get the ball through the rising barrier-thingy. trust me, it’s more fun that it sounds.
i can’t figure out what to do, so in the interest on the new design and fresh starts and what have you, i’m going to discard the style switching for now and just go with the new design. you can still see the cool magic menus at index2. she was a good design, may she live on in infamy. [sniffle]
all pages under construction, so check back often.
still don’t know what to do about those special sections. for now…it just sort of gets overlaid and totally sucks. busy packing now and moving next week so i’ll worry about this later. oh yeah, and my photos too. that’ll get dealt with…eventually. maybe. ha!
so this past weekend was…interesting.
friday jon, kate, eric and i went to ravinia to see the ben folds and rufus wainwright concert. good times were had – there was hard lemonade and guiness and wine, plus chinese food and chee-tos.
saturday was the Last Cookout at Andrew’s place – he, trevor and dave a parting ways (at least for now)…i guess their landlord is sort of an ick-day. there were bratwurst and i had some mudslide that kate brought.
afterwards eric and i met up with ben, sara and ben’s friend (from galesburg) matt at the diversey rock ‘n bowl. fran had just driven up from florida and found an apartment that very morning so she came out too, sort of to celebrate. and also, we hadn’t seen each other for a year!…except. that halfway through the second game…fran’s purse was stolen. from where it was all of 2 feet away (at most) from where she and i were sitting.
and then came the suckiness.
what am i going to do with all of this extra stuff (right hand side of red & yellow design) in the new design??? it doesn’t fit ANYWHERE!!
the style switcher works works sometimes, but because i’m still fiddling with the new design, you won’t might not be able to switch back to the red & gold design from the new one. sorry.
i am working on alternate style sheets and whatnot so the site may be a bit wonky for the next week or so.
if you haven’t seen/used them yet, check out the super jewel boxes at jewelboxing. if i ever got my butt in gear and actually made a reel, this is what i’d use for the packaging.
also check out the examples + inspirations section. lots of cool stuff, including one guy who printed all of his inserts and labels with a letterpress. damn. that guy is kick-ass.
if you haven’t actually seen an ocean liner, this is just about as good as being there. kevin hulsey is a technical illustrator and what we in ‘the biz’ refer to as “a pimp.” check out his How To for this german cruise ship which took 9 hours to export from illustrator. the level of detail here is unfathomable…i mean – his carpet samples!
Overview
‘azkaban’ is by far the best harry potter film yet. it is visually striking, well acted and well told, especially considering how much had to be left out or condensed.
