Blog

A place where I can display designs, experiments or thoughts that have no where else to go or are too crap to put on my portfolio.

Portfolio Design

I have been attempting to re-design my site. I’ve tried to go for an information rich site and more expressive than a more simple showcase of work approach, which I find a bit dull and far too common place. Hopefully my design will have a bit of originality to it, with some of my own personal style. Style as in design style. If it was dress sense, it would prob look like a hobo.

Anyway, from a technical point of view, I plan to include a fair bit of of AJAX + PHP actionoly to it and probably some Mootools or JQuery ‘fun’. Mainly as a learning exercise but also to improve functionality. I also wanted to have a user rating system for all work and blog posts but I may have to leave this til later, as it’s already going to be pretty darn brain intensive.

Here is a sneak preview of the site so far:

The decline of my blog posts and re-design

Category: Bio, Design, General on Thursday January 3rd, 2008 @ 14:40

Creative Binge posts have slowed to say the least to more of a creative slurge or rather slow drip. Even Ed Stelmach has regained his thrown as top Stelmach of Google, putting aside his Alberta responsibilities and taking a moment to laugh heartily, wallowing in his success.

Since my Facebook in 40 years thing that got on the digg.com front page and loads of other sites, I got a steady flow of Facebook friend invites. I think someone has copied me too with this Pension Book, it is better than mine, but has a bit of an abusive angle to it, which I’m not that keen on.

After that I mainly posted items that consisted of sick or had atleast some relation to eating disorders (see example). These were not as popular and soon the posts dried up, much like the sick, a stale remnant, slowly eroding away.

But, the future is bright, I am currently re-designing my website as this one has become almost embarrassing. It’s never a good sign when you fear people looking at your site so it must be changed.

This one is dated, with the next one I aim for a clean, modern and sophisticated look. I also want to add some nice features such as rated content, more dynamic info going on such as a Rant Box, comments on portfolio work and latest site updates so people can see what’s new. I want to highlight my Flash games more too, as people always seem to like them.

From a technical point, I’d like to maybe get in a bit of jquery actionoly in but it’s thinking of a reason, I don’t like features for features sake, there has to be a use. I keep getting alured by Flash CS3’s mobile phone support too. I would love to make some of my games available on mobile phones and it looks pretty easy, but this will have to wait.
