[06.07.2009] - social networks, fixes, etc.
I noticed in my excitement of the new php system I forgot to reassign the "It's Not Our Earth" project. This error has been remedied, and I added a few new photographs to it as well, so don't forget to check that out. If I find some time this summer, I hope to extend the campaign a bit... a few posters, possibly get the booklet mass-produced and hand them out, and actually design the website and get that all setup.
In other news, I finally succumbed (after years of protest) to getting on Twitter. In my summer boredom I decided that it couldn't hurt... plus there are myriad design firms and blogs that update via twitter, so it won't be a huge waste of time. You can find my twitter at twitter.com/studioimbrue. Also, today I spent hours upon hours creating a Behance profile. I currently have zero members in my "inner circle," so if you want to be the first, be my guest! I'm also considering updating my biography page with a little bit more information about myself, so be looking out for that as well.
Update [Sunday, June 14]: I updated my biography, be sure to check it out.
[06.04.2009] - many updates (after three months)
Well, it's been a week of relaxation after graduation, and I finally had time to fix some things on the site and add some more projects. Portfolio was a pretty excellent class, and my portfolio turned out excellent. Once I finish making the case for it, I'll get some photographs of it and put it here. I made a few updates to some projects for this class, so I accordingly updated the sections here. Pizza Rustica also changed its name to Trattoria Rustica, thus allowing me to redo the logo, and I finished the menu & business card set, so that was updated. Also, I completed an identity system for the Punctual magazine, and I finally got some photos of studioimbrue's identity system as well. I've added two new projects, the Woodworth Journal and the Japanese Book Set.
Also, I was getting frustrated with dealing with multiple HTML files: every time I add a project, I had to go into each and every HTML page and add the link to the list. Instead, I implemented a dynamic PHP menu, therefore all I have to do is update one file and the rest is done for me!
Finally, I have gotten the news: I'm attending SCAD for one more year to achieve my Master of Arts in Graphic Design! I was awarded their prestigious $15,000 scholarship and will begin classes this Fall. At least I get to relax and have some time for freelance this summer. Also, as my graduation celebration, I'm going to Peru in December. I'm going to see the Taquile and Uros Islands, Lake Titicaca, the Sacred Valley, the Inca Trail, Machu Picchu, and sleeping in the Amazon Jungle for a few nights. Exciting!
As I have more time now, I will be searching for more freelance work. I'm always open to discussing some possible projects or giving some direction on your own project. You can contact me at steve[at]studioimbrue.com
[03.15.2009] - three new projects
Well this quarter certainly was hectic, but I made it out alive, and with some portfolio-worthy projects as well. I've taken photos of three of the projects I liked the most and posted them here. The Camellia Sinensis tea set, the Joseph Kosuth booklet/poster, and the It's Not Our Earth awareness project are all a part of this update, so if it's been a while since you've looked around you may want to check those out. Let Spring Break begin.
[02.08.2009] - New Design
Well, it has been quite a while since I actually updated studioimbrue (about three months) but that doesn't mean that I haven't been doing work. I've cleaned up the design a bit, organized the menu system, and changed the image viewing mechanics. The new site should feel a little more elegant, and hopefully it's easier to use. I've added a handful of new projects to the left (6 or 7 actually.) I hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor. Again, if you have any questions, comments, or commissions, don't hesitate to contact me.
[10.13.2008] - Pizza Rustica
I finally finished the new Pizza Rustica website. Head on over to the web design section for a slightly more detailed description, as well as links to other sites I've done in the past. It's been a while since I've updated, so I should have some new stuff up within the next couple of weeks.
[07.07.2008] - PRINTS! (not prince)
Studioimbrue is proud to present limited edition Cactuar posters! There will be a total of 15, which will be 2-color screen printed on French Paper's Pop Tone. They will be 24''×18'' on 65lb cover weight. Here is the original and here is a picture of a test print. The actual prints will look a little better, of course. The cost is $35 plus shipping to wherever. The actual cactuar itself is about 8''×8'' and is placed a few inches from the bottom in the center.
If you would like to request a print, drop me an email! Also I'll be uploading a few new things soon so look out for those.
[05.31.2008] - Site Updated!
Alright, the site is finally finished! I completed it ahead of schedule, so I went ahead and put it live. I will soon be adding photos of my business cards/letterhead/envelope, so look out for that! Also, I will add some more of my writings on here soon, so check back for that as well.
[05.02.2008] - Updates
Well, recently I finished my own personal "brand," so in light of this development I have decided to slightly redesign the site in order to be more congruent with my identity. The current deadline I have set for myself is June 25th. So look forward to seeing a new site, some pictures of my new identity system, and a full redesign of the Harry Potter book series's jackets.
