Designed and Development by Tri3


After a four year break I decided it was about time I learn today's web design. My old roommate and friend Drew Lee recommended a great book and I dove right into it.

The above is the fruit of my labour. Nothing mind blowing but I'm proud of it. It began with a few bang-your-head-against-the-wall moments and for while i thought "how can anyone do this for a living?!" Of course those feelings wore off as i got the hang of things. Soon the markup transformed from abstract characters on a screen into simple ingredients of the cake i want to bake. During the last day of development i sat for 14hrs straight tweaking and nitpicking, I thought that was something only painting could get me to do.

Speaking of long hours, I went from having one meager job in 2007 to having four jobs in 2008; I'm always working.

On a final and related note it appears Medina and Kristi found an apt in Bushwick. If the deal gets seaedl my two year long wait will come to a close. I'll be getting married and moving to Brooklyn!!!!

not a bad design, I would point out a few things since I have to look for the same things daily. The navbar on the left side where it says IM ubruptly ends without a division or curved corner like on the right side. Well, other than that I have nothing. So its only one point. I like it.
