mini cards

June 5th, 2010

I designed a card for my sister.

But they’re not your ordinary business cards, they’re mini. I didn’t even know that was an option!

And they’re a good one for her: since they’re a different size, they’ll stand out amongst the other cards; they’re inexpensive, and allow her to print in small numbers; and you can have different images on one side of the card.

I’m not sure about the print quality, but $20 isn’t too much to find out.

Here are the images, but they include the bleeds because I was too lazy to crop and re-save them. There are 15 colour variations for the one side, and one shared information-side.

Codepaste 2 and Google Chrome: friends at last?

May 14th, 2010

Codepaste2 displays correctly in Chrome! Finally!

In Opera, Safari, Firefox, and IE everything was great; in Chrome things went so very wrong: lines would wrap, lose opacity, and display behind themselves. Code was super difficult to read.

But now it works! And, to be honest, I’m not sure why. I updated the version of EditArea it uses, and didn’t see a change. When I switched its allow_resize option from both to y everything magically got better. I was pretty happy. But then I changed y back to both and things didn’t get worse, which left me confused and a little scared.

I hope the issue was resolved by updating EditArea, and all the confusion was caused by some weird caching issue. Or maybe I forgot to refresh?

Codepaste v1 still gets heavier use than Codepaste v2. I wonder if that is by conscious decision, or if people just don’t know about Codepaste v2 and how much better it is.

Legend Painting business card design

March 14th, 2010

I had such difficulty designing business cards for Legend Painting. Nothing worked, and man, was that frustrating? It was so frustrating.
But I finally came up with one design that I actually like! (And some others that were okay)

Here it is in my card viewer:

Some new logos

I recently designed some logos for Legend Painting, and Best Home Product Distributors.

The more prominent versions are the ones that were selected, and the smaller ones below are some alternate options I provided.
