If you are reading this, then I'm sure you have seen my site redesign!

It is the same site, but with a cleaner, more cutting edge style that compliments my graphic design and cartoons rather well. For reference, here is my old home page:

I made the site in 2011 after graduating from uni, so it was starting to show it's age. In 2012 I made the grid format home page, and I still think that is an effective way to welcome guests to my site.

I added a Branchy News Portal to the front page, that I can link to the rest of my site if I want to draw attention to something (an external site, an announcement etc). It should be a good way to keep up to date!

Onto some more exciting news: I have plans to announce a new cartoon, coming soon.

I promise I won't do another Project Climb Aboard: This one is the real deal. It's one I want to draw, but most importantly, I can draw. 

Check the Blog or my Facebook page for that announcement!

My business cards finally arrived in the mail today!

They look fantastic, and the material they are made of is quite durable. A big win!

Next time you see me ask for one!

Yesterday I received my first ever cheque for a graphic design job!

A big thanks to the gentlemen at Letterworks, it was a pleasure doing your website! I hope all my clients in the future are as good as you!

The money obtained will go towards future projects for Branchy Design, including maintaining websites and launching Bogan's Corner: The Webcomic.

In business card news, they came in the mail on Friday, yet I didn't end up collecting them. Mum will collect them on Monday, as at that stage I will be at university back in Hobart.

After designing my business card, I sent it away to an online printer that had a great deal going on basic business cards. I ordered a pack of 500 of my custom design, plus a metal card holder so I can look totally boss when handing them out.

They should be here mid-week, so that's something to look forward to! I will be sure to post some pictures of the final result!

Over the past few days I have been doing several design related projects. This is a long blog post, so bear with me!

One project has been trying to design a business card for myself, which hasn't been too easy. I have settled on a final design, as shown here:

I tried to keep in theme with my website, and I think it conveys the "Less is More" message very well.

In website related news, I undertook the web design process for Letterworks, Scottsdale. I went around Scottsdale with Michael Jacobson, taking photos of the Signwriter's work. It was a rewarding afternoon, some great shots popped up!

The site layout is finished and soon will be ready to launch, after we have finished some more content.
