I got this email the other day. I thought I'd just publish the answer since I've gotten this a few times, and if it's helpful to anyone, it can't hurt. So here goes:

My name is Justin and I really admire your web work.I would like to get into (X)HTML/CSS and some AJAX …

I just put up Swiss Theme version 2. I felt like it needed an update, so I put some more time into it today. You can go to the tumblr page or just download the text file. This version includes a search bar and an overall update to the design. Still all black, white, …

Blog and Portfolio

If you're subscribed to the Pixelspread feed, I'm sure you've noticed that post frequency has gone down quite a bit. I've been thinking of ways to pick it back up again and I think I've got a pretty good answer. The more and more I use tumblr, the more I enjoy it as a …

Tumblr Updates

In the past week or so I've been working on a lot of tumblr themes so I thought I'd post a full update. I've created two new themes, updated the design of tumbl.us, and updated the design/code of hasaportfolio

The first theme I created this week is called Rounded. …

Summer's Over

I just wanted to post a brief update. It's been a while since the last one and a lot has happened. I'll be making some updates to my portfolio very soon, I've got a lot of freelance work done over the summer, so I've got some nice new work to show off. I've also …

Summer

Summer has begun and I've realized I haven't made a post in a long time. Over a month I believe it's been. But I'll tell you why. I have good reason I promise...

First of all, if you've been here before you probably know that I run a clothing company called Turn …

A Brief Update

It's been a little while since the last post. Life has been incredibly busy. That's a good thing though. Design, design, design. That's how I like it. Since my last post: Turn Nocturnal has released a new shirt. WuChess was announced and I'm in the process of …

Serifs on the Web

It's been a little while since I've uploaded to the /demo folder, but the more and more I see beautiful serif type around the web, the more and more I feel like I have to play with it. And if you haven't seen any beautiful serif web typography recently, check out Seed …

The Freebies Section

After releasing so many tumblr themes, fonts, and icons recently, I've decided to consolidate them all into a section called Freebies. I'd say it's pretty self explanatory. You can click the new link at the top left or right here and go download some free stuff. I'll …

More Alphabets

I can't promise that this will be my last post about playing with Crouwel's New Alphabet, but atleast it's a step towards that. I obviously I have been playing with his designs for a few days now, and I've been thinking about what makes them work, what makes them …

FontStruct

I just thought I needed to share this new service from FontShop that I've been playing with a lot recently. It's called FontStruct and if you have any interest in typography and/or type design I'd say it's time to check this out. I'll preface by saying that if you're …

New Alphabet

When I saw the set up of FontStruct for first time, I immediately thought of Wim Crouwel's New Alphabet designs, which I made reference to in my last post. And since I've been playing with FontStruct all day, I figured that'd be a fun one to try and recreate. I tried …

Sofa King v2

I'd like to thank everyone for the feedback so far. I tried to make use of the feedback left in the comments and make a few improvements on the Sofa King theme. First, I decreased the size of the permalink images. There was some overlapped text, so this should cut down …

Money Folder icons for Free

It's been a little while since I put up the Money Folder icon set, and since then I've gotten a bit of use out of it (mostly with tweetgift), so I figured it about time to release them into the world.

Since I initially created the set, I've added 2 more, making a …

Tumblr Theme: Sofa King

I've been playing with the tumblr theme system a lot recently, especially with the tumblr portfolio, so in the midst of it, I ended up with a new theme.

This time I've made sure the colors are all customizable and there's a sidebar for all your links. The only image …

Tumblr Portfolio for Video

I've gotten a few requests for video support since I put up the tumblr portfolio theme about a week ago. I finally got a chance to put it all together today. I've been running the most recent version on portfolios.tumblr.com, so if you'd like to see what the video …

Review on Typesites

I just wanted to point everyone to my first review now up on Typesites. In case you haven't checked Typesites before, it's a great blog that gives a weekly review of websites with interesting typographic design. So far contributors include Kyle Meyer, Elliot Jay …

Dealing with Design Rip Offs

Not long after the Huge Type design was stolen, I've run into another incident of one of my designs being ripped off. This time though, someone decided it would be fine to rip off the new design here on Pixelspread. This instance was a little stranger than anything …

More from Turn Nocturnal

If you've kept up with Turn Nocturnal, you may have noticed that the Huge Type shirts have done really well. We sold out of them about 2 weeks ago. And since then we've been coming up with new designs and thinking of the third shirt we want to release.

I'm stoked to …

Tumblr Portfolio Update

I made a few little tweaks to the portfolio theme. I mentioned sticking to an aspect ratio on the first post, but obviously some pieces in your portfolio might be different formats, unless you're just posting 4:3 photos. So I limited the height of images, which will …
