SO MUCH TO LEARN!

Posted by joshann

Wow, just wow. Learning HTML and CSS is amazing.

When I was going to college the first time around, I loved math because of the instant gratification it gave me when I completed a problem. HTML/CSS has become my math! I am so excited.

I got home today and I was almost emotionally exhausted because I feel like I am using a part of my brain that is out of practice so to speak.

I am learning so much, and things are just flowing so nicely. I am ready to build awesome websites!

Here are a few snapshots of the types of things I am building now. It is all pretty basic but I can only get better!!

Again, really basic stuff, and some of it is pretty silly! I am having SO much fun!

Till next time!

Back to school!

Posted by joshann

So I have made the decision to go back to school for web design. So super exciting! In two years I will have an Associates in web design, since my Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design did not touch Web Design, and ever since I left all I seem to be doing is web stuff. (That is a terrible sentence…)

I will put up sites and projects when I get them done. Also because I am back in school I am sure I will be drawing a lot more so I will post those as well!

I am already doodling…

Adamar is my new laptop so he might show up a lot. He is my new baby <3 <3.

I wasn’t really meaning to work on my site today. I knew it needed to be done. I think it happened because I got onto a website updating tangent and then I started fixing errors, and, well four hours later my portfolio was updated.

Well it’s done in any case. I am pretty picky and kind of a perfectionist and I am not sure if I am ok with the “My Works” page, but there it is. Maybe down the road I will figure out what I really want to do with it.

I have a few projects that I need to finish, other that that the site should be current with my recent works.

Enjoy!

Moving on

Well, I no longer work at ORCCA, which is sad, but you have to move on to bigger and better things at some point. I worked there since 2006 and accomplished a lot.

Anyway, I am currently volunteering, while looking for a job, at a dentist. It has been a lot of fun changing my environment. I have been busy updating their forms, updating their website, and setting up a Facebook page for them. When I am not doing those things I am helping out as another hand around the office.

Wish me luck in finding a permanent place in a work force!

 

Drastic WordPress Overhaul

Posted by joshann

So I had a good chat with my older brother about my website and helped me to realize that the previous version was not achieving what it needed to. Like it wasn’t actually showing my art; I was focusing TO much on functionality (some times a fault for me) and not the design. I sometimes need a good kick in the right hemisphere of my brain. So here it is.

I am actually much more happy with it because it matches my biz card. Anyway, enjoy :)

Ponies and Gingerbread Houses

Welcome to the herd as they say.

 

I’m gonna practice a whole bunch more! XD

 

Here are the set designes I did for Hansel and Gretel:
Outside Hansel and Gretel's House Inside Hansel and Gretel's House Outside Witch's House Inside Witch's House

I drew them in Illustrator, to get the prospective/sizes right, then projected them on to the board and then painted. I had a lot of fun!
