Adventures in design
Once in a blue moon, web development looks like this. (In case you can’t make it out: that’s one ginormous spreadsheet getting prepped for importing to WordPress.)
Just launched: Glasswater Theatre’s shiny (if I do say so myself) new website, as they gear up for their Toronto Fringe show this summer. Beautiful handwritten page titles courtesy of Samantha Harding.
Tax season: the only time of year it kind of sucks to be self-employed. At least I’m being kept company.
Taking some liberties with geographical accuracy. (This may or may not be related to an earlier logo teaser.)
A corner of a logo that may end up looking nothing like this. When you’re designing an identity for a fictional organisation, the possibilities are endless!
Going through my font library for a new identity project, this is the bit where I inevitably giggle to myself. (Closely followed by the wonderful Curlz MT, of course.)
Exchanged some of my presents for a brick of a book on the fundamentals of typography. It’ll come in handy for my next few projects, this one included.
Launched in the wee hours of last night: the new home of My Entertainment World, a WordPress-based multi-branch site covering seven different areas of entertainment and with a whole lot of conditional PHP logic. I also got to design the icons for each branch. Probably my biggest project to date and so much fun!
My final assignment for my HTML/CSS course, featuring two services I’ve always wanted to use but didn’t think would be appropriate for client work: Bacon Ipsum and Placekitten. My instructor thanked me for introducing him to them. (I’m currently formalising my self-taught education with Ryerson University’s web design/dev course series and enjoying it immensely, even though I haven’t learned too many new things so far. Next term: Javascript!)
