After 2 months I realised that the original portofolio wasn't such a great idea since the work space was limited and I couldn't fit much content into it.
So about a week ago, while watching a movie and brainstorming for a new idea I came up with an idea for a new portofolio.
So I grabbed a notebook and my head (or something like that) and I started sketching. After several ugly doodles and bad ideas I came up with what I called "the bad-ass one".
The next day I got up...brushed my teeth...ate breakfast and started designing. About 2 hours later..the mock-up was ready to go.
So I began slicing it..then coding...and coding...and coding.....and about 15 fresh documents written by myself (and about 5 that came with the jQuery plugins and I had to modify)....and of course....several days.... DirTek Designs 2.0 went live.

Hope you like it or else I'll come and strangle you while you sleep....and I mean that!

Well, well...
So, I've been away for a very long time... I mean, for cookie's sake, even my deviant ID says that I'm 22, when in fact I've turned 24 a few months ago.
I've been away from Photoshop for a while but I'm planning a return and even though I'm kind of rusty at the moment, progress is going really well.
I still check my messages from time to time but I haven't had time to reply to comments and I'm really sorry for that. Also, most of you might have noticed that DirTek Designs is not longer online and hasn't been for a long time. There are plans to bring my portfolio back online along with all the tutorials I wrote and to continue what I used to
Runelight...once again on track
Yes, I think it's once again on track...
I have moved the forum yesterday to another host donated by a friend.
I have also changed the logo (I think it's the 5th logo already and the forum hasn't even opened yet)....and I'm also thinking of modifying the theme, since now I have a lot more experience with xHTML and CSS since the time when I made the theme (I scored 100% to both the xHTML and CSS quizzes at W3Schools). However, I'm not very sure about that...we'll see.
I will also overhaul some of the categories to reflect a more unique view of the forum (maybe forums or categories for each level of PS? Beginner, intermediate, advanced...).
Busy, busy, busy...
Well, a long time passed since my last journal entry...
It's just that I've been very busy lately....I barely even managed to make something new in Photoshop.
Me and my dad began renovating the house some time ago so I'm mostly outside working with tools, etc.
And during the breaks I'm trying to gather materials and ideas for my blog articles...
Ohhh yeah, the blog.
I released the DirTek Designs blog about 2 weeks ago...or so. I managed to customize the default Wordpress 3 theme (TwentyTen) to match my website...
I also transformed the theme's main menu (Home, About, etc) into the secondary menu for the blog....since my website already
DirTek Designs is back up
After 2 months in which the domain has been resting I finally managed to start Photoshop, do a mock-up, slice it up, start Notepad++ and code it.
I went for a vCard like portofolio while animating it with some jQuery (I know there are a lot of those out there...but hey...I wanted my own :P)
Right now it's not 100% done since I have to adapt the text colors from CSS for a better visualization but I have some web design and coding projects that cannot be postponed.
I also have some more images to add to the gallery while some need to be resized.
So for now my portofolio has to stay like this for a short while until I get some website ideas
