Design Updates

I took on a new web design project a couple weeks ago for Media Design Coporation (as of today 1/19 I still haven’t touched the actual site, so what you see is the page in its original form). I created a nice, simple template which I’m waiting for feedback on. I’m quite pleased with it–this is one of the first sites I’ve done that hasn’t fallen victim to my terrible habit of over-design (and I could have linked that keyword “over-design” to any number of the other sites I’ve done…).

And speaking of design, my site underwent a minor CSS change last weekend. I’d seen some nice things out there lately and I was getting sick of my old look. I’m now using some bolder colors and fewer graphics.

Also, this past weekend I did a minor re-design of the Kennedy Collection site in order to follow ‘best practices,’ i.e., not use red text on a black background. I’m really happy with the results–the home page still needs some content and of course the artifact galleries themselves need to be filled in with titles and descriptions, but the look & feel of the site is good. Very DBK.

Random comment: iPod greatly improves the quality of my work and, more importantly, the quality of my mood.
