Redesign coming along

My redesign has been coming along quite well. Part of what has been slowing things down has been the fact that the last time I updated my portfolio section was some time in 2006. I've completed quite a bit of work since then that I'm actually quite proud of. Therefore, figuring out a way to organize everything has been a little challenging.

I've been surfing around and looking at different photographer and ad exec portfolio pages. And while they're very nice, flashy and pretty, they're not me. Warning: Life rant ahead.

I've always thought of myself as a linear creative. I LOVE really nice clean lines, basic gradients and colors and subtle background patterns.

I'm not sure where this grew from. I always dated artists (until Molly and Vita), and most of them liked crazy patterns, bright colors and bigger, bubbly type. For some reason, I always like to paint myself into the background. I don't like to pop too much with my online presence.

K... Back to redesign.

If it's really possible, the site is getting smaller. By smaller I mean more compact. Somehow, I've managed to increase font size (a common complaint of the current design) and still make things more compact. I'll chalk it up to the fact that I've been doing wireframes and skinning for Chevy I guess.

More later. I have a few articles to sift through and three magazines to plan before 11 a.m.
