….they’re very much alive – at least in the music industry.
The semi-distant days of pointless flash animations and being caught off-guard by some annoying music blasting when visiting a site have thankfully passed (at least in the sensible and modern design world), and though many would argue that splash pages make for a poor user experience – music marketing would beg to differ.
Well-designed, frequently-updated, and silent(!) splash pages can serve as excellent promotion for announcing an upcoming release or tour, providing download for an exclusive track, advertising exclusive pre-orders or merch bundles, or to encourage fans to follow them on social networks.

Definitely a fun site to design!

Well, I hesitated even adding ‘winter’ into the title of this post because winter is barely here! Being that it’s the middle of December and we still haven’t seen the first snow, I really don’t feel like fall has left us!
I’m still having fun with my Canon Rebel and figuring out this whole photography-thing. Being that we have so many animals around this house – I can’t help but make them the regular subjects of my experiements.
Here’s some of my photos from the past couple months:
