My Best Desktops Launches

Manhattan Bridge For a few years now, I’ve been designing or using some of my photography to make desktop wallpapers for my personal use. Sometimes, I would even make these available to the world via a couple different web outlets like my work site. The downloads have really been phenomenal for quite some time, so I’ve finally decided to launch a site just for these desktop wallpaper downloads.Say hello to MyBestDesktops.com!

At this site, I’ll upload ALL of the past desktops and continue adding new desktops practically everyday for the foreseeable future! That means vector desktops, photo desktops, text based desktops, fun desktops, serious desktops, animal desktops, travel desktops and everything between!

So, check out MyBestDesktops.com and get downloading! I’ll do my best to remember to update it as often as possible.

HTML Site Updates

The HTML version of the site is moving to a new template! The new code features leaner CSS, javascript  rounded corners, animated columns and more. There will still be some tweaking going on over the next couple days, but hopefully the transition will be a smooth one.

In addition, some new items will be getting added to the portfolio (finally) and lots of minor copy changes. So, look around. Kick the tires. Be kind. And Enjoy.

The All New SixFlags.com Launches

Six Flags National Home

Producing large websites the likes of sixflags.com for a company as unique as Six Flags Theme Parks is an undertaking so large, so full of potential pitfalls, and so amazingly complex that it’s no wonder complete interface to infrastructure redesigns of this size don’t happen all that often. That said, the all new web presence for Six Flags is a huge step into the future everyone involved should be proud of.

Highlights include large expanses of space for gorgeous new photography on nearly every page, massive video streaming at HD resolutions larger than many HDTVs, immersive 360 degree panoramic photography users can use to experience what it’s like to be at the top of the scariest rides on the planet, two original Flash games, over 2000 pages of rewritten copy, and more image assets depicting more rides, stores, events, entertainment, emotions and experiences than you can imagine across numerous park sites coast-to-coast!

The best part is that the new site will only just keep growing with more new content, new features, sweepstakes, partnerships with leading companies and more. So, sign up for the all new Team Six to stay up to date with the latest Six Flags news, but remember that despite the fact that this new site is chock full of experiential content, the only way to get the full Six Flags experience is to visit the one closest to you! Get your tickets, Season Passes, or VIP tours here and enjoy!
