• Vote for Komodo Media!

  Apr 15 98 competition, design, tweetie, wpwebhost

  

  Deja vu? No, this is a bit different this time around. Last time, I was in a contest hosted by WPWebHost for Coolest blog powered by Wordpress and I won! I gave away everything. That’s right, I gave away all of the prizes and I gave away the money to Intermountain Children’s Home . It was an amazing experience, made possible by you.

  I’ll make it short this time. Komodo Media is now in the “Best Wordpress Design Contest” running for best Hand-drawn style. That’s right baby. Komodo Media was all done by hand, no stock graphics here ;) This time, granted I win, I’m gonna keep the cash for a much-needed video card upgrade for my wife and I’s late night habits of video game playing. All I’m askin’ is for a vote.

  Will you vote for Komodo Media?

• Adeptiv UI Iconset

  Apr 03 7 design, Fireworks, icon, Illustrator

  

  andCulture needed a smooth and silky set of 36 icons for an Adobe Flex web application that they had been working on. I was happy to provide them with this icon set and it was a great learning experience, as it was my very first icon set to design for Komodo Media.

• Squared Eye

  Mar 26 8 design, Illustration, Inspiration, Squared Eye

  

  Holy flippin’ hamsters, this site is beautiful. I don’t know if I’ve seen a site that I love every “square” inch, but I sure do with Squared Eye. From it’s calming hues, to it’s sexy image preview tool tips, to it’s subtle fading navigation, I love it all!

  I love the cartoony, yet professional feel – something that I don’t even know if I know how to nail yet. With it’s generous use of white-space, large fonts, smooth-yet-subtle animations and the whale with ear-to-ear grins (I guess I’m loving hyphens), and gratuitous use of Archer, I dig this site big time.

  Do check it out. Do tell them that it is hot. Do make a site that is original, fun and smooth like theirs. Do subscribe to this site’s feed now, ’cause more inspiration is coming. Rock the free world.

  Last time around, I won and gave it all away! This time, I think I’m gonna try to go for it and blow [...]

• Twitter Avatars I Love

  Feb 02 54 avatar, design, social networks, Twitter

  Many may already know that I love Twitter. As a designer coming across a few Twitter accounts every day and talking to users on Twitter every day, I love finding creative and memorable avatars. An avatar is a picture that identifies a user’s online image or as dictionary.com says it, an avatar is:
  “an embodiment or [...]

• Rogieking.com

  Jan 25 10 Animation, CSS3, design, Icons, jQuery, Microformats, xHTML

  

  Just wanted to show y’all (Oh no, living in Montana is changing me – I said y’all) some of the new work that I have done. I really wanted an online business card that reflected my personality, aesthetically tight, narrow (I love narrow sites) and to the point…

• TimVanDamme.com

  Jan 17 16 apple, business card, design, Inspiration, Rogie King, Tim Van Damme

  
  I’m going to write about a very obvious inspiration, which is Tim Van Damme’s site: timvandamme.com. This site very obviously has design cues taken from Apple’s design style, yet it feels it’s own some how. Rarely do I see a site and am compelled to design based off of that inspiration. It takes something special, something I’m not even sure of the recipe for, yet something I love to spark me to model one of my own creations based off of that creation. Tim’s site did that for me. I loved the simplicity and single focusedness of this site. I love that it serves one purpose. I love that it is clear and direct. I love that it is beautiful.

• Friendship Baptist Church

  Dec 01 Comments Off CSS2, design, Logo, xHTML

  About a year ago, my church Friendship Baptist had approached me to create a website design for them. As all churches these days seem, they needed a website…and they finally got one. With all free work, I find it very hard to get it done alongside paying work, so I approached this one a bit [...]
