The Actors Creative Website

Posted in Australia, Australia 2009, Uncategorized on September 29, 2009

While in Australia I had the chance to go to a few of the acting classes that Derek’s mom taught at the Actors Creative Studio. You can see the mini-tour video I made here: http://bit.ly/3TgZUL

Suzie (his mom) told me she wanted a new design for the A.C. website, and considering she was kind enough to let me stay in her home throughout my trip to Australia, I offered my services :)

We went through a few bumps in the road, with not being able to decide if we wanted a splash page, then switching through 3 different font & color schemes, then how each page would be similar to the old site and which ones would be completely different. In the end we came up with what is now the current site:



Australia Day #9

Posted in Australia, Australia 2009, Videos on August 16, 2009

Thursday (the 23rd) early-afternoon, Derek and I decided to take his mom’s convertible to drive out to Newport to pick up my newly fixed laptop. We drove the scenic route, and stopped halfway at West Head Lookout. At night we went to acting class at the Actors Creative Studio (which you can see my tour of here: http://bit.ly/3TgZUL) to perform a little Christmas skit.

Music:
I’m Like a Bird by Nelly Furtado
Wizards in Winter by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Derek and I finally made it to the Mac & Me store, picked up my macbook pro, then started driving back home. We discussed what I was gonna do for work once I got back to Huntsville (since I was going to need a bit more income than I’ve been receiving lately) and decided that I would start up Apple tutorial classes on campus. The closest Apple store is about a 45 minute drive from SHSU, and I know a lot of students who could benefit from learning outside of basic design classes. I’ll write another post about this if it ends up working out :)
