Back for a quick update. Been busy getting up to speed with a new client who has asked me to take over maintenance on their website. I find it a great experience to get to look over another designer’s project. You see things through a different perspective and it challenges your own structures and work model. Sometimes I find something cool and useful to add to my tool bag, sometimes it just reinforces my current habits.

Picked up a job doing some branding for a local non-profit which will be fun. While I enjoy the challenge of integrating a site’s design with a company’s current brand, you can’t beat the feeling of designing someone’s identity from scratch; To place all their ideals and attitudes in a few colors and geometric shapes. ( Okay, sometimes it isn’t so geometrical. ) I can’t wait to get started on it.

Finally, I am making great progress on a network management database project that has sprung up. Besides giving me a greater understanding of SQL ( which is never a bad thing ), I hope to integrate it with real time network monitoring tools running outside Access to really give the project a depth of purpose. Hopefully I will get to show it off in the next few weeks.

That’s it for tonight. Have a good one all.
