Jesse Pearson's personal design blog.
I just noticed it’s been a week since my last posting, and I wanted to follow up. The design for Outer Image is complete and the HTML/CSS template has been created, with a JavaScript image rotation in place, as well.
No, it didn’t take me that long to complete it, I had other things on my plate I was dealing with. Thank you very much.
It’s been a week or so since my last post about finalizing my design and all, and now here I am, done (for the most part). The bugs have been worked out, but nothing is flawless, so one will probably creep in somewhere.
Some people have told me that my design is too graphically heavy, and they are somewhat right, but it’s the way I wanted to go. Who knows, in a few months, I may change it up to use more “white space”. Other people have told me the design looks amazing and quite unique. All I know is I like it.
The HTML and CSS weren’t all the difficult to line up with the PSD I created, it was integrating my HTML and CSS into WordPress and its awkward page creation. I actually should say list (menu) creation, because the content in the page was actually fairly simple. With the lists, I actually had to toss in some JavaScript to get it to add some classes to get my CSS to hook in properly.
Now that the blog is complete, I can get the rest of the site up and running with my résumé, portfolio, etc. I can also focus more on learning more about OOP with PHP.
