I updated my blog to it’s latest release… and all my content that was polishing before releasing it was erased. So I’m pretty much starting from scratch…
Good thing is though, I was able to implement some pretty cool jquery libs.
Til later folks.
What you see here is my first ever blog/portfolio site (work coming soon). I’ve been a web designer for almost two years now and after many failures I was finally able to settle on a design that I’m happy with.
I think the most challenging part of the design was the layout. I wanted to do something simple but I wanted to tell the visitor right away who I am, what I do and some design pieces, and the blog is pretty much for myself. So there you have it. If you have any questions, comments or pointers just contact me here.
In the words of the Mighty Max Voltar, “Listen first, design later…”. So I began working on a design for a local IT company. As the project manager and I were discussing the project I was busting out a comp in my head with full-on noise filters and what not… bad. idea. Two things happened:
1. The perfect design I had envisioned didn’t look too good once layed out in PS.
2. The designs that followed mirrored my first design, causing a “Creative Block”.
I learned some valuable lessons here. Take notes, figure the client’s goals for the site, investigate, look for inspiration, and most importantly (for me) always sketch even if you have it all planned out in your head. Thanks Señor Voltar.
