Latest site designs

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

My friend Lee (@leeh) has been keeping me busy the last few months with some site layouts, logos, and apparel designs.  I met Lee through my co-workers and friends Jason (@jasonmoore1st) & Matt (@mattparrett) who know lee through their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class.  He moved to Florida not too long ago so our “business meetings” that became quite regular at the bar behind the apartment have turned to strictly emails and phone calls.  He’s making the most of the sunny weather and keeping up with Jits and work.  So here’s to Lee!  Cheers! (Pass me an Arthur!)

Here is a sampling of the sites with plenty more to come! (more…)

TheRuggedDOTcom

I run through the 99designs.com roster of contests every now and then and came across a Twitter background design contest for TheRugged.com.  They are a new Men’s Lifestyle site that will hopefully be launching soon and blowing up.

Let me know what you guys think!

U Need Design Work?

dotInvesting_Web_Proof-1

I’ve been a bit of a slacker this past month and I must apologize.  Recently I did some design work for a new company providing help to those who are interested in domain investing.  The design just got sent to the developers and should be live soon… hopefully.  I’m really looking forward to seeing it live and working more with @Leeh.

After last weekend I need another vacation!  We made to the Midwest and back in one piece and had a great time seeing the families.  I’ll get the pics up soon…

Until then, I thought I’d give you a peak at what I’ve been doing at work.  We’ve had an influx of Custom orders over at TwitterBackgrounds.com so I’ve had a really busy week!  I finally got to some of our free layouts yesterday, but only a few.

Here are some of our latest Custom jobs:

@eTrendzShop
@christfirstspor
@TheWineLadies
@roderickmorris

Also: @twitrbackground for great updates on all that is Twitter Backgrounds!  @creaturetwtsdly for cool facts and photos about fantastical creatures.

Look out for photos of our Midwest excursion soon…

Need some designs done?

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

These days it’s difficult to find the right designer for the right project because the designer market is so over-saturated with the “fresh outta school” designers who’ll do anything for any price just to boost their portfolio.  I’m currently in the process of re-designing my portfolio, but I am more than happy to show you what I’ve done with a hop skip and a jump over to the Portfolio section of the blog.  This is going to serve my interim portfolio while I decide the best way to update and present my work.

In the mean time, head over to TwitterBackgrounds.com and pYzam.com to check out the backgrounds and layouts I’ve been working on for the past 4 months.

If you know of anyone jumping on the Twitter band-wagon, which I highly recommend for businesses and persons alike, make an informed suggestion: “Why don’t you check out TwitterBackgrounds.com and get a custom background.  It’ll really help your micro-blogging persona.”
