The New Creattica Daily

July 31st 2009

creattica-daily-top Creattica Daily has gotten a pretty sweet makeover, not that it wasn't already awesome. Collis (CEO of Envato) was itching to try out a new larger 1200px wide design, and one that will pretty much update and maintain itself without the need to post daily roundups or cost tons of cash since the site has not been very profitable. Don't worry though, the Creative License comic will still be going strong for all who enjoy some good clean humor. As well, there will continue to be plenty of content to sink your teeth into, it will just be pulled from various sources around the web vs. manual submission.

A Sneak Peak of the New Freelance Switch!

May 31st 2009

freelance_switch_teaser UPDATE: Sites Live... After many months of hard work, Collis Ta'eed (design), Mathias Meyer (Rails), and I have reached the final stages in pre-launch testing for the new Freelance Switch.

Valen Designs Gets an Overhaul!

April 11th 2009

New Designs I'm very happy to announce the redesign. Over the past year or so since the last update things have really been progressing and my portfolio is looking very respectable with a few projects that I am very happy to be a part of. However, I have been so busy that the simple task of launching a new and improved version of this site has been something of a challenge. I wanted to completely rewrite the code and make the design as awesome as I could with the spare time I had, but I also wanted to keep the logo and expand on the colors and not change the overall ...


Tuts+ Network Gets Complete Makeover

March 17th 2009

Tutsplus Finally, all five of the Envato Tuts+ sites have now been switched to the new theme and updated branding, and I just completed the much anticipated Flashtuts+ the other day. The staff in charge of content are feverishly getting ready for a launch, which should be anytime now. So many exciting things have been happening over at Envato recently. A couple new tutorial sites, a new marketplace and one of the coolest things in my opinion to happen in the last few months is the addition of a completely new Tuts+ dashboard and redesigned members section. Now when you sign up for the plus program you only pay ...
