Final Redesign

Third time's a charm, right? Maybe it's because of my unemployment status that I feel it necessary to use my time towards changing my website as many times as possible, and maybe not. Either way, I have redesigned the site for a third and final (at least for a now) time. The name is still the same: www.solbergdesigns.com, but the LOOK is NEW!

I decided to add some more elements to the site; showing more diversity in my work. I added a few paintings that I have done over the last few months, as well as some photos that I have shot and edited over the past year.

While I am looking for a job, I figure it can't hurt to let employers know that I am a fan of all things creative, and not just graphic and print design.

I'd love to hear feedback on the new look!

What shall I do next with my spare time (besides the tedious job hunt?) I am hoping to get some more designs posted soon (redesigns and new designs that I have conjured up). Must.Keep.Designing.

And maybe hitting the gym too. I hear activity helps creativity.


Have a great day!

MY NEW WEBSITE!


Ever heard of Moonfruit? Me either...well, not until a few days ago at least. Let me give you a hint....it has NOTHING to do with outer space and nothing to do with apples either (but, what a fun combo THAT would be..)
Moonfruit is a company that allows you to make a website for FREE! It haa several different templates and is very easy to figure out. I spent a good 7 hours today working on a site, and finally finished it! I was ecstatic to come across Moonfruit because of my current lack of enthusiasm about Dreamweaver (maybe I shouldn't admit that since I will be applying for jobs soon?). I know how to use Dreamweaver, I am just not a fan. Also, Moonfruit allows you to keep your website for free as long as you update it at least every 6 months! What a wonderful thing.

So, that being said, check out my brand new website!

Visitor Guide covers take 2

I went back and made some adjustments. I added the Mizzou student recruitment header in order to keep the branding consistent. And again, anything that looks grey, should be black. I'm not sure why the color is not coming through! Thoughts/comments encouraged!




Have a great day!

MU Visitor Guide beginnings

Inspiration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x3PQ5QhMJs (joke, but I really do like this song. RIP MJ)

Mizzou Publications, in conjunction with the Office of Visitor Relations (aka the best job on campus), is in the beginning stages of creating a Visitor's Guide for Mizzou. The entire project will not be completed until April of 2010, but there is a lot that needs to happen in that time. First, a media kit has to be put together to send to potential advertisers. Today I created some mock covers to be used in the media kit. I may be making some more on Thursday, but here are 4 that I have completed (anything that looks grey should be black):







Which treatment do you like best?




















Have a great day!
