Havoc Inspired

OK, I’ve not written one of the six page spreads’ whose titles adorn the front cover (yet), but I am very proud to appear in the Readers’ Sites showcase on page 16. Since I’ve been reading .net I’ve come across some great designers in this section and it humbles me to appear alongside them.

Havoc Inspired is the home of my personal blog and portfolio and has just undergone a major redesign conforming to web standards throughout. My aim has been to link all my online personas into one central hub, giving visitors small snippets of what’s going on in my life as they move through the site. The blog is powered by Movable Type using my own templates, CSS, PHP and jQuery for elements such as the Ajax comments and preview. I used a neon brush set in Photoshop to achieve the flame effect and experimented with gradients and filters for the background texture that is designed to pull your focus towards the centre of the site.
