*Please pardon the un-styled mess why I am rethinking and re-designing my blog!*
Hey guys! Long time no post… I’ve been busy working on awesome client projects as well as crafting an identity for my new company: Rocket Mouse Design. Over the weekend I wanted to whip up a simple landing page with some simple CSS3 animation. I learned a few things along the way and wanted to share.

I tweeted out of frustration one morning about the common occurrence known as Franken-Comp Syndrome. This happens when you show a client multiple ‘finished’ mockups for a project and they combine elements from design A, design B, and design C into one design.
I know that everyone out there in design-o-land has encountered this phenomenon at some point in their careers. It’s frustrating, time consuming and makes the design process less enjoyable. So how do we put an end to this?

Drunken Stumble: Plan your pubcrawl: http://drunkenstumble.com
I had the opportunity to participate in the Boston Hack Day Challenge this weekend. The gist of the event was to get a bunch of designers, devs, geeks, etc in one place, form teams and see what they can make in less than 48 hours.

Hey there its 2011! (yeah I’m a bit slow) But it’s time to spruce up your website . What updating your website one of your new years resolutions? Who has the time for that? Good, I don’t either. But my site is looking just a bit stale. So I’ve decided to refine some of the details. I thought I would share some of my upgrades with you. Each of these web site upgrades takes around 5 minutes. So go grab a cup of coffee and give your website some TLC for the new year.

Someone asked me a question on Formspring the other day regarding giving source files to clients. While I’ve never had a client ask for the source files, I thought I would ask my twitter friends what they thought. Because this question varies from designer to designer and from contract to contract. Some designers charge for source files, some designers don’t. Some designers have this spelled out in their contract (which is probably a smart thing to do.) Some designers don’t (me!).
