Hey, I went and redesigned my website from top to bottom. And not one to shy away from Internet buzzwords, the design is totally responsive. Go ahead and resize your browser all over the place — from widescreen to mobile phone, I got you covered.
Big thanks to Ethan Marcotte and his book Responsive Web Design. In fact, all those A Book Apart books have been invaluable in keeping me up to speed on What’s New in Nerdtown.
Shiny! OpenSRS has posted some photos of the BMA Award that was won for the rebranding I did for them along with the folks at Happy Worker who produced the action figure based on my Service Guy character. Congrats all around.
OpenSRS sports team logos
Several weeks ago, Ken at OpenSRS asked if I’d be interested in helping him invent some sports teams to exist in the OpenSRS universe — sports teams that the mascots and characters that populate their website would potentially join or be fans of. These teams would be realized in the form of t-shirts for OpenSRS staff and clients. Here are the final designs, which I think turned out great. In addition to designing the logos, I also got to brainstorm and give the teams their tames.
I thought I’d share some of my process. After zeroing in on the team names (rejected ideas included the Zambonis, Netizens, Dribblers, and Bowl Weevils) I sketched up some rough ideas: 
Ken liked these, but wanted these shirts to be tied closer to the OpenSRS branding. I took my favourites from the various roughs, and redesigned them to incorporate the colours, shield, and star from the OpenSRS logo: 
Eventually we used different colours for each sport, but these refined roughs were enough for me to then create the final versions.
