For my art site, I believe in having a social media presence on multiple platforms. I also prefer to focus my time creating content for my own site and then share it from there. And of course, I want my content to look good. Currently I have fan pages set up on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, and I also push my new content to my LinkedIn profile. Below are the tools I'm currently using.
Self-Portrait As Your Traitor by Debbie Millman is a gorgeous book filled with visual poetry that I've added to my (long) wish list. Take a look at some of her introspective, visually powerful poems.
I just updated our Twitter page! Check it out!
The new much larger logo really shows off our new bolder monkey head. Soon you'll see it on our website and other social network pages.
Someday I'll have enough wall space in my office to hang a gorgeous Periodic Table of Typefaces poster by Cam Wilde. I think the gray one is my favorite, but I may redesign my hypothetical office in the future.
We are now accepting Bitcoin payments! Developing and testing a Bitcoin eCommerce environment for one of our client has inspired us to join!
Welcome to the first Typography Tuesday! I follow a ton of design blogs to keep up with trends and stay inspired. Every Tuesday I'll share some of my favorite examples of gorgeous typography and unique design. Today's blog easily does both.
I am in love with Food Typography! Not only is the typography beautiful, the lettering style is perfectly chosen to illustrate the words. An elegant, ephemeral combination of form and function. My only complaint is they don't post often enough ;)
Previously Dave talked about why he prefers Drupal from a programmer's perspective. We approach websites completely differently. For example, Dave will write his blog posts in html and I prefer a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) style editor.
I first ventured into website design in the late 90s while working at a haunted house in Chicago. Dreamweaver was new and its interface looked like a lot of the video, photo, and design programs I was familiar with. It didn't take long before I wanted to do more than the program could handle. Dave swooped in and did some custom code, I learned some html, and I was able to make my ideas work.
Recently we built a website that uses the Location and GMap Drupal modules. Our customer is an artist and we wanted to do something slick that matches the style of her site.
