New website - Jacobhundert.com

Just got done helping my roommate set up his website. I designed the website and added little elements of real film. The border of his site is actual film erosion, I altered it into a border and have it fading to white/gray. Overall, it's simple, straight to point, and I'm pleased with it.

Here are some images of the site during the design phase and the actual outcome.
You can find Jacob on twitter and here is his site.

Best Practices For Effective Design Of “About me” Pages

After looking at my Google Analytics for my website I realized I'm in the "Minimalist" section of "Best Practices For Effective Design Of “About me”-Pages" on Smashing Magazine's website for my about page.
Thanks for the love. :)

I'm trying to figure out if I should redo my website or keep it minimalistic and update it with the same design style. Once I get it completely re-done I will post screenshots of how many different versions I made and why I wasn't satisfied with each design.

How Designers Use Posterous

I just noticed that I'm in an article called "Posterous: Simple Way to Share...everything" by Linda Goin. Here are the screen-captures of some of the article. There a lot of different ways that we can use Posterous, my account is mostly to show my work, interviews, and articles I'm in, etc. I don't usually post any random photos or links to anyone elses work on my Posterous account. That's what I use Twitpic and Twitter for. Overall there are many different ways to use Posterous, do what you feel makes sense to you. :)

I'm also in this article about Twitter Rules To Abide and Question.

My First Canvas Painting - 1997

This is going back just a few years. :)
I think this is one of my first canvas paintings that I did in my front lawn as a kid.
This was one of the houses across the street from mine.
I'm starting to see that my designs now are somewhat similar to how I painted as a kid.
Instead of using a lot of Oil based paint on canvas I create 10-30 layers minimum in Photoshop for my designs.
