Social Networking Icons

October 29th, 2009

I recently designed a few social networking icons for my site and thought I'd share them with the public. The icons are pictured below which you can download right off this page, or download this file to get layered and editable PSD files. The icon background gradients were done using a layer style, so they can be easily altered to accommodate any icon.

P.S. If the icons above are shown with an ugly grey background, it's because you're using Internet Exporer 6. Upgrade to Firefox 3.5 here.

New Office Space

December 17th, 2008

Just moved into a new office space and took some pictures of my setup consisting mostly of Ikea bought furniture. Also have a bunch of new work on the way -- most of them are larger projects that have taken awhile to develop and are finally wrapping up.

The Perfect Desk for the Designer

October 13th, 2008

I plan on moving into office space in the near future and have been looking for the perfect desk to fit my needs. I recently stumbled across a beautiful site for MILK (www.milk.dk) -- a simple, beautiful desk made of aluminum. No pricing is given on the site, which means it's probably out of my price range. Very cool nonetheless.

MILK

Also check out the iDesk - idesk.sublevel.us. Not quite as slick, but worth a mention.
