Screenshot of Republicans Against 8 site

My lastest project was actually launched over a month ago. Under the art direction of my client, RSC Partners, in conjunction with the Log Cabin Republicans, I developed the WordPress theme for the Republicans Against 8 site.

I had a lot of fun working with RSC on this one. For one, the rounded boxes with the gradients, combined with the type used for the sidebar buttons, are a charming throwback to the developing days of online design. Tempered by judicious proportion and layout, it was a risky move, but I personally think that we pulled it off.

I am not one to post YouTube videos on my site, so I took the time to learn how to resize YouTube videos and to use fish-on-Friday (I could call it Kosher, too…) code for them. The top-row tabs were a new interface flourish that I plan on using on a few upcoming projects.

The Republicans Against 8 project not only expanded my portfolio, but has taught me a few new tricks that I can use. I’m a low-volume designer who’s a stickler for details. This isn’t my full-time job and is a source of meager supplementary income, but making websites is fun for me, and with every project I aim to learn something new about the craft and this one certainly has met that goal.
