Gears of War 3!

So, we all knew it was coming but last night on Jimmy Fallon, Cliff Bleszinski officially announced it. He even showed off a trailer for the game. The trailer is rather surreal, similar to the first trailers for the first two games so it fits right in line.

Dom has a beard now so that tells us some time has passed and Cliff confirmed via Twitter that the blonde girl is Anya; playable? I doubt it seeing as the previous 4 are back but playable in multiplayer? There's a possibility.

It'll be a long wait until April 2011...

Work continues on my new portfoio site...

Redesigning a site; the joys of looking at some previous work you've done and saying to yourself, "Wow, this sucks. I need to redo it." Over the last month or so I've been throwing together ideas and designs to turn what was, basically, a portfolio site for a fresh college graduate into a site worthy of someone who's been in the industry for a few years.

I've started to link all my social sites together with an orange/black/gray theme. The orange and gray go together really well I've found when used in the right amounts. The biggest thing I want to accomplish with it is improving on the functionality of the site as a whole. Adding in a contact form on the contact me page for instance.

As long as I can devote a little time after work and on the weekends I'm looking to launch the new site this month. Good things ahead!

Photoshop Failures

This one goes out to all the graphic designers I know. When you're learning Photoshop, it's a process of mastering one technique and then learning something new; a step by step process. In the professional world you gather all these skills together and utilize the finer techniques to make some wonderful imagery.

Or, like these designers, you cut corners and ACT like a Photoshop professional when you're not, lol.
