Design

Dr. Floyd's Lab

Posted on Wednesday, January 9, 2008 at 12:06:41 AM.



This is currently a work in progress.

I'm waiting on more content and a few more images, but it's mostly done.

I went for a clean, fast, minimalistic approach since it's just a very simple informational site about the lab.

White, since that's the color commonly associated with laboratories and cleanliness, and the green the color of UAB's logo and such.

Anyway, suggestions are greatly welcomed.

Zoned Out

Posted on Saturday, November 24, 2007 at 07:57:17 PM.

I was laying in bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking, pondering, zoned out, ya know...

**edit:
I'm very curious about something. How do these two images make you feel?

One Global Community Logo

Posted on Friday, March 2, 2007 at 02:08:24 AM.

I did a logo and layout for this guy. It's a non-profit organization, so I was really reluctant to accept, as he can't pay me much if anything. He sent me some posters of his paintings in exchange for this logo and website design. I won't post the design here since in the end the deal didn't work out, but I'll post the logo and header image for the website though. He needs me to add content and maintain it, and I just can't. That's not what I do. I've already set him up with a CMS and the layout is done, but he's used to Frontpage. Later we may work something else out though.


You can actually see some screenshots of me working on this here.

Self Portrait - Burn

I got bored this afternoon and took a shot of myself in my favorite shirt. I played with it for a while in GIMP, and this is the outcome. I really like the effect. I'm using this as my avatar now.

Minimalism

Posted on Friday, March 2, 2007 at 01:47:26 AM.

I did this layout around Christmas of '06 out of boredom. I really really like the outcome, and as of the time of writing this, this is the layout I'm currently using. With this layout, I also finished my CMS and it is what powers this site. No, you cannot have the source, don't ask. No, I will not help you write your own, don't ask. Use Google and PHP.net.


The inspiration for this layout was a previous layout that I did. I took the simplistic square idea and gave it a twist. This layout is fully fluid to a certain point. As you resize your text, the whole layout resizes. If you shrink your browser window, the layout should also resize to fit. However, if you have a high resolution, it won't be 100% width for aesthetic reasons.

Not a Communist

Posted on Friday, March 2, 2007 at 01:43:26 AM.

There's this ongoing joke that I'm a communist hippie because I had long hair, a beard, and I use Linux. I took that, twisted it, and used it as inspiration for a layout. I never did use this idea in the end, but I did use the simplicity idea for the next layout I did.
