Design
.Net Magazine Feature
I am pleased to announce that my write-up about church web design will be featured in the June 2008 issue of .Net Magazine. Despite the similarity in name, it is not affiliated with (or related to) Microsoft’s .NET framework.
I was privileged to be one of three designers to participate in a “build-off,” crafting a hypothetical home page for a real or fictitious place of worship. To expedite the artistic process, I chose my own church, Spring Valley UMC.
Christ Fellowship Redux
Like most people, I was quite busy during the Christmas season, but perhaps for different reasons. Due to an unfortunate circumstance my wife and I were unable to travel to visit my family as planned.
Church of the Resurrection
I’m glad to say that Church of the Resurrection has re-launched their site. I did the site design and front-end code several months ago, and since then they have been converting thousands of pages of content to the new design.
50 Designers, 6 Questions
Smashing Magazine, a blog dedicated to covering helpful design and development resources, just turned 1 year old this week. To celebrate, they are having a book give-away. They also asked a series of questions of top web designers, for an article entitled 50 Designers x 6 Questions. It’s well worth the read, especially because many people more talented than myself took the time to share their thoughts.
Stonebriar Relaunch
I am happy to report that the redesign of Stonebriar Community Church has gone live. It was designed by Chris Merritt, so all credit goes to him for the amazing visuals. David Lanier was responsible for implementing everything in the enterprise CMS, TYPO3.
The Geniant Blog
I am happy to say that the Geniant blog is now up and running. I played the role of developer on this one, changing *.psd files into living XHTML and CSS which I then cut up into includes and ported into Textpattern.
Logo Re-Birth
Update: In case there was any doubt, this was an April fool’s joke.
One thing that always bothered me about my own site was the lack of a unique logo. Sure, I’ve done branding for other projects but when it comes to designing for myself, it’s always considerably tougher. That’s why I am happy to share that as of today, SonSpring now has a shiny new logo.
Meridian Communications
As the regular readers of my site might already know, I used to live not too far from Lexington, KY where I was attending graduate school. From time to time, I get an email from someone in that local area asking if either I can do some contract web work for them, or if I know of anyone who would be a good resource to work with.
Anchorman
Update: Since the question had been raised – I used Trade Gothic Bold for Andrew’s name in the branding. The secondary serif font in the tagline is Garamond, which comes pre-installed on most operating systems. I chose it for the hanging capital “J” because I thought it lended a bit of elegance.
At the risk of type-casting myself, I have done another single page website.
Scary Website
Just when I think things on the Internet can’t get any more freaky, out of the blue, I get a link via chat with a friend to the Newburgh Assembly of God. There I am greeted by a talking vectorized Jesus that looks like this…
Curious what type of a service would allow their customers to create a Jesus that says whatever they want, I clicked on over to SitePal.
