Thoughts from video editing today…

Posted in Design, Work at 6:32 pm by Ben

I’m thinking this video project could have used a bit more pre-planning with the video editor and DVD producer. AKA, me. I mean what we’re getting is good. But it could have been more…

Update: Actually not bad at all. It’s not going to win any of those high-falutin’ design/movie awards but it’s going to do the job and look good while doing it.

Brings a smile. If only all our clients or art directors could be so honest, upfront, and most importantly, lovable.

Updated design

Posted in Design, Personal at 10:19 pm by Ben

A new design for my portfolio and a new design for the blog. This has been, unfortunately, too long in coming due to life, work, and a general laziness on my part. I think what finally drove me to finish it up and get the new designs online was a sense of exhaustion from the demands of work – I needed to do something different. Looking at my source code, in particular at my stylesheet for this WordPress theme, I’m sure you’ll note that I’ve done little for that headache of a browser that is Internet Explorer 6. The reasons are quite simple – I wanted to do something beyond catering to the lowest common denominator, something I didn’t have to make design compromises for and also something that could explore the capabilities of modern browsers. I know I’ll probably be revisiting the WordPress theme, as right now it’s a tad to “minimalist” to my taste. Although in webkit-powered browsers you’ll find some nice subtle goodies.

But enough for now. Does it work? Anything messed up and needing fixing? Let me know about it in the comments.
