With New Designers coming up rapidly there has been much fretting about who is doing what and who is designing what. With myself and a few others being on an internship at Samsung it has proved hard to keep things consistent.

After much arguing through many emails I have decided to defer my vote to someone else as it’s getting heated. Just need someone to make a creative decision who is higher up in the hierarchy than we are.

Forgetting all of that stuff, I have redesigned my website, business card and all pdf documents and updated my ‘brand’ since doing that for the final degree exhibition. I changed the colour to 100% Magenta instead of orange but kept the same font The portfolio section is now up with proper descriptions, pictures and styling (with some more projects to come when I get a chance).

My business card can be seen below and yes I am aware that the back of the card has the wrong corners rounded in the image.

Busniness Card

While at Samsung I noticed that my new website design did not look correct in IE6 (no surprise there then) so I spent some time correcting some CSS problems. No sooner than I had done that than I tried it in Safari and it failed even more to display correctly.

After several hours trying to figure out what the problem was, changing (and improving) my CSS stylesheet I discovered that even though I zero’d all margins at the start of the CSS by:

* {margin:0px; padding:0px}

Safari is a bitch and does not recognise that. So after several hours of trying, finally declaring the padding and margins as 0 for ul and li elements as well as entire divs, the formatting magically came into alignment in Safari.

After doing all that, feeling like I needed to vent some of my frustration and being British I wanted to write a strongly worded letter to Mr. Jobs. Instead I am blogging about it. This in itself proved more difficult than first anticipated as when I logged into Worpress, the visual text editor for the post screen had gone and all the text was coming out in white! After a quick Google and a re-install of WordPress 2.8 the editor came back and I can see what I’m writing now.

I have just received an HTTP error while uploading my business card image. Seriously what is going on with the internet tonight?

Now the reason I am blogging at this late hour and not in bed, asleep in preparation for work tomorrow is simple… There are people in my house who I don’t know, playing very loud music. I hope tomorrow is a better day.
