So I had an Idea

So I had an idea the other day. As usual it hit me in the middle of the night so I couldn't sleep. I was thinking of some way to grab attention when I send my resume out to graphic design jobs. Sending out just a piece of paper doesn't set you apart in any field so if you can make it stand out the better. Unfortunately since I want to work in a creative field, just changing the colour or font or whatnot just won't cut it. So I started to think about making something like a folder. It could hold the resume and a portfolio CD. The folder itself would need a bright, eye catching design to it or at least something cool about it. So I thought why not do something like this:



Unsurprisingly, I thought it was a cool idea. Putting it together took some time and I'm thinking I'll take the same idea and put it toward making a new style for the blog. Though that'll mean it'll happen before the zombie design I've been working on since the other two and not getting that up first blows the idea of the internet trifecta which is pirates, ninjas and zombies. Though really, the internet has five main popular figures:

1)Monkey
2)Pirate
3)Ninja
4)Zombie
5)Robot

And that's not including the long term fads, like Chuck Norris (If you can see Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris, you may be seconds away from death.)

I've got the Monkey covered on everything so that means I have the zombie and robots to go. So I have to finish zombie design as well as the new idea of a comic design, but also a robot design I forgot about to complete the popular internet figures.

Good thing I enjoy this. - asmyth82 1:49 AM - (0) comments

Around the World in What Seemed Like Eighty Years

So I finally got around to getting a main site up. After what seemed like forever of having nothing but a splash image up, it's good to have something replace it. It's not perfect, I don't like the design as I do these, but for a few hours work it's not bad. The stupid thing is it would have been done in half the time had I not stupidly built it too large forcing me to shrink it down to a size better suited for a more universal size.

Problems with it? Lack of colour. It's very brown without much contrast. Plus there is no flash use whatsoever and that would really help for no other reason than to demonstrate we're skilled with flash.

Aside from that, which really, is not a huge deal since it can be modified and changed since that is the nature of the beast, it's good. It's a start. It's about time.

And now we go to Larry with the latest forcast update

Just an update to refresh the top of the page.

Nothing new really. More like stuck in a rut.

Yeah...that's about it.
