Here I am, Once again
First came version 1.0 - “The Trials & Tribulations of a Young Designer”. The stuff I wrote about usually had nothing to do with my trials, tribulations, or the fact that I was relatively young (around 16 years old). When I started posting photographs and realized that I was basically writing about anything that was design-related, I moved the site into version 2.0. The new tagline? “Everything Design”. Original, I know.
Eventually I grew tired of writing. So I stopped. And version 3.0 was born. Now a photoblog, the site’s tagline read, “Living Life One Photo at a Time”. Ouch. Thankfully a few months later I realized that the tagline was cheesy as hell, so I dropped it, redesigned, and had version 4.0 - a pink and green design that stuck for quite a while. Then purple became the new pink, so I updated to 4.1. Version 5.0 came about mostly as a need for change. Since then, my posting habits have wavered, much to everyone else’s attention.
So now comes version 6.0 - a bit more grown up, an added touch of sarcasm, and, most of all, more focused than ever. The new design reflects a realignment of my goals and interests, away from “everything design” and towards professional photography, film, and cinematography. Face it: I am a film major that wants to direct music videos, and the old site format simply didn’t communicate or allow for that.
Anyways, I hope you guys dig the new look. There’s still a bunch of refinements to be made, so if you come across a dead link or a poorly-styled page, turn around and try back later.

Now why is it, that every time I decide to check out if you’re still alive. You’ve just reïnvented your site.
Try to stick around this time. ;)

Adam,
Been an admirer of your work for a few years. Really like the new design, definatly a bit more grown up. Take it from someone over twice your age.
Ouch, that hurts.

Great Job, Adam! Though your old site was great, this is even better. Precise, simple, and intriguing. It’s witty and charming and perfect for where you are in your life right now. I can’t wait to see what’s on the way!

Welcome back. Keep those photos and colors coming! By the way, I used your purples in my new logo. Looks good.

The new site looks lovely. I visted earlier and maybe I hadn’t emptied the cache, but everything looked really weird. It was a pink and yellow-orange combination, do you know of it? I use Firefox and Safari. Well, the new realignment is clean and neat. I am a fan of clean, sleek lines. A site can’t be too cluttered with color.

As a young designer I have been through similar Trials & Tribulations. You and I have been learning and growing at the same time. Good to see you back mate.

Thanks for the welcome backs, everyone.

Hey Adam, it’s great to hear from you again. It’s funny, an online conversation came up as to what constituted a ‘dead blog’ and I’m affraid to say that your website and name was brought up several times.
Nevertheless, I’m excited to hear you’re back. Just hope you hang along longer…lol.

I’m a hungarian ‘designer’ with the same age and the same years spent with designing. I’m used to get here if I want to get some nice pictures or something about design like color forecasts but you should post more often both of pictures and text.
I see you’re on the way where a young creative could be on and just keep rocking it!
