This is the Colored Boers Breeders’ Directory homepage. Also a WordPress install, it has a very simple layout and design. We wanted the photos in the content to be the stand-out stars, not the site design so much.
A new look for the SexyToms.com website. This is also a WordPress install, using the Atahualpa theme as a base. Atahualpa allows an extreme amount of customization. What I’ve done here barely scratches the surface of its capabilities.
Fall make-over for PrettyCanHurt.com featuring falling maple leaves and black bats. In three months, I’ll be doing this site over again for Winter!
Front page and WordPress theme customization for artist Tracy Brehm Alden.
Re-design of the Art Rez website. The front page is independent of the WordPress installation, but it has a seamless integration between the two. Tonight I spent a few hours working on redoing a good friend’s website. The previous site was done in frames, and several pages didn’t match the basic look of the site. Frames make it hard fr search engines to pick up a site, and the lack of smooth integration between different parts of the site made some areas seem a bit awkward. Tonight I recreated her home page, then incorporated everything into the WordPress installation, editing the theme to match the homepage making the transition between pages as seamless as possible. There’s one last thing to fix on my end, then the rest is on her. She’s thrilled to be able to edit the contents of everything except the front page herself now, and I’m thrilled to have been able to give her more control over her site and what’s in it. The one thing left to fix has me stumped, but I posted in the forum over at Bytes For All asking for help. You have to make a donation of at least $5.00 now in order to post on the forum, but considering how much use I have gotten out of that creator’s theme, and how much help I have received in the forums, $5.00 is a very small price to pay. Hopefully we can have the last little problem fixed by tomorrow evening. After it’s fixed, I’ll post the link here and let you see my handiwork. Working on her site has made me want to tidy up my own a bit. And the problem is FIXED! See the site here at http://artrez.com/. You’ve come to this page to learn more about me and my work, or at least I hope that’s why you’re here! I am a graphic artist, with a ridiculous love of zombies, science fiction, space westerns, sewing, puppies and kittens. I know HMTL, CSS, and enough about the WordPress engine to set you up right. I can do some theme customization, create an amazing logo from scratch, set up business cards, or that sales flyer you need for the weekend. I’ve designed a few tattoos. I’ve got a few more than that. I can also design a kick-ass website for you. I live in Lancaster, CA, where I spend much of my free time stitching up things to sell in my Etsy.com shop, blogging about life in general, and watching way more bad science fiction and horror than can possible be good for me. I’m on an unending quest to find a truly frightening horror movie, but so far they just give me the giggles. I’ve also been known to take a few photos on occasion. I have been working as a freelancer since 2002. I’ve worked doing vinyl sign cutting, creating screen printing designs, and embroidery designs. I prefer to work in Adobe Illustrator over Photoshop, as I enjoy the drawing aspect more then I enjoy the manipulative aspects of Photoshop, but can work easily in both. Unfortunately during my almost year long time spent at a franchise shop as a designer, I was unable to take samples of my work with me. You’ve probably noticed that many of my logo designs have been for farms, ranches, and related businesses. That’s because growing up on a goat farm, many of my connections were with other farming people. Don’t let that fool you into thinking that’s all I can do- the possibilities are limitless and I am willing to take on a variety of projects. When I begin work on a new project, I like to discuss what it is you (the client) is looking for first. Are there any styles you really like? Are there any you don’t? Can you show me three examples of existing designs that you enjoy? These things help me better understand exactly what you are looking for and help me to bring you better initial concepts to start off with- time is money, so let’s make the best use of it that we can. This is especially true for logo design as your logo is your calling card. Kittyloaf is so named in memory of my cat Lucky. Though I only had him for about three years, he made a very lasting impression on me. Find Kittyloaf Designs on Facebook, Networked Blogs, Google+, & Twitter
