Shiny Shiny Shiny Site of Shiny
Posted October 1st, 2008 00:57 by Bob
I have just launched the Shinytastic website v1.0 - http://www.shinytastic.com
Again I am not 100% happy with it, but I suspect it’s a case of being too close to be able to look at it properly. I’m going to be spending more time on it later in the week (hopefully). This month sees me hit ten years of doing this stuff for cash and this the first time I’ve had a website advertising my services. This is possibly the hardest site I’ve done in years. I think the homepage needs a good rehack and the template is possibly over-simple. I’m willing to take the risk on it. I’m not lacking work right now and (outside of this blog) I’m not going to be overly promoting it for a while so I’ve got a chance to hack it about and improve on it in the interim. To be honest I look around at a lot of my peers and they all seem to be as damn useless at their own websites as I am, regardless of the quality of the work they do for their clients. Am I just making excuses now? Possibly, but it’s two in the morning. Goodnight.

anxious silence is
The 'personal creative blog' of Bob Barker. The intention being to include purely bits and pieces of creative work and hence build a portfolio in a very lazy manner. My primary purpose in this life (so far) is as a web developer with occasional forays into the world of design and illustration. I also own a camera, I guess this makes me a photographer (of sorts). On occasion I write music and also run Line Out Records.
I run the web/media studio Shinytastic, we make things shiny (web development and multimedia). I'm fascinated with many forms of creativity including animation, typography, photography, film making, illustration, design and some other stuff. My writing skills suck.
I spend as much of my life as possible away from people and technology talking to wildlife. I am fond of tea.
