Saw this poster at Broadway Video today, and instantly thought of it when I saw your giveaway.

Now, if I only had some sort of fashionable accessory to carry my designy things in...

What do you mean? I haven't seen any of the L word. I think we're going to
have to watch it when you're finally back in the WA. :)

What did you use for the accordion? Is that a self-coded script? Or did you get it from a place like mootools? Love it as a non-traditional navigation technique. Very hot. Especially with the colors. The rollovers just feel satisfying.

I only have two main points of criticism.

1. I might lean away from putting so much personal stuff on the main panel of your professional site. You could put a touch of it somewhere, like maybe a single twitter post or a link in your contact/about, but I would definitely steer away from too much of your personal life being on there, because it could steer away potential clients. Potential solution: reserve your main panel for some sort of large graphic logo that shows your style and acts as a hook to grab viewers and make them want to view the other panels. Inject some of your personality in there. Also, might be a good thing to include an about page, to tell possible clients about your mission and about you as a designer.

2. The designs in your design samples section look good, but that simple viewer really doesn't show them off as much as they deserve. Not sure how you should handle that optimally, but it's not working for me.

A link for you to chew on as food for thought (as well as the authors follow up article listed at the bottom of the page): http://astheria.com/design/...

Hope that helps. =]

I love this one. It sort of called to me, but I'll have to hold off cause I'm poor. Great work Aja. I look forward to seeing more.

What a fabulous header font! ;)

The technicolor sherbert rainbow isn't quite my taste, but it looks good none the less. Bravo. I love the wikipedia explanation of tumblogs.

You're very welcome. I also have to say, thanks for leaving comments. It makes me feel less like a design nerd with too much time on my hands, and more like a real blogger. "Look ma! I'm a real blogger!" :)

It's even better at a private art college. Gag me with a spoon. lol.

Museo, I believe 300 weight. Had a hardon for Museo for months now, just because it's such a unique slab serif. Three weights of it can be found free at the type designers website: http://www.josbuivenga.demo...

Yeah, but it was sort of funny, a girl I work with was making fun of my nerdiness. I can't help it if info design turns me on. lol
