More and more portfolio sites have been morphing into blog/portfolio sites, or blortfolios as I call them (I wonder if this word will catch on ?). During the process of designing this site, I compiled a list of my favorites blog/portfolio sites to inspire me. Here are some of them, along with a few observations. (more…)

Featured Work: SimoneStudio.com
To mark the launch of my latest project (head over to the portfolio area to see screenshots, go ahead, I’ll wait), I tought I’d give a short overview of the tools I used to do it (in no particular order).
Blueprint CSS
Blueprint is a CSS library that resets the basic styles, provides a grid for horizontal spacing, as well as a baseline for vertical spacing. It also comes with a few other nifty typographical settings, and in the next versions might even include default form styling. I used Blueprint for this very website too, but this was my first time using it for a “real” project.

SimoneStudio
SimoneStudio is a design studio which was founded by my grandmother, Simone Revillard. During the first half of the 20th century, it produced various kinds of textile prints. Although it no longer employs designers, the studio still exists and sells its vintage archives. My mother now takes care of business, and I helped her by designing the website.
SimoneStudio home page
The website uses TextPattern, which is a very flexible and lightweight CMS (Content Management System).

Welcome !
Welcome to my blog & portfolio. If you are reading these lines, then everything has gone as planned, and my website is now floating somewhere in the cyberspace, waiting for someone to stumble upon it, then digg it out of the ground, and hopefully find it del.icio.us.
I decided to build my own little place on the net because I needed somewhere to put up my travel journals, showcase my work, share my tips and tricks, and just rant about anything I want. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the mix of all of this, and my biggest wish is that this website will be useful to its readers. My second biggest wish is that it brings me new customers, which is why I’ve set up a portfolio area to show my previous webdesign work.
So feel free to look around, and make yourself at home !
