Here's a word cloud graphic I worked on for Esquire Innovations,. Inc for a trade show they attended in Nashville. They went with a guitar/music theme for most of their conference materials this year. This took a long time but it was a lot of fun.
I’ve been wanting to redesign my site for a while now. This wasn’t what I had pictured in my head at all but I don’t have the WordPress dev skills to build what is in my head.
Someone should develop a pensieve app… you put your thoughts into it and it spits out code. That would be cool. But that’s why we have devs.
Meanwhile, I can’t decide whether to keep going or not. I kinda like it right now.. simple.. straight-forward… a bit of artwork thrown in y’know? So, I’m sitting here with one of those “It’s sorta ok with me for now” shrugs rolling over my shoulders.
Plan to add some custom post formats. And maybe I’ll just leave it at that.
(For non Potter fans, if there is such a thing: What is a Pensieve?)
House painting is my least favorite thing to do.There’s so much prep work to be done and I usually find myself saying, “next weekend.” And before I know it twenty weekends have gone by.
As a homeowner though, once you get started on a project you just keep going until it’s done (because otherwise your house looks weird).
This web site is sort of like that. It’s a house that has had the wrong shade of paint for awhile. The theme I had says nothing about me, at all. But I kept putting it off. I’ve been threatening to redesign this site for months now… keep not doing it.
And so, it had to be stripped, DOWN! Got to start somewhere. Old theme is gone and twenty eleven is in it’s place (for now).
It’s like a breath of fresh air to see so much white space. I’m getting tired of over blown, too-much-going-on themes in general. I know how to build child themes now, so.. cool.. let’s do it!
Hopefully, it will put a fire under me to get going on this promise to myself. And once I get the outside painted, it’ll be time to re-organize the shelves inside. I’m surprised I get any work when I consider the sorry state of my portfolio pages.
Right. Off to the paint store!
