Just a short update on how things are going in 2009. I have made a few enhancements to the website, as well as throwing around a few ideas for a redesigns. I was quite seriously contemplating starting again from scratch as part of a re-branding exercise, however I found my work accredited in a UX Booth article which really made me reconsider the situation. This coupled with reading a fantastic article on smashing magazine that basically states good designers redesign, great designers realign, got me to thinking, my best bet would be to enhance the package I already have and put my niggles aside.
One of the first steps to doing that has been to change the branding of theodin logo. I decided to step away from the harsh uppercase style as I perceived this to be too overwhelming and did nothing for the senses.
Aside from this I have been busy on some other freelance projects which I hope to share with you soon. I have also been reading a fanstatic book by elliot jay stocks called sexy web design, usually I am not a fan of books on web, In fact the last and only other book I bought was PHP, from novice to professional on Apress publications, I must have picked the book up twice at most, and that was the start and end of it. This book however is very different, and probably dare I say it, one of the best I have read on the subject of web design. I picked it up on amazon and to be honest it has been worth every penny.
I hope to write again shortly when I have a few more projects to show off, in the mean time, I hope you like the new logo. answers on a postcard!
