Making progress on the Second Impulse site

As I mentioned in my previous post, thanks to a friend of mine who manages them, I’ve been granted the webmaster/designer roll for the band Second Impulse of Baltimore. The layout of the site has changed, but now it’s near completion. We hope to launch tomorrow. So far the band is thrilled with the work I’ve done, which makes me very happy face.

SI is a great band who has actually been around since 2005. Sadly they’ve never really taken very good advantage of all the internet has to offer. My friend and I aim to change that. Aside from creating the website, I’ve been helping with creating artist profiles for Second Impulse on as many indie music sites as I can find, like Purevolume, Unsigned.com, etc. I also have a few other tricks up my sleeve yet.

Here’s a screenshot of the latest layout. Still keeping it simple, but widening things about it.

Crazy Cloud Over Moscow

If you haven’t seen this amazing cloud footage from Moscow yet, it’s worth a gander. Of course many are already claiming it was created by aliens. I would guess it’s most likely just a strange weather occurrence. Aliens would be cool though.

Got me a new gig

So I have a friend in Baltimore that manages a great hard rock band named Second Impulse. They need a quick website to be online by the end of this month, so naturally my friend got in touch with me knowing I’m capable. It turns out there’s a good chance I’ll be doing the CD artwork for Second Impulse as well as websites for other bands in the Baltimore area as well. It’s always nice to have connections ;D

For now it seems we’re probably going to be using the following layout or at least something pretty similar. In the future we may do something more elaborate, but this should be fine for the time being.
