Derek’s personal websites over the years
Hi, there. You're not logged in. So, you must be a visitor. Welcome!
What is this? You are viewing one of our supplemental "Stories." In addition to our core design curriculum, we are constantly building out additional resources. Stories are a collection of real work tasks, design history, UX explorations, and work-throughs. Stories are often off-the-cuff and less concerned with production value.
Introduction
Derek probably made and remade and deleted many many personal websites that never made it onto the internet… but here are a few that did.
Business card site: 2012
Basic client work based portfolio: 2013
notes:
Show gray version? where was that one?
2014 was when I was going to do all of the site in just CodePen… https://codepen.io/sheriffderek/pen/AzeJdQ
Then 2015 / almost did this new website based on this ^ where I was going to have my friend conor do lots of visual design stuff too – (he’s a photo retoucher) — and got the whole things setup
then 2016 – put up the pink site (which was the front page for this ^)
and then – really / didn’t need a website any more… because I was already hired places – and trusted…
And then that just stayed there… tell the whole business card part…
then – I made this most recent one last year – because of another funny story – and needed to get something up in like 10 minutes… and that just stayed there….
then the very most recent one – was just to egg on the students …
and the real one… is hidden away until later this year.
