LUNCH time! ... I mean LAUNCH time!

the countdown has ended. The website has launched. Technically the site is still under [minor] construction but definitely usable. Take a gander! The website of Kirk Pettinga

Free JavaScript

I discovered Dynamic Drive through my photo 2 class at the Wordpress Site. Dynamic Drive has all kinds of free JavaScript you can just copy and paste into your Dreamweaver files. Each one comes with specific instructions so its easy to do and makes your site look N-I-C-E.

It's ALIVE!

The Website is FINALLY starting to come together. These are some sketches and results of a layout that I have been creating for the index page. This format will be throughout the site. The links will go in the dark section on the left and the image will be displayed in the lighter box where the present photo is.

man oh man

So I've come down to a decision on my "personal" logo and logo-type. Not sure if I'll use just the plus sign or the one with the "k". I might use both. I think the square cross is a suitable graphic because during my process and execution of design I am very technical and try to be exact. The cross is a representation of a cross-hair or exact point in space. I also italicized the sides to communicate movement or engagement.
Web design is hard. It's frustrating when I have great ideas for an interactive site and no clue how to execute them. DIV, TAG, ID, CLASS... i dont get it...
