Wow, this short month really got away from me in the blogging department! My apologies, but I promise my absence was not without reason. Here is a recap of what has been keeping GetCreative busy since my last blog post.

February Recap
Wednesday, February 29th, 2012Trend Spotting: Brackets
Tuesday, January 24th, 2012Accompanying our new post series ‘The List’ is another new series here at Getting Creative called Trend Spotting. The inspiration for this topic comes from the creative forces at Design Shack, and the posts will focus on current trends in the design world. I will provide examples and critique the usage of each trend as it applies to the web design, graphic design and/or photography industries.

Today I will be highlighting two new sites: Plastic Surgery Associates and Central Virginia Neurosurgery. Both of these projects were in collaboration with Bill and Susan at Dayrich Enterprises, as well as their designer Stan.
The List: Jan 6
Friday, January 6th, 2012Happy New Year, readers! Welcome to The List, a collection of random things that have caught my eye in the past week or two. The List will include an update on what some GetCreative clients are up to, some goodies from ‘the internets’ (as my husband says), and anything that seems worth mentioning. If it provokes a smile, makes my life easier or is generally awesome- I will share it here.
Client Profile: The Vintage Junkie
Monday, November 21st, 2011
The Vintage Junkie is a local business in Lynchburg, VA featuring the artistic talents of Amy Calandra. The Vintage Junkie boasts a gorgeous collection of re-purposed vintage jewelry and accessories, and is Amy’s second business venture. (We are currently discussing a new look for her first company’s website, Light of Mine Designs, as well.) Working with a fellow artist on this project was a nice change from some of my more business-oriented clients; Amy’s input certainly influenced the creative design of the site. Click through to see how this artistic collaboration turned out!
Work + Travel
Wednesday, October 5th, 2011
In the past we’ve discussed maintaining your business while on vacation, but what about taking your work on the road? I spent last week away from my physical office, but without taking time off. With some advanced planning and the right tools, working away from home can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
The List: Sept 30
Friday, September 30th, 2011Inspired by a desire to update you after my recent blogging hiatus, I have created a new post series called ‘The List’. These posts will be a collection of random things that have caught my eye in the past week or two. The List will include an update on what some GetCreative clients are up to, some goodies from ‘the internets’ (as my husband says), and anything that seems worth mentioning. If it provokes a smile, makes my life easier or is generally awesome- I will share it here.
Friday Finds: Flexbox
Friday, July 22nd, 2011
Today’s find is a handy tool for configuring website layouts. Design Shack recently posted a helpful article on website layouts featuring Flexie. Flexie offers support for the Flexible Box Model, a CSS3 tool that may just be the future foundation of website layouts. Much like tables are a layout tool of the past, today’s use of the ‘float’ attribute may soon be behind us as well.
Friday Finds: Background Patterns
Friday, June 17th, 2011
As I hinted at last week previously, I have a great resource for background patterns to share with you. The simple program for creating backgrounds at BGPatterns.com has become one of my favorite tools lately. The possibilities are endless, with results ranging from sleek and polished to grungy vintage. Read on to see details and more examples of this great resource.
Tips & Tricks: CSS Gallery
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011
Whoops! I’ve been a little sidetracked working on some awesome new projects for clients (details about that one and more coming soon), and have neglected to follow up on the blog posts I promised you here. The wait is over, and today I’m going to share with you my favorite new CSS Photo Gallery. It is super simple, very lightweight (CSS + HTML only), easy to implement, and customizable, too. With credentials like that, how could it not be great? Read on for the source and some helpful tips and examples.
