What you’ll be getting is some short posts. I don’t necessarily have the time to go into long drawn-out reasons or information about why I made the design decisions I did. So I’ll do quick stuff. In fact, a bulleted list seems like a great way to handle this!

Diag 1: World’s Ugliest Logo?The time had come to change my online portfolio. Previous editions were seperated into a FILM site and a Graphic Design site, as these are the two major things I do. At least, for a living. Both of these just sat on my server, with nary a change at all, since I relocated to Austin in July of 2007. But then, there was a little bit of extortion, and I was forced into action. What’s Mine is Mine, bro!One of my domain names had lapsed. Only a few days, but eitherway, I’d just simply forgotten to renew it. So I headed over to WHOIS, and typed in the URL, and lo and behold, it was still registered to me. I called the world’s largest, biggest, ugliest logo’d, and gaudily advertised domain registrar in the world, GoDaddy, and asked them what steps needed to be taken. I figured there’d be a nominal fee, but considering they charge $8.99 for domain name registration, it couldn’t be more than $19.95 or similar, right? Wrong. |
