I never have really thought of using orange in my graphics. How do you like it? I realized that I really like orange. It’s a good color. As you can tell though, there is a new layout up. I have been working on a new layout for about a month, and this was my final product. I went through about 3 other graphics that I just threw out. I really like this one. If anything, it’s a bit too small, but I like that in a way.

My website coding is pissing me off a lot, so it will probably change a lot. I am just experimenting with new things. I have been working in adobe illustrator lately, and messing around with that. It’s an interesting program. I went in with only photoshop skills, and I assumed it would be like photoshop, but DAMN was I wrong. It’s almost completely different. But I am getting the hang of it.

I know you all hate me out there, but I am not going to let that hold me back. I have been a bad webmaster, and I realized that, but I have just been going through a lot of shit in my life, and I just had no time to focus on it. I’ll tell you, growing up is a bitch. But I feel like a lot has changed, and i’m proud of that. I’m doing good in school, i’m not as stressed, and I even had time today to put on my new layout, make a blog, etc. So don’t give up on me. This is my life right here, and I want to impress you all. So stick around.

Well, the new layout is done. How do you like it? This is by far my most meaningful design. How my brains thinks of these things? Thats for me to know, and you to find out.

I hope the new look of this website will attract more viewers. I also hope people will see I don’t give up. Killing in the Name will live on!

If you haven’t noticed, the website has been slightly tweaked. There is a new math question spam blocker thing that you have to answer in order to make a comment. I have thousands of spam comments I have to delete, and this plugin seemed to finally end the spam. So relieveing. It’s not nice to have to delete 4,000 spam comments when you can only delete I think 25 at a time.

So other things you might notice are the status bar is going. I have unfortunately joined the Twitter community, and it will be my new status bar. Feel free to follow me I guess? I think my life is interesting enough and odd enough where you might get a few laughs out of my tweets. And last but not least, you will notice it says 2010 instead of 2009 on the footer. Hell yeah.

Well, this is my new layout. I liked the style of the old one, so I wanted to try that again. Everything was made by me in this layout, except I didn’t make the font, or took the stock photo. Otherwise, everything else was made with the pen tool, scanns, or brushes.

I love this layout. I am not sure if I like the background, but everything else I thing is sweet. Blue is my favorite color, so I wanted to use different shades of blue for this layout. Lately, I have been working a lot with the pen tool, and let me tell you something. The pen tool is the best and most useful tool in photoshop. Learn to use it, it’s worth it. I changed the coding of this layout around a little bit. I didn’t want to change the coding too drastically, but just enough to notice.

My inspiration for this layout was my tv. I was sitting watching tv for a while, and wanted to make a graphic with a tv. I have also found retro things really interesting, so I used a retro tv, and retro font for the layout. I also used a lot of shapes. I find that shapes can also be very cool. Overall, I am very happy with this layout.

On the other hand, I am selling my first website. I am making one for a client who makes hats. I am very excited to finish it. I still have quite a bit of work to do, but my first sale is almost complete. I got such a rush when I showed it to her. I know this is what I want to do with my life. I am absolutely sure I want to become a web and graphic designer.
