New layout, again. I like this one a lot (as if I didn't like the others) but I think it works better in a lot of ways, plus I didn't put it up because I'd just done something clever with CSS (although have done something clever with CSS, but that's not why this is up). I think it works better for this site overall, so I'm gonna stick with it. And I need to stop redesigning this site and work more on adding to the portfolio anyway. I added a few new design pieces and did a ton of cleaning within photography, removing about 50 old photos I now think are crap and adding a few new ones - I'm shooting a lot more with film lately, I realize. I don't mind it one bit, I think I'm starting to prefer it over digital. The sketchbook section needs to be updated, and I want to re-take all those photos or maybe just scan the whole thing (which I dread the thought of 'cause it'll take hours). They look terrible right now though so something has to change, and I'll get to it eventually. Tell me if you have any problems with the new layout. I think I worked out all the kinks but I could've missed something, so give me a shout if something explodes.

I think this has to be a record: a new layout in just less than two months. Usually I let a site design stick around for at least three or four months before I change it. Anyway, here's the new one, and I think it's the best thing I've done for this site yet. I got very creative with the CSS and let my inner code-geek go nuts. It was lots of fun and I did it in about 5 hours straight. This comes at a very good time too since I have a lot of different projects coming my way and I needed a better look for this site. I also finally designed my own logo, which you can see on display at the left. Although it may look simple, I only completed it after months and months of sketches and planning and ideas, and I'm very pleased with it. It'll be on everything that has to do with me and design now, including my soon-to-be-printed business cards.

If you notice any errors around the site let me know, although I've checked and everything seems to be running smoothly. I was informed that there's a problem with the contact form so I'm looking into that, and in the mean time just send me an email directly to margot@silent-t.com and I'll get back to you soon. I'll also be reorganizing the Design & Illustration section to show the work off better, but everything else will remain the same. Goodnight!

The site has been updated with a new layout, and I've revised a few sections and updated things. I originally planned to change the entire back end and use Wordpress to control everything, but that proved to not work out the way I planned so I switched back to the previous system, which works just fine.

A new section has been added: Web Design. There isn't much in there at the moment, although I have been doing web design for over seven years, I don't have a lot to show for it because it was rather unprofessional and some of it personal (and, lets face it, those first few years weren't my best). I'm looking for freelance work in the field though so it will hopefully updated with new work soon.

I've added new work to the Design & Illustration section and the Photography section, and will be adding new images to the sketchbook section shortly. That's about all for now. I did the illustration used in this layout myself; head over to the Design & Illustration section to see the original. And as always, you can contact me if you have anything to say.

I just updated with a whole bunch of new stuff. A few dozen photographs have been added since I went to so long without updating; a lot built up. A couple new pieces of design work were also added. Everything was put onto pages for 2009, but I have to admit that a lot of the photos I posted were taken in 2008 instead. I decided not to be picky and just added everything to the new page because I'll be changing and redesigning this website soon and that format of organization will be gone, so it doesn't much matter for now. More sketchbook pages will be added soon too, maybe after the new redesign.

I'm still working. Mostly sketching, some photography. My computer is still broken, so I haven't been able to do much digitally. For now school is a focus - once Apple gets my computer fixed I'll be posting a lot of sketchbook pages (I actually started a new book a while ago), photography, and design stuff that I've done in school. I'll also be doing more web design work, and finally redesigning this site as I've said I would so many times in the past already. I'm thinking about doing some comics too... but that's more of an idea in the works for now. I'm still going, going, going.
