Champions
Thursday, October 26, 2006
My all time favourite playstation game has to be Pro Evolution Soccer 5, and this game has been a big part of my life here at university so far. Myself and housemate Andy set ourselves the huge challenge of winning the Konami Cup on the same team by the 27th of October, 2006 - the day that Pro Evo 6 was to be released. If we failed to make this happen we were banned from buying the new game until we did. So as it happens, the last 4 or 5 weeks have seen us battling it out, heart break after heart break, trying to achieve our goal.
Well tonight ladies and gentleman…
Making the brand
Monday, October 23, 2006
I thought it would be cool to talk a little bit about how I came up with the branding for danieloliver.co.uk. Why I did certain things the way I did and the process of putting all of my ideas together to get to the final result you see on this site currently.
Having designed numerous other personal websites before such as Solution:Web and JustDan, I was looking to break away from the two brands that I had already created and make a fresh start. danieloliver.co.uk was a completely new site with no brand attached to it, so there was a chance to make it whatever I wanted it to be. When starting a new design for something, whether it be a logo or a website design, I always try and get my ideas down…
Site update
Wednesday, October 18, 2006
I’ve been tweaking bits and bobs on the site, getting it a little something like what I have in mind. What you are looking at now is probably 70% the finished product.
Things in the pipeline include -
New styling of page footerArchivesSmall tweaks to the design of postsStyling of comment pages (half done)- New portfolio section to display work and projects
No biggies there really. Just small things that require a little time to finish off. Hopefully I will be able to cross off some of the above items during the next few days.
