As I noted before, I’m trying to get three more sites done before the end of the year. One of those sites is the official site for the Virtual Book Tour. Kevin and I spent a few hours talking about it last night, sitting in the World Cafe in Baltimore and hacking out ideas in Photoshop. It’s going to be a pretty site. Folks who are familiar with Kevin’s site won’t be surprised by the final design – it’s like a cousin site to the now-sadly-closed Central Booking, with a kind of fun, funky font and rich colors. This one, though, is done in gold, cream, cranberry and orange. It’s pretty and elegant, warm and inviting, and it should be going live sometime very early in 2004, if not on Dec. 31st 2003 (to meet my personal deadline). Stay tuned!
I’m also working on a project for another friend of mine that’s based on computer education, and another couple of client sites. Again, stay tuned. With a little luck, there should be some fireworks here at the end of the year. 🙂
