2005-2007

Not much changed between 2005 and 2007, but this was how the homepage and most of the site looked then. It had a random header on the home page. As life got busier, more emphasis was placed on the blog.

2003

July of 2003 brought many changes, including a revamped and simplified main page for artlung.com. A stark image announcing "Onward," combined with a list detailing events in my personal and professional life.

2002

This splash page was originally in blue, and was in place starting in early Summer, 2002. It is in xhtml and uses CSS forlayout. The pixelated design, coupled with the personal touch of my face gives a warm, friendly feeling. The page is filled with links, encouraging visitors to explore.

2002

"Kitties Thinking" is one of my favorites. A DHTML effect is used to explain what the links are in a "thought balloon" above the cat's head. The cat in question is my sister's cat Ferris. The image is a charcoal drawing I did sometime in 1988 or 1989.

The precursor to "Kitties Thinking," this design appeared as the splash only briefly.

"Joe in Headphones" is an experiment in color for me, based on a photograph of me as a kid, listening to records. I might have been listening to "Philadelphia Freedom" or maybe "Theme from Batman" - but I sure look comfortable. The use of small accents here, using CSS and xhtml, is meant to give a clean, but friendly impression.

2002

DHTML plays a prominent role in this design, as the links are only available that way. The picture of me is rather flat though, despite the fun use of colorizing effects. As an academic exercise in CSS positioning, this was a success.

This is the first use of the "Graffiti ArtLung" logo, with a bold digitalized pink backdrop. Also used is a grunge effect on the main links, which lead the visitor directly to the blog, or open a lower section of links to the whole site. I also like the use of bar codes on this page.

joecrawford was put live in 1999. The idea was for it to be my professional page, as increasingly my site was personal.

This was the initial design for joecrawford.com. Several elements and the color scheme carried over to the actual site.

I put in a framework that lasted through Summer of 1999. The architecture was based on server-side includes as implemented in Apache. The volume of pages here makes an SSI approach make a good deal of sense. Additionally, the framework would accomodate almost any content inserted. The goal was always to have the sites' HTML and CSS validate. This was an important value and the site rendered very consistently across browsers. The layout was designed to be "liquid," that is, it would stretch and squeeze in to accomodate almost any screen resolution. The principle of making pages work as well as possible, across as many browsers as possible was, and is, an important one to me. It was with this design that I began using the domain artlung.com.

This website got me a good deal of work. It is a portfolio and a personal space. I think it did its' job very well. This was my second public website and was hosted with earthlink.

This was my first website posted to the web. It's rudimentary, but features the things that have been a hallmark of my personal site since then: many outbound links, lots of art, and a resume. It's a good first site, but not a good site.

This is my very first website. It was never posted to the web, but was the very beginning. I have come a very long way since then. The parody (ripoff?) of the Art Center College logo, sized far too big, is the site's only prominent feature. l

Other old things? How about .sig files. Also, many of these things can be found at web.archive.org, who take on the task of archiving the whole web.
