Way behind on links, have a pile of projects to do, will catch up at some point. Have to do a Web design job for a local non-profit, and am in Web designers brain-fart mode. The non-profit has a vertically-oriented logo and, to be quite honestly with you, I can’t say that I’ve ever worked with a vertical logo, and it’s proving more difficult than I imagined.
That, and I don’t do frilly, simple sites very well. If a site’s got a pile of content, I can do that as then the content generally dictates the design, but simple frilly crap when I have no graphics and very little content to work with, they aren’t really all that much fun for me.
So if anybody out there has a good template to get me started with this logo (designed by the studs at iconix), I’d be grateful (and you’ll receive a link here, without question, and possibly on the redesigned site) — then maybe I can get some stock photography to fill the thing out, give it some color. I just need a starting point, which I’m at a loss for (and nothing at OSWD is any help).
Once I get a template in place, I can easily populate it (and do all the other stuff I need to do — setup donation system, setup mailing list system, setup news system), but I just am not in the creative mode right now. I’m in a programmer mode, and that’s not making doing creative things very easily.
But once this project is off my back, I’ll be able to get far more links up.
