But it&#8217;s also designed to (2) provide a way for us provide resource tips and status reports for our existing customers.\u00a0 Finally, (3) we wanted to use this site as a hub for students and visitors who are interested in the field of graphic design to just come by and check stuff out.<\/p>\n<p>Simple as that.<\/p>\n<h3>Blog<\/h3>\n<p>The blog on the homepage is a collection of work that inspires me. I don&#8217;t believe good design comes from sitting in my own bubble and just doing the same work over and over again. To reach new levels I think any good designer has to look outward at things that might shock or inspire me to do better than I ever did before. I offer you, my reader, a chance to view into my world, if only to grab your attention and get you thinking about the world of design.<\/p>\n<h3>Site Design<\/h3>\n<p>Credit for building this WordPress-driven website goes out to a talented artist I&#8217;ve admired from abroad by the name of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ndesign-studio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nick La<\/a>. (I think he&#8217;s a brilliant illustrator).<\/p>\n<p>Why didn&#8217;t I do this site myself?\u00a0 Well, frankly I&#8217;ve tried a half dozen times over the last 2 years and I can&#8217;t seem to please myself. I&#8217;m my own worst critic. So my tactic was to listen to my own advice, &#8220;Use something that works, rather then wasting time trying to make everything perfect&#8230;figure out the rest later&#8221;\u00a0 We wanted a site run using a WordPress CMS and this was the result.\u00a0 (If you&#8217;re a WordPress pro&#8230;.contact us, I may need you from time to time for other projects!)<\/p>\n<p>I hope you find this site easy to use and you find the information you&#8217;re looking for.
