I’m trying to take it easy today. My multiple web site creating has reached a point of excess. I’m working on 6 different sites at the same time. Mostly web design but also maintainence and updating. I’m glad I’ve got some valuable skills in this time of limbo before teaching starts next month.
I was talking to a friend this morning that knows graphic design and he intimated that he’d like to work on a web project with me in the future. I told him, “The future is now! You can work with me on MAeX.”
My partner, Pablo, was talking to me about Helvetica fonts as “THE” font we should use on the site. Of course, I disagree. I had changed fonts after becoming editor and received emails, some of which are posted on the site, about how much easier the site was to read. Previously the site used Geneva which is similar to Helvetica. Anyway, having a bona fide graphic design professional should improve the site, especially when a redesign is actually done. My friend, Dan, is perfect.
I talked to my niece today. I love her so much! We always talk and talk on the phone. Of course, both of us being artists gives us a special relationship. She draws like you wouldn’t believe! Her college prof. kept some of her work as samples to show other students. But, she also make jewelry. She’s very detail oriented and does beautiful work. She needs a digital camera as badly as I do! 🙁
