More CJBoCo Website Updates
I made a few updates to the site again today. A few people have been mentioning problems accessing the project demos and downloads. I'm using Fancybox to display the demos inline and I noticed that there was a new version available. In order to get it working I also had to install the latest jQuery 1.4.2 on the site as well. Not sure if this is going to break anything, but since this site is supposed to be a testing ground for the latest available technologies, I figure I might as well make the switch.
If anyones experiences any problem, please let me know.
Still In Beta, But It's Getting Closer
I tweaked a bunch of stuff on the Creative Juices Bo. Co. website today. The Boko engine is still in it's beta phase, but what doesn't kill it, only makes it stronger. He's a brief break down of what I fixed:
- The RSS feed is now working.
- Login/Logout will now keep you on the same page.
- The password recovery page was broken.
- Tweaked security settings on all the input forms. (Contact Us, Comments, Registration, etc)
- Fixed some of the entries which still had old or out-dated links from the previous blog.
The site should run a tad bit smoother for you. If you have any problems, you can always drop me a line on the contact form. Thanks!
Logo Design Steps
So, if you read in one of my past articles, a bar/restaurant in Italy is using a logo I designed for one of my clients. They modified it somewhat, but its quite obvious that they stole it. I do a lot of logos, some I'm proud of, some I'm not. But this one, the Flannery's logo, I'm somewhat proud of.
When designing a logo, usually the client has a pretty solid idea of what they want. As the designer, it's your job to take what they say and help them reach that vision. This particular logo job was a little different, the client really didn't know what they wanted. All the really knew was what they didn't like. So it was my job to come up with a design, present the mock-ups and continue based on the feedback I received.
I just put the wraps on phase one of a new boxing news website. Check it out at www.datruthboxing.com.
Logo Identity Theft
Not sure if I should be a little flattered or pissed off, but a friend discovered a restaurant in Italy that stole one of my clients logos. (One in which I designed).
They're just using it on a Facebook profile, but still it's a little insulting because they did such a bad job on it.
