Look Ma! Let's put it on the fridge! Websites - BHCreative

The first live website I created was my portfolio website. While I created the logo bad in the design of the website, I created the website based of another site I saw which was simple.

I released this site in 2005. By 2008 it was losing it's flare. I was ready fir an overhaul. I wanted to do a Flash website, and haven't yet. I didn't like the address - it was too long. www.bhcreativemediadesign.com. This link no longer works. I let the domain name expire and I am planning to launch my next portfolio site from a new name on a server that allows a little more.

This site was hosted off FreeServers.com. I was satisfied with the service, but I was looking to move my site to ASP, which I didn't have the capabilities for with that site.

I think I'd have to lean more towards some lighter colors and a better, cleaner, look and feel on the next release. Instead of relasing something out there sooner, and being less satisfied with th results, I hope to build something I like, then release it.

Here are some of the other pages from that site:

Look ma! Let's put it on the fridge! Logos - BH Creative

Wow, why am I posting this one again. In color here. Before I had any conversations with others about design and logos, my creative little dreamer came up with this big no-no. Not really appealing anymore, the maiin font is probably a poor choice. And the icon or symbol come only in a Photoshop effect metal glaze.

It worked well on the web though. Unfortunately, the domain name expired and I have no portfolio site. Hence, welcome to my effort. One of the worst parts was that my pride & joy in this idea was misinterpeted by several. The icon is intended to display an slightly abstract representation of the letters "b-h-c" for "bh creative". The "h" is capital. The line between the "b" and the "c" make up the middle ine of the "H" - there's a name for that line which a professional logo designer would know and most likely have to explain in a proposal I would guess.

So here's the downer of my designs. the one where you have to explain it to mom and whoever else looks at the fride. "No, see it? SEE IT? It's RIGHT there? It's the line between the 'b' and the ... nevermind ..." The design you have to explain. And no one wants and explanation. they want clarity in design. Most branding probably doesn't need a tag of explanation on it. But it got a little better. It was the base of an idea that may develop.

The hat was a sketch that drew my little misunderstood icon closer to my heart. It was like that loving hug a mom could only give her smallest ugly kid. And no-one else could touch that feeling or would ever want to. Get out of here you ugly little !@#? !!!
