like hearing what’s going on around me and it’s very easy to talk to people since they can never close a door.
