Matt Gipson | Blog & Portfolio of a Web Designer http://www.mgipson.com A blog about web design and me.

So the more important news I’m going to sneak in here… which nobody will probably notice is, I’m itching to do more work! It has been a while since I’ve done much freelance work. StyleSurge is sort of my web design company you could say (I did the branding and website design). Really it’s just a group of people with a broad range of skills in design, programming, and more. The idea is… based on the project, I’ll assemble a team of experts and we’ll do the creative production work at an affordable price. Contact us if you are interested. We are always looking to collaborate too!

10 free horrifically evil 32 x 32 pixel icons.Take these icons and use them however you please, if you dare. Note, the icons in the zip file do not have the gloss and glow.

Rebuilt from the ground up, IMAMuseum.org has just soft launched. This is what I, and so many others at the museum have been busy working on lately to say the least. We’re on course to launch officially next week. Rob has a great blog post highlighting the details of the site, and changes you can expect. Check it out. It is built on a 960 Grid System which I’ve been using like crazy lately. I highly recommend it.

Yep, I still love to sketch I’ve realized recently… After working on ArtBabble I’ve had the itch to keep on sketching and trying to find an excuse to work up some hand drawn elements for web design. These are some unused characters I drew that I figured I’d give away since they’ll just collect dust. Feel free to use these in your graphic designs. They are separate 300dpi PNG graphics. Download here.

I just finished up a WordPress custom theme and install for houstonsportsrapp.com, a radio show blog for my homie Ish (from Lower Life Form…. another site I did way back). I’m falling in love with WordPress at the moment…
