Google has decided to discontinue the ability to use FTP uploads for externally hosted blogger sites. So I was forced to make the move to wordpress. It’s actually been in place for a few months but haven’t really set it up and imported all my blogger posts. But here it is.
Well I’ve had to switch servers, which is always a fun task. It’s almost all back up now. The site and blog are good to go and I’m going to have to rebuild the portfolio unfortunately, but it will get there.
Stick with me…
Often times I turn to books, magazines, or anything else I happen to come across for ideas. Joey, from Wrecked Magazine, pointed out and poked fun a little bit at my taking of random pics with my blackberry’s camera. The truth of the matter is, you never know what or where inspiration may come from. It doesn’t have to come from one particular image or scene that you come across but… that one image or scene could just help add that missing element in a project you’ve been working on.
But other than pictures I take, one of the main sources I have been using lately to get creatively inspired is this series of books. I have two so far, 1000 Type Treatments and 1000 Graphical Elements, both put together by Wilson Harvey and published by Rockport Publishing. They offer such a diverse range of real world works that you’ll never have a creative dry spell again. Check them out.
I “stumbled” upon this a while back. This is a really great series of cheat sheets designed to help you with remembering all those tags and other web design info that can be hard to recall at times.
