Thirty3RPM Productions

Well Last night I stayed up late and began making the homepage for www.thirty3rpmproducitons.com It is not finished but the basic navigation is there. The whole thing is subject to change and will probably see some major tweaking.

I am still thinking about what CMS to use, I might install Joomla or just do it the hardway for a good DIY make-my-own CMS. Or I could just be lazy and manually edit the HTML pages.

Anyway, continuing on the subject of the homepage–I wanted to try to make a glass theme based off the current blog theme, but make my own spin on it. The glass texture was interesting, but the color blurr gradient that is the background image took about 3 hours to make.

Let me tell you about that image. it looks decent, it might receive some tweaking but overall I am happy with it. The image itself is about 10 layers. The bottom being a rainbow gradient, but the rest are various textures and such. I actualy bought one from SXC.hu, it was a brushed metal texture. I realized after I finished the background that I could have probably made the brushed metal texture.

Well I hope you viewers will like the design. Please don’t hesitate to give me some feedback!

Most people have a Myspace profile now. Amidst the mess of crappy colors and ADD ME NOW bullitins, a good design will once in a while pop up.

I have been working with many clients over the last four months regarding myspace layouts and related design work. It is a good opportunity to learn how to deal with clients and to establish better design skills. I have made a number of Myspace layouts now and I am continuing to improve.

Most of my clients are bands and artists, as they want a nice eye-catching layout to show off their talent. There seems to be a continuous steady market for Myspace layout creation.

Just recently, Myspace released the new “Profile v2.0″ Interface for the user profiles. This pretty much thwarts any custom design as of my knowledge. It applies to regular users, but bands and artist profiles are not affected just yet. For now, the original profile v1 is still usable. I wonder how long until they force the new v2 profile?

Currently I am in the process of designing a logo for the Thirty3RPM Produtions project. I would like your feedback on the current ideas which can be found below. There are several iterations of the design, please let me know which one you think will work the best!

Once I decide on a logo I will begin building the actual site (and posting it in the blog) and keep you updated.

Hey world, This is the first blog that I have ever written in (other than some crappy Xanga at one time.) I have never been into blogs really, but they seem to be very useful.

Currently, I am in school with  dual major for an AA in Digital Media, and and AS in Digital Media – Internet Design. I am trying to rack up as much experience as possible in this field of interest in order to put together a good portfolio–I also want to have experience in the field.

Let me tell you about this thing called Thirty3 RPM Productions. This is my attempt to break into the freelance web design and graphic design world. It will showcase my various designs ranging from small advertisement banners to custom Myspace layouts, to full websites. I hope to also include an audio mastering/production service and possibly a video editing/production service as well.

Hopefully this venture will be successful and hopefully I can use this project to catapult myself into the world of web and graphic design.
