Minimal Portfolio Design
Originally I was planning to design this site in a minimalist fashion. I really liked the design I came up with, but it just didn't feel like me. Minimalism is what I strive for in application design, but for my personal site I just wanted to do something more illustrative and playful.

About Me
CloseJust who are we dealing with here?
Greetings! My name is Andrew Colclough. Professionally I am a designer and front-end UI/UX developer. On the side I enjoy doing game artwork and UI design with some of my developer friends.
I love my work because to me it's the creative equivallent of Legos for adults.
As you've likely guessed, I'm a total nerd at heart, so Internet software is the perfect niche for me. I love to code, I love to draw, and I love to create experiences which are as beautiful, as they are useful.
On the personal side, I love my wife and my family, grace, economics, liberty, football, video games, and have a special appreciation for "epic power-metal."
Skills and Experience
I have been working as a designer and front-end developer since 2005. Take a look at my resume to learn about my work experience. While there isn't an aspect of web technology that doesn't interest me, my key strengths are in graphic creation and front-end UI/UX interraction development.
As far as tools goes, I'm all about Photoshop, CSS, Compass Framework, SCSS, HTML, HAML, Jquery, a bit of Ruby, and a whole legion of rapid prototyping tools. Additionally, I like to bust out pen and paper and some copic markers to quickly throw down ideas.
About This Site
I created this site to be fun and interesting to look at, and the design is obviously inspired by game UI. Feel free to poke around and get a feel for my design work. I have some exciting plans moving forward, so what you see here is really just the begining. I hope you enjoy it!
If you're curious, here is what my previous site design looked like:
Tech Props
- This site is built on Ruhoh. A killer blog aware static site tool built by Jade Dominguez.
- Themes and design make use of Twitter Bootstrap.
- JQuery and JqueryUI. Seriously - what else dominates this much?
- Dribbble gallery brought to you buy Half Court Shot. A 1337 bit of javeascript composed by Rogie King and Mediahack.
- Until more browsers support styling scrollbars, I'm using a great custom scrollbar js by Manos
- My image gallery uses the slick View.js by Rogie King.
