More redesigning

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Oh gosh.  It’s that time again isn’t it.  Just a month into the release of my new site, I’ve taken my brand and extended it further. I guess this is the one thing that as a designer we all suffer… the never ending search for happiness (props to EAK for the link).

Then, having read a 24Ways Article by Meagan Fisher who insisted that Photoshop was evil and you can build your site fully in markup… I gave it a go and the current blog (not in the image below) was the output.

Thinking with Type

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Home through ice, food on grill, vacuuming buddy Sookie cleaning like the little domestic robot she is and I’ve got a presentation to complete ready for tomorrow (I started writing this on Friday!).

Suki has still been working hard on those pine leaves that my little Christmas tree left as a parting gift.  They are pine leaves right?

Theft, inspiration and the colour red.

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Following the redesign of this site I had a number of interesting comments on the design.  Being a bit of a perfectionist at times, has meant that I’m not fully content with it all.  However, instead of feigning contentment with it, I’ve put together this post to explain my current gripes and how I’m going to amend it.

White space on the homepageI didn’t really like the homepage at first… especially when viewing it on Windows.  However I’ve given it a bit more space and I’ll continue to play and invoke a little bit more emotion and dynamic information here, whilst keeping it neat and simple.

Alpha release: Sharp

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Well here it is.  Cheerful as it may sound… I’ve spent a good part of 4 days working on this during my holiday.  Thankfully, it’s come together quite nicely and I’m quite fond of the result so far.

However, there’s far more work to done on the site!  So here’s a quick break down of what I need to fix/test/update.
