WTF Mac Store


WTF Mac Store, originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson.

Well, this is a good example of bad design.

A co-worker showed me this. Sometimes a cute idea can end up making a mess.

The sign is supposed to say “The Mac Store” but since there’s no space between the letters it looks like it says “WTF Mac Store”. OOPS!

Dance of the drunken firefly??

I’ve been working on a redesign of my site. Actually it is a redesign and consolidation of the two sites I have posted. I’m putting my site and the site I share with my husband back together. I had broken our site into two a few years ago. Now they need to go back together. Jason needs to have his portfolio online and I need to have something presentable to help promote my book.

Our shared site - JC New Media - is a train wreck. It hasn’t been updated in years. It’s such a mess l I took down everything but the home page last week. Having nothing is better than what was up there. It’s old and tired looking. There are a ton of samples that haven’t been posted. What a mess!

My own site is not much better. It all needs to be rewritten. I don’t have up to date samples up either - I didn’t have time to post and some stuff didn’t get posted yet for various other reasons (odd timing issues and such).

I just want to get it done so I can go outside and play with my cameras. Winter is leaving and I’m starting to want to get out.

The whole thing is making my brain hurt.
