In 2006, I designed the first two print versions of the RadiSys Product & Application Guide. Now in its second year, the mini-magazine has extended to the web. Web developer, Ben Parzybok (ideacog.net) incorporated my initial designs into elegant CSS and mixed it all together with Javascript and ColdFusion. I can only take credit for the design and being picky. It's a great site though and worth checking out at www.radisys.com/go/radisys.
This is the latest work to be added to my portfolio. If you'd like to see my other design work, I've just produced an updated portfolio [PDF] of work – my first chance to really clean my portfolio of most college assignments.
One of my goals for 2008 is to redsign my site. I've been absent from my blog for what seems like months, however, when I was actively publishing to my site, I realized I needed to have a robust CMS that was more than just static pages, and allowed me to publish content other than just blog posts. So look for this in the coming months.
Just wanted to post the follow-up to the previous Garden Gnome post. It’s all hooked up and working. Glazes didn’t turn out quite like I wanted but in the end I’m pretty satisfied. And yes – he has a big head – he’s a caricature…
Today I finished up the top piece of my garden gnome. Now I just have to wait for it to dry and and then fire and glaze.
Sadly, two ladies in the class asked if I was doing a self portrait – either I really need to shave (probably do) or I’m a lot more gnomish than I realized.
Hopefully in two weeks I’ll have this Garden Gnome pumping water into my pond.
If you're visiting for the first time you might wonder exactly why you've arrived here. That's a question only you can answer. But I'll try to provide some reasons that I think you might want to stay.
NateCreates.com is a testing ground – a mix of art and commerce in my own unique way. You'll find fine art gracefully promoted on the back of my busines card, or my ideas on branding next to random thoughts on golf. While some content may appear ill planned, it's always with purpose, just as the choice to not design is with purpose.
Hopefully in all my experimenting I learn something. And when I do, my plan is to share what I've learned, from CSS/HTML, to graphic design, photography, typography, and even Search Engine Optimization (SEO). You name it. If you'd like to know when something new arrives, or you have a general question, feel free to e-mail.
Check out Nate's Storefront. It's not as user-friendly as I'd like it to be, but there's the initial rumblings of a art career (15 years in the making) and the collection will soon grow. From fine art, limited edition prints, to paintings and photography, you might just find something. I'll hopefully be able to add some new stuff inspired by Barcelona over the next few months.
This website is the best example of what I do - mix graphic design, web design and marketing practices into one neat package. If you like what I do, learn more about my services or check out my portfolio.
