resume and portfolio

Design

Today I re-did my portfolio on christiedesigns.net. I added more examples to that portfolio and changed the layout using this amazing jQuery script. I also edited my creative example page, which only show a certain amount of the examples. They are all part of the same portfolio but christiedesigns.net is a continuation of the portfolio page I have here. You can also comment on each piece if you click on it. They will show individually as if they were a blog entry of their own.

I’ve also updated my resume, tried to go deep into the “creative resume” idea this time. Being the mac-obsessed girl that I am, some sticky notes and a screenshot were my best friend with this one. Feel free to download the pdf.

the lovely bones

Rambling

The Lovely Bones movie premiered in January 2010, if you haven’t seen it, its now out on DVD. Add it to your netflix queue! I suggest it, and yes it is a sad kind of movie, but the surreal images through the movie are awesome! I don’t think its been given enough credit. Definitely very creative and pleasing to look at. The website also has some AWESOME wallpapers, the one with the tree being my favorite. Even if you haven’t seen the movie, you can still rock the wallpapers! Find them at lovelybones.com.

Fun with type

Design

These are some typefaces/fonts that I downloaded recently. Possibly you may want to download them, I usually use 1001fonts.com but if you can’t find them there, google may help. ROSEWOOD has of course been around for a while… but I just can’t seem to get sick of it. “Insaniburger with cheese” Is actually supposed to be the Burger King font I believe, but it’s actually a very nice font. I love the way the ends are curved rather than just cut off.

Do you have a favorite font? Tell me what it is!

My first set of icons

Design/ Technology

icon set preview

So I recently just had my blog re-designed (thank you for your help tawni) and I was searching for social network icons but I didn’t want clean shiny iphone-like icons. I searched through so many different kinds of hand drawn ones and all the sets didn’t include the icons I actually wanted. SO I made my own! Now I have it available for everyone to use. There’s only 5 icons (flickr, tumblr, twitter, aim and delicious) in the set with 2 sizes of each (32×32 and 64×64) but if you are looking for other icons please just ask, I can and will add to this set if its requested enough 🙂

The only thing I ask is if you download them and use them please leave a comment and tell me!! 🙂
