ProcrastinatorsCalendar .com got “re-imagiNed” as well
After I reinvented my LifetimeCalendars.com website these last few days, I performed a face-lift and marketing makeover on my ProcrastinatorsCalendar.com site, migrating improvements from one to the other. The main thing I did was to replace the 12 second animation (that my stats showed was killing sales) with a zero-second graphic, right in the flow of the page. I also sped up the header animation by a factor of two. Now we’ll see if this transforms killed sales into killer sales.

LifetimeCalendars.com offering 100-Year Calendars has been re-imagiNed
LifetimeCalendars.com was my original sales site for my “One of These Days…” 100-Year Calendar-Posters, one of my first Conceptual Artworks.

Aha, I understood. Nevertheless, in order to help my client get her “Buddha unstuck” (and for us to get started on her website), I created this … (More …)

It’s just like re-invention all over again
imagiNed.com is “re-imagined” as my central hub website, connecting and chronicling all my creative projects.
Here’s a conversation about the icon I created to represent imagiNed.com:
CJ: I like the colors but think the sole letter “i” doesn’t explain what you’re doing enough.
Ned: The “i” is for imagiNed, imagination, ideals, ideas, intelligence, integrity, ideation or idiocy. The “logo” is a fancified version of my website’s favicon. Ideally, the favicon will convey meaning even at its limited size of 16×16 pixels, which mine does with the purity of the white “i” (innovation, intuition, intensity, inanity). Ahem, the purity of the white “i” of intent is contrasted with a rainbow background of possibilities. Yeah, that’s it. (More …)
