http://www.flickr.com/photos/ianstyles/"



Tuesday, December 1, 2009

just a test

oh yeah!

Well it's Tuesday and..

If you didn't see what I posted yesterday I'm going to quote it again. Just because.

"When clients say, "Design and do what you want" do they actually know what that means? Or saying "you have full creative freedom" but then they make changes to the design (ie: taking the fun out of your designs) Someone needs to write a book explaining to clients what that actually means.."

Anyways onto something fun.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a website for Lucia Picerno but I have the Dieline link if you want an interview..

40 top ranked flash sites

Some incredible things here:

http://creativefan.com/40-top-ranked-flash-websites-showcase/

I wonder...

When clients say, "Design and do what you want" do they actually know what that means? Or saying "you have full creative freedom" but then they make changes to the design (ie: taking the fun out of your designs) Someone needs to write a book explaining to clients what that actually means..

Anyways it's Monday and it's snowing outside so I figure it's time for something fresh. Check this website design (as well as the content).

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

November 11. Lest we forget.

Well I just got back from the Ottawa, Canada remembrance day ceremony. Was really, really good and always humbling to see. BUT, people need to show some more respect IMO. for example, yapping through the moment of silence. Honestly now. Have a little courtesy for the people that ACTUALLY want to think about the people who gave their lives for our freedom. Or the fact that people were always walking through the crowd halfway through the ceremony and disturbing everyone doing it. See the first example about common courtesy. And dog owners, this one is for you. Knowing that there is going to be a 21 gun salute, why would you even think about bringing your dog out? So it can jump around, freaking out the whole time?

All in all it was a great ceremony and I'm looking forward to next years.

In the meantime I will give you a sneak peak of the new Music Village site that I am designing.
