What does the iPad mean for Web Design?

January 24, 2010

Hey, guess what? I’m still alive! Yeah I know my last blog post has been over EIGHT MONTHS ago, but I’m still alive and kicking. On the bright side, since then, I landed a job at iRacing.com, and redesigned/coded their website and built a second site, inRacingNews.com which is starting to gain popularity. On top [...]

 

Does Anyone Really Blog Any More?

May 18, 2009

I started this blog with really high hopes of writing at least one entry a week, building up a community, and creating a personal online identity. I think that’s what all bloggers want in the beginning. You set up a site, start typing, then get recognized, then make money. Unfortunately I along with many other [...]

July 10, 2008

Back in the day I used to think about what interviewing and working for a design job would be like. I would always picture a real laid back agency with bean bag chairs (I don’t know why I always pictured bean bag chairs…), a wide open studio with lots of Macs and expensive equipment. As [...]

 

Tutorial: A clean, reusable Web 2.0 shine

May 14, 2008

I came up with this technique when I was creating Photoshop templates at work which called for all sorts of different colored buttons. Typically before this, I created buttons the usual way, combining transparencies with gradients and other elements, and that worked out fine for a few different buttons, but what if you had to [...]
