Needless to say I have been extremely busy lately. I have not been able to blog on either one of my sites. Let me fill you in on what I’ve been up to. In my day job have had too many projects to breathe. In my personal life I have been busy with wedding videos and designing my new site. However, I do have some updates as I have completed two new template designs for Hilton.com the creative team to use. I am very excited about these and I think they will make a huge impact.

First let me talk about the stripes design/theme. The stripes design came into existence due to the type of requests we get from hotels. Typically hotels submit a small amount of text with about one image for each paragraph. With this type of content I thought that it would look great if each line was a slightly different color/contrast, thus creating the stripe effect. It is a very simple design, but will roll out to all of our hotels easily and beautifully.

Second is the rounded design/theme. Both of these templates are coded in valid CSS and adhere to all web standards. Since I am using CSS I decided to use a web 2.0 look and add incorporate it in a theme. I use standard 2.0 cliché’s: gradients, rounded corners, and a star badge. I wanted this to look fun and exciting. These pages will work well with our attraction pages, and many of other themes.

I added both of these to my portfolio section. I will be adding more one off pages soon as well as designing more template designs for business/meetings, relaxing (spa), dining, and holiday type pages. I will continue to post work as it is completed.
