My name is Ryan Coker.

I am a graphic designer, originally from Orlando, Florida. Recently, I moved to Richmond, Virginia where I work remotely for an Orlando based company.

I also have another blog where I post pictures I have taken while living in Richmond.

* Penagon Memorial Note: This took us way too long to figure out, we had to ask someone that worked there. Each person who died got one of these with their name on it. If the person died in the Airplane this is facing the building. If they died in the building it faces the other way.

designers pet peeve.

Dear Client,

When you are given a mock-up of a website, look at it closely and ask yourself these questions.

1. Do I like what I see? (spend sometime thinking this one over because this of most importance)

2. Do I think this communicates/relates to my audience?

3. Do I like the over all navigation and usability of the site?

There are more question you could ponder but these are the basics. If you spend sometime thinking about these in the future you will save both time and money.

At this point in the process, telling a web designer that you are wanting to “take the project in another direction,” is 100% acceptable. Telling him/her when he/she has most of the programming done and is just waiting for content is not really advisable.

Keeping to your side of the schedule is a gripe I will keep for another day. Lets just say that if you break schedule, you are going to have to wait for me which this time could be awhile.

Web Site Story, CollegeHumor’s Internet musical. This is a serious, serious doozy. Written and directed by Sam Reich, produced by CH Originals (I’m just getting the Tumblr train going). We’re all really excited about it. If you are too, you can Digg it.

Just like the source material, I believe this will go down in the books as a classic.
