The nitty gritty

I claim no right of ownership to the respective company logos and glyphs in each one of these icons.

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. I didn’t want any extra twitter streams, tumblr, posterous, last.fm or any of that other social mumbo jumbo – A few links would suffice.

When building this site, I kept thinking “Audi” or a car with smooth wood and metal inside. Also, I wanted it to tie into the Komodo Media version 4 style with wood and dark colors. I love the Apple profile icon (as does everyone and their dogs apparently), so I wanted to use that, but give it a twist to make it my own. I modified the Apple profile icon to have a backwards/sideways hat, which as some have pointed out to my deficit, I wear all the time.

Custom icons were and have always been very important to me, none of that mainstream stuff. So, I made me a few sweet icons. The best icons, I believe, are in the contact section, so go check them out! I have a few more social network icons to do in the networks area, so be watching for those.

Next, being XHTML Strict and usable was extremely important to me. You may have noticed that when JavaScript is turned off, the site becomes readable as a very tall card and when sections are clicked they moved to a named anchor, thus repositioning the browser to that area. That’s rad. When JavaScript is detected, my favorite library, jQuery takes over and rocks a myriad of animations (hopefully not too many) and makes it all the more smooth. I added some cool nick-knacks such as anchor-section loading, which is a fancy way to say that the JavaScript detects the anchor loaded and loads the appropriate section. Also check out the hover effect on the profile dude – it’s fun ;)

Last, I’ve used CSS tricks from CSS3 to add text shadows to give that inset/letterpress look and a ton of PNG transparent images. Enough already, check it out online or read more over in the portfolio.

I know this much. Lists like this really help me. I’m typically an out-of-the-loop sort of fella, so by the time I find cool stuff, it’s years later than the crowd. So, maybe, just maybe this will help you stay in the loop:

Add to that the fact that they are making some of the sweetest iPhone apps out there. In the words of @ridlo, this is the swisstastic hotness.

After working on Daily Mugshot, Keith Gould approached me about creating an iPhone application to allow users to take their pictures daily using their iPhone camera. With my obvious affinity for Apple products, there was no convincing needed and the work started right away.

Keith wanted something that reflected the fun and vibrant nature that the Daily Mugshot users had come to love and he wasn’t afraid to go with a more non-conventional iPhone UI look. The end result turned out pretty dang good and is available on the iTunes store for free.

It was a total blast to work on my first iPhone application design and I’m stoked to do another. In fact, there may be one already being worked on ;). Have a look-see over in the portfolio section to see more and download it on the iPhone for free if you want.

I’ll post more on what I learned in the designing process as well as releasing some freebies, so stay tuned. As for now, I’m a tired boy and I’m gonna take a rest. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think!

I’d like to announce a project that I have been working on over the past couple of months: Dailymugshot.com. I designed the site and all interface widgets for Keith Gould, the owner and mind behind the site. Dailymugshot is a site, inspired by YouTube videos, where people took a picture of themselves every day for years. The result is this phenomenal video where you can see people aging, changing, going through different fads, etc. It’s really pretty cool.

The videos seem great, but would take tremendous dedication to keep it up – you might think that this seems a pretty daunting task. I personally don’t have the ambition to take my picture every day, line them up, animate them and create a movie out of them. The cool thing is that Dailymugshot takes all of the hard work out of it for you, even reminders – thats right, they have a reminder application for both win and macs, so you don’t have to remember to take your mugshot.

I think that this very sweet web application is gonna take off. I think it is creative, fun and becomes what you make of it. You want to wear a different outfit each day – cool. Are you losing weight and want to see how much your face/body thins out over 2 months? Great. Do you want to show your friends on MySpace what you look like every day? Use Dailymugshot.

Mad props go out to Keith for building this and having the ambition to do it. He has worked long, hard and late hours to pull this project off. If you think its cool, I’m sure he’d love a shout out to keep him going.

P.S. The site just went live and the cutest boy in the world in the picture above is my son, Jameson.

I made this bad boy live and I have much to fix and redo, however I would appreciate all of your comments and criticism. I would love to hear what you think. If you think the site is confusing or you feel that you have a great idea that could contribute to the overall merry-ness of this site, then by all means do so, no matter how beginner of a designer that you feel you are. Also, if you see any missing content, please let me know. All comments are appreciated :)

Just to let you know about things not yet done on this site:

• Portfolio: The portfolio section still contains my old style. I think I am going to move it away from flash and into the html world.
• Tweaks & Nitpickiness: There are quite a few margin/padding and misalignments. I still would appreciate you commenting on them, but realize that I know this thing ain’t perfect.
• Music Section: Parts of the music section aren’t perfect. Still gotta get those done.

In addition to criticism, if you love/like the design, please say so. Thank you for your visit :)
