Good News Bad News

So it looks as though I will be changing my entire site theme again. I did not want to but I am left with no other choice. Recently, I went through a lot critique with my design work and the consensus was that my designs were too dark or enclosing.

In order to battle this idea about me I had to go about changing my identity. I did most of this through color. Here is an example of the feel I will now be promoting for myself:

From Student to Professional

This is my last semester at John Brown University. After I graduate I will be considered a professional. What a weird thought, heh? This is a mighty transition for me. I am currently preparing my portfolio in order to apply for several jobs within the coming months. It can be really frightening some times thinking about the future. I am in a position that I have always been uncomfortable with: the unknown. Even so, I have found this peace:

We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man. – Hebrews 8:1-2

Christ has gone before me; he is on the throne. The future is not mine to worry about. The future belongs to the Lord.

I have learned a lot during my education. I now have the assets needed to perform well in my field. The Lord is preparing the way for me. I have to trust what he has for me, and what he does not have for me.

If you come across this article, stop what you are doing and reflect on this: The Lord is on the Throne.

Styling for the Blog Completed

I just finished the blog portion of the website this evening. There are a few style issues I may run across at later dates, but I am considering it complete for now. Once I am finished with the entire website theme, I hope to show you the amount of work that went into the CSS styling.

There is more than you might think.

Blog Additions

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. – Genesis 1:1

I have added a new banner for the blog and I am beginning the styling for that now. I hope to have the blog portion completed by the end of this week. The next step is to finish the design of my portfolio. The theme will not take long, actually that’s done, it is the compiling of my new portfolio projects that will take the longest. The portfolio section of my website will be changing significantly.

Showing the Process

The concept I have in mind is to show the process of how I create my designs. I know this will be a lot of work but it will hopefully make me more intentional about my portfolio selections and more aware of my process.

New Website Theme

After several years of the same design theme, I have finally updated. I wish I could have updated the new theme a long time ago, but all the freelance requests I had coming in pushed this task to the end of the queue. I finally have caught up on things and had time to start implementing the new theme. I really want to have all the pages completed by January because I will be starting my job search then.

Things to look forward too:

I will start adding tutorials and useful web applications as time permits. I have learned a great deal and it is about time I give back to the web community. I am hoping with the additions to attract new users and start a community discussing interface and graphic design.

2010 let’s begin.
