This weblog is a random collection of the thoughts and musings of graphic designer Justin Kropp. I live, work, and play in 35° 2′ 44″ N, 85° 16′ 2″ (for now).

Some Fresh Digs

{ February 1, 2008 9:18 AM }

We're live... and I've lost track, among other things, on the number of redesigns this site has gone through and the number of domains it has switched between. In the process I also lost many, many entries and some motivation for the entirety of the design profession. But that was short-lived. My passion and desire to continue to grow in this field I’ve come to live for was masked by various unfortunate situations (professionally) that left me just shy of a career meltdown. A meltdown that drove me back into school seeking a degree in psychology, but we’ll get more into that as time goes on.

For now, I just want to welcome you back and point out some things about the new design. Oh, and don’t mistake this “newness” as meaning I will be posting on a more regular basis. While I will be posting more that I usually do, school and work don’t leave much time to do anything else.

So, the new digs sport a full width and scalable layout, although I did stick with px sizing for fonts. I will slowly be adding pages to the site as time permits. I will also be flowing in some images of my recent work which can also be seen (soon) at my professional portfolio site: justinkroppdesign.com. God-willing, I’ll be honing my javascript skills in the near future, which will enable me to implement some niceties here. So that’s the short and sweet of the new skin. I hope you’ll join in and follow along.

Sure it is pretty but…
already heard of max-width? ;)

there's an IE "expression" to also make it work in IE if you want to…

Anonymous Coward, I'm not too concerned with this site playing nice in IE. Given my traffic reports, that's not the audience I'm concerned with reaching. As for 'max-width' - what's that? ;)

I'm loving the fluidity and consistency of the grid, this is something I've been looking into (http://www.2dforever.com http://www.stainlessvision.com). It's nice to see someone else thinking along the same lines!
