April Studio Activities

Slow on the posting around here latley, eh? The studio has seen a little bit of activity over the last couple weeks.

I’ve been building a new portfolio web site (Finally). In the 11 years that I’ve been doing “professional” work as a new media designer/art director/animator, I’ve never had the need to put together a “professional” portfolio site. Even though I still don’t “need” one, I decided it was high time for one. It gave me another chance to sharpen my CSS and Expression Engine chops. I have yet to populate the new site with the actual content, but the basic structure is complete.

I also had the opportunity to work on a motion graphics piece for a lobby display at Adobe.

Then I rebuilt Chris Cooper’s Blue Seven Audio web site. A while back I built a site for his recording studio business (back before I really got a handle on CSS and dynamic CMS-driven sites). So I rebuilt it entirely (wasn’t that big, actually) from the ground up, re-coding the layout in CSS and integrating another implementation of Expression Engine.

On top of all that, I’m still getting down to SJSU once a week for the SHM life drawing sessions.
