Interviewed on SWD

swd

This past week I was interviewed by the good folks over at Spicy Web Designers. Luc Arnold and the rest of the SWD crew run a fun little site where they interview designers from around the globe. SWD features some of the hottest web design talent around the world and strives to showcase them and inspire others with what is possible in the world of web design. I thank them for the opportunity. I posted a transcript after the jump, but be sure to check them out at spicywebdesigners.com Read More

The Times They Are A Changin’

Sorry, I’m sure you’ve heard that word all too many times in the last few months. The thing is; it’s true.

At 12:01PM EST Our country ushered in a new era of leadership. An era that a large portion of us feel very positive about. While this won’t be used to express my political views, you can’t help but feel a new vision, direction, and yes “change” is upon us. At the moment Barack Obama took his oath of office, a small part of that change was already taking place; when now President Obama’s (Man that feels good to say!) version of whitehouse.gov went live.

WhiteHouse.gov

The new site has the same fresh, airy feel that both barackobama.com and change.gov had. The typography, imagery, colors and usage of whitespace allow the site feel very current and inviting, especially for a government website.

Here’s how the site looked earlier in the day.
