Updated the ol' résufolio site: http://halfmoth.com a little!

Logo Design, part 1: Cotswold Collectibles

Started assembling just my logo designs to add to my portfolio so as to entice those out there looking for folks like me, and it's taken me all evening just to gather the work I've done for Cotswold Collectibles, Inc.!

Try it!

Well I've all but ditched the old site, tho there's still lots left to do. I kept the homepage basically as-is but dropped it into iWeb for unity. Each section now has a new page, however at the moment only "Corporate" has Galleries. But they're full galleries, especially WeatherPlus', which has content I've never put online before! Lots of clips!

[Note: I've noticed if you click on an album and then click on a item in that album, taking you to the full page display/slideshow page, if you click 'Next' to flip thru it, any clips appear fine. If, however, you click on a clip straight from the album page (where it displays large thumbnails of the contents), when it takes you to that slideshow page, the clip's controls don't always appear! How do you PLAY the clip? Well, one way is to click on its tiny thumbnail above it, in the line of tiny thumbnails.]

I have a couple more companies to add to "Corporate", and then I do the other 3 sections. I've pulled together a large amount of materials and have been prepping the pieces for their galleries. I'm still learning how to handle iWeb -- I've got it FTP-ing the content to my halfmoth.com server instead of my MobileMe space, and this has been a tad confusing. It seems OK for the moment!

Résumé section is, I believe, finished! Clickable cover letter, and here's also where I've placed my demo reels. Plus a breakdown of the elements of the WeatherPlus reel. I can't get my chosen poster frames to display on the clips, perhaps because there's more than 1 clip on the page? iWeb says they're set up, but apparently it's incorrect. Code's such a mishmash at this point I'm no longer sure where to look. Anyway. There's also a link to my QuickTime quicklinks page, where just about every clip associated with my résufolio resides.

Stay tuned! Feedback's welcome!

Sweeping changes to the site!

With the computer upgrade, out went my old OS9 website software, GoLive. Now for résufolio updates, I'll have to rely on ImageReady and iWeb. I've already begun to learn iWeb, and my new Resume page is the result!

I'm exploring building my 4 "hubs" in ImageReady (it's where I built the homepage a while ago), and then in iWeb creating basic galleries for each company I've worked for. Similar to what's there now, but more modern and unified.

Plus, this way updating the galleries will be as simple as adding-to and publishing-changes! Hey, I don't have coding or technical web work listed in my skillset for a reason... :)

My Résufolio Website

This blog will be where I mention the latest additions to my "résufolio" website, halfmoth.com. Today I have updated my homepage with this and other buttons, and over the course of 2009 I'll be adding more. I'm scrubbing it clean as I go, so some links may be temporarily broken... The center animations on my homepage, f'rinstance -- those are next!

Upcoming: I've been working with Cotswold Collectibles for over a year now, and 2008 saw a lot of print (catalogs & magazine ads). I also noticed my old STARMAN webpages vanished, and I need to bring all that content back online! (They were hosted on AOL back before I had halfmoth.com, and I'd left them there, silly me.) Especially with the STARMAN Omnibus vol.1 out last June, and vol.2 due this March! And another related project soon after that, I hear...

And while the 2007 box art for the G.I.Joe action figure collection "Tanks for the Memories" appears in my related 2008 presentation clip on my QuickTime Quicklinks page, I need to add its basic page to my Freelance section...

Lots to do! Read about it here!
