I’ve been busy for most of the summer strengthening my portfolio with two campaigns: Lava Soap and Southwest Airlines. You can view the artwork for each client by visiting my portfolio page or clicking the links below:

An Opportunity Apart
Also, something amazing happened to me in June while I was least expecting it. I [...]

Summer Building
Monday, July 13th, 2009Identity Refresh
Friday, April 24th, 2009My old identity was extremely arbitrary and mildly embarrassing. The spaces in the letterforms served no purpose, and the typography, consequently, suffered greatly.
Hard Refresh
Conception
The inverted refresh icon fashioned to represent a capital G is immediately obvious, and the simplicity is intentional. I didn’t want anything overly complicated or “neat-o.” It needed to illustrate my passion [...]
Realign 2009
Friday, March 27th, 2009Since its launch in June 2008, the first functioning version of geoffthibeau.com has overgrown its original design. There were many features I wanted to add that were near impossible to implement seamlessly. The sidebar was quickly becoming a distraction, and dear old Bob had an embarrassingly misspelled balloon.
I had to rethink what I felt was [...]
Invalid Twitter Breaks IE
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009So apparently the code I was using to generate tweets on the sidebar was invalid, and forcing Internet Exploder to crap out an error message that didn’t allow the browser to view the webpage. A replacement plug-in has fixed this error.
Apologies to the seven (give or take, with me testing) IE users.
For others using Twitter’s [...]
CMS Upgrade
Sunday, December 14th, 2008Wordpress™ has released 2.7 so I will be upgrading the site in the next few minutes. Please be patient if things go awry during the update process.
/Edit @3:34PM
Upgrade complete. I don’t think any changes will be visible to the blog, but significant changes were made to the back-end, content management section to this site. Time [...]
A little over a month ago, I created a twitter account. You may have noticed my “tweets” at the bottom of the sidebar. My account is linked to my Facebook status as well, because most people I encounter daily have accounts there and don’t really know or understand (the benefits of) twitter.
If you’d like to [...]
Wordpress Blog
Sunday, July 27th, 2008Okay so I know I promised a design-worthy post, but I’ve just implemented Wordpress™ on my website. So now, instead of emailing me feedback, you can post it right here on my website. And hopefully, with this cms, I’ll be posting more regularly. At least, that’s the idea.
Short Update
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008Thanks for the immediate feedback. I’ve implemented some of the changes most of you suggested; most notably the web section now opens in a new window. I appreciate any other feedback or suggestions.
I think I might make a ‘links’ page next. And on it will be www.fontburner.com. I’m going to have to try that out [...]
