Jazz Events Poster
Image
Jazz Events Announcement - Adobe Photoshop CS6 - - - Difficulty scale! Adding color to a poster.... versus fitting a freakishly large amount of type on a limited space and still making it legible.

An English Garden - Poster
Image
An English Garden - Choral Concert - Adobe Photoshop CS6 - - - Finally figured out a template for the choir director that he's happy with.

I don't really have any comments regarding Labor Day. Barely crossed my mind today. This post isn't about that. I just have some thoughts and comments. Letters and words.

Vertical Image Test

Swear-tuh-god, I have been working on this website for 5+ hours every evening for the past three nights. Between domain mapping and column widths and sidebar troubleshooting...

coffee shop musings

I really need to spend some time cleaning up my blog. It's like washing my face. I should buckle down and buy the fancy cleanser and wash every morning. But laziness rears its drowsy head and just throwing some random CSS coding feels "good enough for now." I'm more thoughtful... Continue reading
