Man I should probably incorporate lightbox into my site. It would be good for showing off the samples on my resume.
Yep. This is a no brainer. It seems like everything uses this effect for showing off images, and it’s no wonder why… it looks great and is more user-friendly than having to hit the back button. Looks a lot more professional.
I added a little gallery to my resume. People like to see some samples, right?
My favorite by far is the pic of the Speedy Spots billboard, which went up a few weeks ago. I’m not sure I’d go as far as to call something like this “art”, but it’s still pretty awesome. I hear spots I’ve worked on all the time on radio/tv, but it’s sort of a new experience to see something you worked on go up on a 20 foot long sign by the highway.
Hey check out this new business card I designed:
I’ve recently fallen in love with Eurostile LT for use in some of my personal branding. For such a modern, functional font, it packs a lot of character (pun intended).
Changing up the format a bit here folks. Decided I can give back to the internet by posting some how-to type stuff.
To kick things off, I want to bring up Drum In Hat brakes. I first learned about these the hard way when attempting to change the rotors on my 2006 Jeep Liberty.
Another hour, another small step forward. Tonight I installed WP locally so I can practice theme development. I installed it to the root folder of my MAMP setup. Then I decided I really wanted it under a subdirectory, in case I wanted to add more installs later. NO DICE! WordPress is made very unhappy if you try to do that. So then I followed the step-by-step on the WP Codex for the proper method of moving to a new directory… and no luck. Tried several times, had to keep manually editing the database to reset it after each failure. So, for now I’m just going to work with it as is, and maybe at some point in the future I’ll figure the rest of it out.
