My mother gave me a book of recipes she got from her mother. It was a tattered book with yellowed handwritten pages. Page after page, I noticed, coffee drops and water drops interspersed between ink detailing ingredients and directions, notes and comments. I had this sense of obligation to pass it on to my children. I held it lovingly, careful that the pages might be torn with each turn of the page. Read more…
BUILD YOUR WEBSITE WITH FREE WEB DESIGN TEMPLATES
Looking at all the websites created and all the content it has generated, I feel a little intimidated to try to come up with a new design. It seems like all the designs had been thought out already. Nothing is new under the sun. Where else could I derive inspiration from? What else can I do? Would it be possible to think of original designs to be offered to clients? Read more…
For the past 3 days, I had been exhausting all possible ideas on how to come up with a presentation. I had no idea on how to go about it. I needed to make that presentation otherwise I will lose the chance at a promotion. How do you present a product in the most favorable light? Advertising had been my career but for once I was at a lost on how to go about it. Read more…
Publicity, good or bad is still publicity. I learned this from my mentor, a fellow wedding planner who has since retired to go off to live in some seaside house that she spent a lifetime planning. She generously offered me her business, lock, stock and barrel. It included her wedding planning shop that provides not only wedding material samples and ideas but precious information. Everything was in place. She has accumulated thousands of lists that included wedding related contacts like caterers, couturiers and others. I was overwhelmed. This was a good start to my own business as my very own boss in the wedding planning industry. Read more…
Arts being the creation of beautiful or thought provoking works add color to shapes, make harmony, melody and rhythm and give life to words. An art website can be a venue to expressing oneself, a channel to provoke that artistic point of view to look at crafts, to look at works, and above all to look at life. The art website can be a good venue to cultivating the creative capacity of an individual to venture on new thoughts and to create an expression of the different elements of human endeavors such as art, music, literature and performance.

Asked to create an art website and now becoming a fan
I was asked by some client to create an art website and honestly, as a web developer myself, this was a challenging and daunting task as I was not quite as adept in the arts and the problem was that in developing websites, I first need to feel and know what I am doing for the client so I can make a better judgment of things to place inside the site or make the site as real and imaginable as possible. I would like to put myself in the shoes of someone interested in whatever topic the site represents and see what I would like about the site and somehow this was my main problem in the task to create an art website as I was never much of an art fan and I preferred kinetic type activities or active sports and thing alike or technical..

Create an art website for all fellow art lovers out there.
Art is actually something underrated as there is just a few number of people who can really appreciate it and I guess even I myself have a hard time finding friends and people who can share the same sentiment as I do hereby limiting the number of people who I can say are artist in their own right. With this in mind, I resolved to create an art website for my distinct interest in this thing and I saw this will be a great avenue, especially with the prominence of the internet, that I might be able to find people who share the same ideas and treatment of art as I do. Actually, it was a good friend of mine who came up with this idea of how to create an art site as a means for us fellow art lovers can log in, have a forum or blog site to express ourselves and even post our new projects, events we can attend and so many other things art lovers can all relate to.

Create an art website and help out fellow artists in the process
Growing up with both parents as artists gave me a bit of advantage to be exposed to the arts as young as I was back then. I learned to paint, read classic literature and stuff as young as 4 years old as this was how my parents taught me back then and I am thankful to them for exposing me early on as now I know how to appreciate beauty in those things. When I went to college and took up arts and literature as a major, It was by this time that the internet was starting to boom into what it is today, a form of communication and database for the whole world. My friends from college and I decided that we wanted to pursue the arts more and would make constant communications through the web and finally, we ourselves decided to create an art website for our group so we can also share our passion for the arts to anyone interested in the internet.
