Unlike Tim Malone, I don’t need to tick the Remember Me checkbox (I’m too lazy too. I know it sounds crazy).

Still, it’s been a while since I have actually posted some form of a reasonable blog post as I have been busy doing various things.

For those that don’t know, I am doing volunteer work at 1WAY FM, ensuring that programs go out as they should, editing programs and doing web and graphic design work for them. This does take a bit of my time up.

I also recently relaunched kjwdesign’s website (although I need to change a bit of code so that I don’t have an issue with the blog showing on the front page). The new design is fresher, gives me a bit more control on what I can put up on the site and includes a blog where I can easily add news and updates on the business. I also had to fix the contact form as the web-host somehow broke the PHP configuration for the SMTP server address.

Other than that, I am job hunting at the moment, looking at ways and options to start a production business, still working in retail, and still slowly working on actually getting my showcase on the web.

I also graduated from CIT a couple of weeks ago.

As a web/graphic designer, I try and look at doing various ways of designing websites and various graphic designs. The following is a post on what I do and enjoy.

At this stage, a redesign of my business’s website as well as this blogs design is in progress, as well as looking at getting a design for the upcoming showcase site (which will have items of design/media work). I also work on the website for a upcoming movie called Hobby Farm.

Other than the projects that I mentioned above, I also occasionally create designs as experiments or possible proposals for various projects that I could take on board. I also look at possible ways to skin various content management systems (eg. Joomla) as well as evaluating them, and I also evaluate various designs that could evolve into parts of future projects.

As I am quite interested in media, I also look at integrating graphics into Apple’s Motion as well as experimenting with creating some motion graphics using various functions in Motion including particles.In the end, I do enjoy doing various design projects and look forward to continuing creating websites and graphic designs, as well as various media productions in the future. 

I haven’t had time to post, the past couple of weeks.

In summary:
-Got a credit in an essay (I haven’t got that high a grade on an essay, and I last did an essay in 2002)
-Been quite busy with other school work
-Completed a website for my business
-Might start working part-time at where I work

Other than that, not much has been happening. I can’t wait till the holidays start in December.

At work, we have started pre-orders for the Nintendo Wii (launch date is late 2006, why hasn’t Nintendo announced a release date?). The funny thing is that we have to “Verify with the customer if they want to pre-order a Wii”.

Wii of course is pronunced Wee. Basically, the pre-order slips have created another of the on-going puns for the Wii.

kjwdesign is my web and graphic design business focused on providing professional designs that suit your needs.

Today marks the day of the new site design. This design is easier to use, allows for more content to be on screen, and features a better designed front page and portfolio.
