Oh Boy…

Friday, November 9th, 2007

I think I bit off more than I could chew. I’ve been getting things together for the web pages and I realized that this site is going to be a lot bigger than I would have preferred. There are so many things that need to be put online for Solar Dragons; Flash, websites, logos, text for each page, free stuff, etc. In addition, certain sections need different designs in order to fit everything on the page. The Home page will need a different look than the Games page and so on. I have a deadline of January 1st to launch. I hope I can reach that.

Awake

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

I’ve been learning so much in the last few days, I cant sleep. A lot of silly questions I needed answers to, I just got in the last few days. I found out how to center web pages without complicated code, I’m almost finished with that illustration I’ve been working on too. I have a book that is telling me to offer free stuff on my site. So I found a site this morning, by accident, that lets me put flash games on my site. I’ve been having some issues with the size of my site, but I’ve ran into a lot of sites that hove good, clean designs that don’t clutter up the page. You’d be surprised sometimes how the simple sites have really good design elements.

Momentum

Everything seems to be coming together for the new site. I’m coming up with some good designs and color schemes. I’ve been working on some free stuff for the site to get repeat visitors. There’s a flash game I want to try out and a photo slideshow that is pretty easy to dabble around with. I’m working on a picture a friend of mine created a while ago. I’m airbrushing as best as I can but its not as easy as I would like. I have a graphics tablet, which helps a lot, but there’s not substitute for the feel of a drawing pad and a pencil in hand. I’m telling myself that its the same thing with the graphics tablet, but I need a whole lot of practice.

The Arrival

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

My design suite came yesterday. I’ve been having a blast with it. My bibles came at the same time. So I’ve been having a lot on my plate. There was some freebies that came with registering. I wound up getting the free fonts by accident but they are really good. I’ve been getting my menu together for the new site. I’m going to have a ‘Work in Progress’ page for the stuff that I’m currently learning. I’ve been retouching photos, airbrushing images and flash has some new stuff I want to check out too.
