Hey there people.  I’ve got a few new updates for you. I’m really excited about these two new updates, to tell the truth, and I’m going to be adding them to my portfolio as soon as I get some free time (which isn’t a whole lot these days, unfortunately).

So, the two newest updates are a couple of sites we just launched for Design the Planet.  Puglia’s Sporting Goods – www.puglias-sporting-goods.com and Wilson Marsh Equipment – www.wilsonmarshequipment.com.

Puglia’s has been around for a super long time, and it’s an honor to give them an online facelift.  They haven’t had a website before and I think we’ve given them something exceptional. I used a lot of textures and imagery of the great outdoors to really convey the Southern Louisiana Outdoors feel they were going for.

When I was a kid, my family used to tailgate in front of Puglia’s, and I always loved the giant shark they had out front.  I was totally stoked to do a website for them.

Wilson Marsh Equipment is an awesome company.  They build these huge cranes that go out in the marshes without sinking, and to tell you the truth, I think I want the cargo buggy for camping.

They’ve been around for a long time. They’re looking to get into selling their excavators in Europe, so they needed a new website to impress executives abroad.  I think we gave them something impressive.

I’ll be posting some screen shots soon.

You have to love the internet.  I won’t go into specifics, but let’s just say I’m continually amazed at what I can get for absolutely free online.

On a completely different note that has nothing to do with what I can find for free on the internet, I picked up an After Effects CS3 manual tonight.  I won’t be using said manual to learn how to use the things I’ve downloaded for absolutely free on the internet.

Really.

Let’s just say that I’ll have some killer new experiments to show off in the next coming months.

And speaking of Killer things to show off, I’ve finally gotten some pictures of “History with a Twist” by Joe Gendusa.  You can view it in the “miscellaneous” section of my portfolio – One of these days I’ll get around to fixing that section up.  I’ve also got a new logo for Sydney Torress III (that’s right, the rock star garbage man’s dad), along with a new business card for Jefferson Door (keep an eye out for a stationary package soon), and finally some stuff for nolascene.com in the “poster“section.

I’m still working on a few projects that I hope to have up and showing off for you soon.  Keep an eye out for some nolascene.com and batonrougerocks.com merch.  If you know any good screen printers, let me know!

Also, wish me luck on my jiu jitsu tournament this week.  I’m going to try my hardest not to embarras myself.
