04 weeks ago
Well we made it this far…7 years in business. Whew! Time really flies when you’re as busy as we’ve been. Ryan and I have been blessed with some great employees, clients and most of all very supportive families. Here’s to all who have made this possible and to looking forward to the next 7 years! Cheers!
I couldn’t ask for a better partner and friend than Ryan Stemkoski. Congrats buddy…it’s been fun. I’m ready for the next chapter.
The Mother of Projects
02 months ago
It takes a little while to get to know a new staff member before I can come up with an appropriate character for them. Lauren Hallett joined the Zipline Interactive team at the beginning of the year and I think we finally came up with a good one for her.
As a momma cat, shes very helpful and nurturing, but not afraid to grab someone by the scruff of the neck if needed. We are really excited to have her at Zipline and she is making a great partner for Paola, our other account executive. They are both a huge part of the companys success.
Im sure youll see much more of Lauren in the comics this year, but right now she needs to get back to organizing the chaos like a mother.

No SEO Guys Welcome
Don’t get me wrong, SEO is a very important part of what we do. And we have some good friends who are SEO guys…but they’re the good ones.

The Monsters of Web Design
As web designers we all encounter those creatures that make projects harder than they need to be. Halloween had got me to thinking about this so I had to capture a few of those monsters here. What monsters have you encountered on your journey through web design?
Facebook Happiness?
07 months ago
After the initial angst of the new Facebook layout, I found that I really like the overshare feature of the live ticker. The live ticker is that scrolling bit in the upper right corner that is usually filled with Spotified updates.
Fast forward a few days and guess what…my Facebook layout has been reverted back to some previous version! After spending way to much time combing through account info and FAQs, I can’t find any way I could have broken my Facebook. Looks like I’m one of the lucky people to find a bug. I was really liking the new updates…while they lasted.
I sent in a message asking for some help, but I really don’t expect any response. Guess I’ll just have to be happy with this version and hope that it fixes itself when they update something else.
Thank You Steve Jobs.

What would our lives have been without you?
I have been using Apple Computers for over 25 years. I remember the computer lab back at old Mead High School with all the 512K Macs and the Mona Lisa the teacher had. I remember being one of the only design students at WSU doing my assignments on a Mac. I remember buying my first Mac, a Quadra 6100 (the pizza box). And now all the Apple products I carry with me daily.
I remember when I started out as a designer and the Mac was just starting to make it’s way into the industry. It was truly magical….and it still is today. Thanks to Steve Jobs for his leadership, drive and creativity. You are one of the great masters. Your vision has truly changed the world.
Vintage Pantone Book

Peter isn't too impressed with my "vintage" Pantone book.
OK…so I’ve had my Pantone book for a while. I suppose when the book is almost as old as one of my designers it might be time to spring for a new one.

This is a sketch for the first strip. I’m just using this for a place holder as we get the new blog format going. Keep checking back to see the progress.
