It’s been a while since I provided an update to this blog. I’d like to share some work that I’ve done for my clients and go over some of the basic technologies.
1. Xtown.ca
Xtown is an extreme sports facility located in Quebec, and they have an excellent indoor track for motocross, ATVs and more. For Xtown we’ve provided web design work, as well as PHP/MySQL programming work in order to allow them to manage members, bookings and payments on the website through the front end and back end. It is an …

You can buy a nice high-rise condo in downtown Vancouver, mortgage free.
You can buy 3 Lamborghinis with that (depending on model and price, but I found one brand new at 133,xxx GPB).

At the current stock value, you can get over 1,500 shares of Google. (Right now, $515.49)

Or. You can get this ugly ass logo.

Look at it. That’s the official logo for the London 2012 Olympic Games, as revealed on Monday. Since its revelation, here are the results :

50,000+ have signed an online petition to scrap it.
It’s been condemned …

Right now, as you can see in the other sections of my website, I’m re-designing everything on my site. It will be a much cooler site that is easier for me to update later. I will reveal and explain the CSS code and what not later as a tutorial.
This new website incorporates a lot of CSS tricks I learned through Wordpress, and will be a hell of a lot better than the last design which took me very short time.

I was surprised at the poor results Google returned when I searched for “difference between vector and bitmap” on Google.com. Every single first-page results were either not clear enough, lacked the proper visuals for explanation, or were too complicated (such as discussing the file size and performance ratio for vector and bitmap files). So, for once and for all, I will define on the internet, what the difference between vector and bitmap images are.
1. Bitmap Images (also known as Raster Images)
Bitmaps are the more common type of images that you …

So, your client wants to have a logo or a design made of a flower. Obviously, you do not want to actually put a picture of a flower as the logo – that’s just unprofessional, and the resolution will limit the ability for larger scale prints without loss of quality.
What you need is a fully vectorized version of a flower – but how do we do that without actually drawing it out? Well, we all know about the trace tool. But Adobe Illustrator CS2 has the best live-trace tool ever …

As far as I can remember, Robb DeVore was a guy who left some meaningful and encouraging comments on my blog, and I did my best to return the same favour. Many of you probably I’ve been posting, on average, once a day for the last few days which is very abnormal for me, and I’ve been kind of lazy on leaving him his well-deserved comments.
Robb and I are both in the web-design industry (or at least part of our businesses revolve around it) and we have a certain understanding …

A new segment that is being added to my blog is the Web Development Progress Report, which is a blog about my progresses with certain website contracts I am given. I will show you the test site, describe how and why things are done in certain ways. Hopefully this gives newer desginers/coders, as well as more seasoned veterans some ideas. Input is welcomed, but due to the fact that my projects have a time-budget (how many hours can I put into this project for the money I’m getting) as well …
