Conference Time Again!

March 12 2008

We just booked up tickets for my two favourite conferences, The Highland Fling in Edinburgh and @Media 2008 in London.

I’m really looking forward to both this year, last time was a blast, especially the Fling, it’s fantastic having a conference of it’s caliber in my home town.

Hopefully we can swing a few more this year as I’d love to attend dConstruct and FOWA .

LeahCulver.com redesign

January 1 2008

LeahCulver.com redesign

The redesign I worked on for Leah Culver’s site is now live

I’m really happy with how this one turned out, especially the permalink pages. Working on the design was a bit of a learning experience for me, since the work I’ve done in the past has been more graphically focused sites comics or illustration work. This site, however, is more textually focused and I had to really reign in on the graphical flourishes I had added to early mock ups of the site that distracted from the content.

Anyway, thanks to Leah for the opportunity, it was a fun little project!

Web design Etiquette

July 9 2007

The one major rule I have in both flash and html design is, do not resize my window with javascript ever.

If my window is not full screen or has task or status bar, it’s probably like that for a reason, it’s my browser, not yours. It’s impolite, your website is a guest in my computer, so don’t make a mess of it!

Rant over and out.
