Some Useful Mac Apps for Freelancers

Over on noupe.com they have a very good list of programs that make designing easier than ever.  Well, if you use a Mac anyway.  The list inlcudes various graphic editors, as well as code editors and file transfer programs that help make your work run more smoothly.

Check it out here.

The two I’m most interested in checking out are Fontcase and On the Job.  Fontcase is a font management system that handles your fonts in an iTunes style system.  On the Job is a work and time tracking software.

Proper Logo Etiquette

Apparently people have been using the wrong WordPress logo.  To help, the boys at Automattic have issued this handy graphic to illustrate the proper logo etiquette.

BluePanda is now live!

The bluepanda logo!

Well, I finally got my design blog up and running.  It’s something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time.  I couldn’t really blog about things like design, or Wordpress on my comedy blog.  It just didn’t seem to make sense.  So now I’ve created this site.

It’s an ongoing project so please feel free to leave any comments.  I’m not totally done with all the CSS so some things may look a little strange.  I’ll keep trying to fix it.  In the meantime, feel free to look around and check out my project pages.  You can see some samples of my work as well as projects that are in the works.

More to come!
