Holy smokes It’s alive! Well sort of…
I told myself months back, heck maybe even years ago, that I’d get my personal website up and running in a somewhat respectable state. Well many weeks and beer cans later, as the story goes, the promise I made myself was not fulfilled.
Although there have been many variations of markpetrowsky.com, most of them usually consisting of random directories and splash pages for freelance projects I did in my off hours, I’ve never had a nice clean user friendly site that communicated with the outside world just who I am and what I do as a professional. As many designers may know, I personally have always found it extremely difficult designing anything for myself. In fact maybe it’s the toughest job a designer may ever have to deal with. You know all those questions that get turned on yourself, instead of the client (OK a little overboard I know, but maybe I’m just being dramatic to compensate for my procrastination for all this time). God knows how many wasted nights at the drafting table and how many abandoned mockups, html, and css files are crumpled up in my local trash bin. Well, it may be be a bit too early to jump and cheer just yet, but I’ve got a skeleton up with the help of my trusty friend Wordpress and hopefully over the next month or two things will become a bit tidy around here.
