Color

By Aaron On March 15, 2013 · Add Comment · In Design, Web Design, Work

It’s possible that some of us designers design strictly in shades of gray. It would probably be pretty liberating actually. I know I dip back into B&W photography here and there. It’s a nice departure from color photographs from time to time. A great medium to just work on composition and framing and block out [...]

Web Workflow

By Aaron On March 8, 2013 · Add Comment · In Business, Design, Web Design

I started reading my typical Friday morning list of blogs this morning and wire framing seems to be the hot topic of the day. Every designer has their own method of creating websites or design material and their methods vary as much as the products they create. I, personally, use Adobe Illustrator to do a [...]

Vintage Solid – Story of a Marantz 2238B Receiver Restoration

On February 22, 2013 By Aaron

I love the look and feel of vintage products. In my opinion the 80′s marked a drastic decline in the quality of consumer products; in the United States at least. Pre-80′s made items had a tangible “heft” to them that said quality and longevity. Since then, most of the items we buy have a [...]

Fatbikes – Yeah, OK. They really are a lot of fun.

On February 22, 2013 By Aaron

I am almost ashamed to say, I just recently got my hands on a fatbike for the first time. A buddy has been saying I should test ride his for a while. I was never really opposed. Quite the contrary, actually. I’ve been wanting to ride one of these ballon tire, monsters for quite [...]

Client Ralationships and the dreaded “Contract Talks”

On February 8, 2013 By Aaron

I’ve had talks on this subject with several people lately. As a small design boutique or freelance designer the challenge of how, when, and how much to charge is a frequently recurring challenge. I found this article earlier that has some pretty good input on agile billing. If you’re an independent designer, it’s a good [...]

A Favorite WordPress Plugin

On January 25, 2013 By Aaron

I had a quick project this morning. Take a custom design and create a temp “under construction” landing page for a client. Carry Gear Solutions has been a client for a couple of years now and we are circling back around to redesigning their website after getting it up a [...]

Mountainsmith

On January 18, 2013 By Aaron

The latest 8 month project is live on the web. In contrast with print work, however, websites are never really done.

I began working on the Mountainsmith.com website last year and it has been an example of modern workflow and collaboration. Mountainsmith, a company based in Golden, Colorado is owned by a larger company from [...]

It’s that time of year again. The first week of the new year and for the last three years that has meant I’ve finished work on the always fun and challenging 92 page Tom Wishon Golf Technology Catalog. As always, it makes design work much easier when you are really interested in the [...]

Winter Commute: Durango

On December 14, 2012 By Aaron

Just thought I’d share a pic of a long awaited snowy commute. Welcome, white stuff. Bring some friends and stay a while.

In a product note, the nimble 9 touring build is a ton of fun in the snow and a really stable ride when running the tires at low pressure (I’m running at about [...]
