I have been a terrible webmaster since I launched my portfolio site in the summer of 2007. It has only been updated a handful of times in nearly 3 years!! If there was a RSPCW (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Websites), they would most likely find me guilty of neglect. So it was time to give the old dog a bit of a spruce up.
Reading through the content and flicking through some of my older work made me realise, this no longer represents me as a designer. My approach to design has changed drastically in the last few years.
Unfortunately I just can’t seem to find the time for a full redesign, mainly because we have been working flat out at Rumble Labs on Onotate. So instead I decided to rewrite the content, update my portfolio, remove a shit load of ‘bloat’ and implement some subtle design tweaks. Changes include… A twitter feed on the homepage, some css3 drop shadows and the odd white outline to lift design elements.
You can see before and after screen shots below or take a look for yourself.
Before: 2007
After: 2010
I will be using my tumblr as an activity stream. Occasionally I might even post the odd blog entry, but don’t hold me to that :)
