Look, a brand new fishbucket.com!

Historically, this site has been a bizarre assortment of pages that were haphazardly slapped together. And that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, it was a fun way to show my goofy 70s people, plus I never wanted this site to feel corporate. (I vote YES on sweet 70s ‘staches and NO on wordy case studies and empty marketing statement garbage.)

While the randomness of the old pages was fun, I figured a cleaner homepage and blog and some sort of “navigation” could be useful.

So here we are! The cast of characters is the same, but there’s a little more order around here. The revamped portfolio is easier to navigate and won’t be left neglected for months/years anymore. The quote request page works as it used to, and the blog has moved off of the homepage and into its own comfortable corner.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Full disclosure… I assume most professional web designers are in the same boat, but with a full client load it’s hard to find time to work on your own site. To expedite the process, this site is based on an excellent theme by Orman Clark. Check him out!

Hop back on the Soooooul Traaaaain… We relaunched the site this weekend, going with more of a news/magazine feel and brightening everything up. Check it out!

He’s back! Gilbert Arenas now plays for the Orlando Magic, and since he’s no longer with Adidas he’s free to wear whatever sneakers he wants. We set up this calendar-style site so his fans can keep track of what shoes he wears every game:

GILBERT ARENAS IS THE SNEAKER CHAMP.

This was a collaborative effort, involving Dustin Canalin of UNDRCRWN fame, and Paisley Benaza of DOSSIER.

Check it out…

Another fun project… BOOTS N’ WIGS is your go-to spot for pictures of BOOTS and WIGS. Uses a yearbook theme, so you can browse through the pages of this fantastic class of crazy people. Check that out!

Just relaunched a bunch of stuff for Billionaire Boys Club to show off the forthcoming Season 12. New homepage, blog and lookbook. Get that!

Just watched the teaser for the 4th Transformers movie. IN 3D!! This will probably be the first 3D movie I see in my life since Captain EO.

This is strangely similar to the teasers for the last two: In the past, we ran into the Transformers! Hard to tell what the angle is this time. But hey, I’ll be there regardless. I fully expect it to be disgustingly awesome and/or awesomely disgusting. IN 3D!

Two albums are out today that everyone should be aware of!

First, the new N*E*R*D album. I managed to get an advanced copy, it’s good. Get that! (iTunes link here)

AND, a possibly more monumental release… our potential next governor, Jimmy “The Rent Is Too Damn High” McMillan, has a new album. It’s (obviously) called The Rent Is Too Damn High (Volume 1)

Part 2 in my Flashback series, the official site for Kelis. This was created to promote her album Tasty, with the hit single Milkshake.

This was the first all-Fishbucket venture: design by Steve, development by Chief. When I look at some things from the past I think “huh? what was I thinking?” But when I look at this today I think “hey, I still like that. This one wasn’t bad.”

Hey look at that, late last night we relaunched the N*E*R*D site with a brand new look for their upcoming (at some point) album Nothing! Big thanks to FriendsWithYou, Mr. Mikey Millions and of course the Imperial CreativeDirector P.

Digging through the vault… it’s kinda weird to look back at things I designed years ago. I’ll see what I can dig up and share. This one was a mini-site promoting the Neptunes compilation album CLONES, launched summer 2003.
