Here are some samples of my work.

Web:

PhotoshopStar was my top project for two years, until I sold the website mid 2008 via the SitePoint marketplace.

Over the two years that I ran this Blog I learned many skills, such as:

• Web/Blog Design (designed 4 custom WordPress themes for this Blog alone.)
• SEO (achieved first result in Google for “free photoshop tutorials” and page one for “photoshop tutorials” which brought in a lot of traffic. The key is semantic markup, quality content and a lot of links!)
• Content Creation (wrote over 80 unique Photoshop tutorials for this Blog alone.)
• Website Promotion (some use of social bookmaring/network sites, but toward the end of my reign, PhotoshopStar was receiving thousands of visits (daily) from other websites and Google.)
• Basic Programming Knowledge (I did pick up plenty of HTML and CSS, and a little PHP, but I never coded my own websites. I always outsource my HTML & CSS coding to a friend, then to a separate WordPress coder.)

There have been some changes made to PhotoshopStar that I would consider offensive both aesthetically and usability-wise by the new owners.

My current hobby Blog. Redesign (pictured above) under construction. See preview.

Free Blog theme for TechTreak donated in a contest over at The University Blog. I had to work quite closely with the owner to complete this design. As a designer I’m not exactly satisfied with the huge amount of bells, whistles and doodads attached to this design, but it did come out fairly well.

VirbShowcase is another simple personal project. Simply created to showcase beautiful Virb profiles.

Custom-designed by myself, runs on WordPress.

Very simple design for Developer Hut homepage.

Website design for personal project of Joseph Burford.

Banners:

For banner design I have a flat rate price of $12.50 per banner, no matter what size. I’m also happy to make as many iterations as necessary.

Graphic Design:

My first set of icons. A very simple social media icon set with 17 icons, released on Blog Perfume.

Created a similar text effect as used to promote the “Bee Movie” and wrote a tutorial on how to achieve the effect.

Designed this using a downloaded vector and grunge textures. Also wrote a tutorial on how to achieve the effect.

Designed some nice subscribe badges using Photoshop, and also wrote a tutorial on how to design them for yourselves!

Redesigned a flyer for IT Poslovi, my good friend Dejan’s website.
