Redesigning my first ever project

Design February 17, 2009 7 comments

A long, long time ago, when html was html, tables were the sh*t, and hover effect on links was the hottest thing out there, I made a website. Specifically it was my first “real” project, where I would actually receive some sort of compensation, and it was for my local golf club where I actively play, Stavanger Golf Club.

I’ve been a Busy Bee

On friday evening, I had a little time to myself, so instead of doing the normal stuff (tv, movies or misbehaving in town), I decided to start up Photoshop. I know that sounds incredibly geeky, and I won’t deny that it is… but I enjoyed the heck out of it :)

A couple of beers later and I had a new theme designed for WooThemes, and we’re planning on releasing it sometime in December. Let me know what you think!

Using Coded Preview with design drafts

Design November 14, 2008 8 comments

coded-previewI found a great tool for web designers to use with clients or just for themselves when you want to display a photoshop draft (or any image) as it would look in your browser.

The old way of doing this would be to upload a full size image and then give your client the link. This is fine and dandy, but some clients use IE7 that uses the zoom feature on images that are larger than their browser window. You also have to live with the borders around the image.

This is where Codedpreview steps in and does the job for you. It’s quite simple to upload your image and then add your background color or even a repeating background image. I just added a top navigation to my own blog today, but I wanted to see how it would look in a browser first.

Isn’t this a much better way of presenting your drafts to your clients?
