Web Designer for Hire
105 <h5>Think in code</h5>
106 <p>Act in Visual Harmony</p>|
Hi, Ed Menje here. I'm a consummate perfectionist and designer with an eclectic background in both the audio and visual arts. Presently I'm focusing my attentions to designing web sites and web graphics. Being older than most in this field, I bring a greater wealth of experience to the table and an understanding that most sites require restraint in the use of visual trickery and server side scripting.
With this in mind, the design of this site reflects that philosophy. Rather than try to impress with wild formats and tricks useful only to portfolio sites, I present a more usable site, like that which is the "bread and butter" of web site design. The portfolio aspect of the site strives to show clean, valid and functional coding written by hand and not generated by WYSIWYG editors like Frontpage or Dreamweaver.
In my other lives I have been a comic book and cartoon artist, a rock drummer, radio dj/talk-show host/scriptwriter and audio engineer, graphics studio production person and even a picture framer. This varied creative-focused background allows me a deeper perspective of the full spectrum of presentation media.
My Whirled and Welcome To It
Personal, but still graphics driven
Site-Within-a-Site: A completely different approach
I have lots of personal stuff to display and discuss. I'll start here to give you a little taste of what's to be found in the pages of "My Whirled". Go on over to these pages for more of my inimitable ramblings and graphic sensibilities.
On this side of the site I present other self-imposed design projects, like:
- Skins for the PortableApps Menu (A USB program launcher)
- Desktop Customization (Windows and Tinycore Linux screenshots)
Also some screenshots and thoughts about my Tinycore Linux customization I'll also show off some photos I've taken. This will also be the part of this site where I let my hair down (impossible to do literally any more) and write and design anything that strikes my fancy.
