Etcetera, Etcetera
All the other stuff I'm (not) currently working on
I'm always starting new projects. They are never really dead, just forever in progress. Here are a few points of interest for those curious to learn a bit more about shaunline.com.
Pop Culture Digest | popculture.shaunline.com
It went through many iterations—starting out as a tiny email list, then various attempts as a website—but I never quite found the time to do what I wanted with it, so it's been rolled into the new shaunline.com blog, where in addition to posts on design, web and technology, I'll post on other things that spur my creativity. The PCD may be dormant, but I leave it up for posterity (and search engine love).
Cover Art Gallery | shaunline.com/coverart/
Even up until about a year ago, I'd make CDs for myself and friends. Being a designer, I couldn't just send them a blank disc in a non-descript case, so I'd make custom cover art for anything from bootlegs to mixes. The gallery contains only a small portion of that work, but eventually I hope to get it all up there. I don't make much anymore now that iPods have taken over the globe, which is sad, because I love cover art.
iTunes Watcher | shaunline.com/itw/
This was not my creation, but the content is all me. This one actually gets updated almost every day, so long as I remember to turn on the little app that connects my currently playing iTunes with a database. I'd like to create a new template of my own styling, but at least the original "Championship Vinyl" layout looks pretty snazzy.
Shaunline v2.0 | shaunline.com/oldsite/
Version 2, built with Flash. I liked it then and I like it now for its heavy use of whitespace and simple navigation, but it was a pain to update and was obviously neither accessible nor search engine-friendly. So I took the best of the design and morphed it into the next version.
