To promote the release of the highly-anticipated Aperture WordPress theme, one of the most flexible and beautiful themes in the known world, I went ahead and put together a desktop background for your downloading pleasure. Go ahead, tell your friends.
Because it’s Monday and because I like you, I am releasing a vector scale icon that comes with 4 PNG icons in 512×512, 256×256, 128×128, and 64×64 and a PSD that has a smart object Illustrator file that can be edited for your needs (CS4 compatible). Click on the image above to see the sizes of the PNG versions. If you do happen to use the icon for anything, please do let me know, I’d love to see where you use it.

One of the cardinal sins in the design community is stealing someone’s work and calling it your own. About a month ago, a good friend notified me that his site and portfolio were completely ripped off by a guy he found on ThemeForest. The guy basically took his entire portfolio, slapped a new logo on it, and uploaded it to his domain. My friend was distraught about the whole situation and had no idea what to do. As a Christian, he wanted to help the person, and wasn’t sure what the best approach would be. Obviously, he wanted to get the stolen portfolio taken down. At the same time, he didn’t want to come off as merciless or cruel by completely embarrassing and discrediting him by blasting him throughout the halls of twitter and Facebook (which seems to be a common practice lately). This got me thinking: What’s the right way to deal with a design ripoff?
Old School is a grungy, flexible, beautiful, magazine-style WordPress theme with lots of options and ad zones, making it easy to build a blog from scratch!
By selecting a category in your Old School Theme Options, you can set items to rotate as featured on the homepage, which are automatically cropped to fit the 980×240 image area.
In addition to the homepage slider image, you can also reference a lead-in image for each post.
This theme allows for drop-in ad HTML viewable in the following locations: above content, below content, above sidebar, and above footer.
If you’ve been following my twitter stream this weekend, you know that Kyle Steed came into town to hang out. It was really nice to meet Kyle in person and show him a little bit of St. Louis. We had the chance to talk design, work on a project together, take the Anheuser-Busch brewery tour (can you say free beer?), take some photographs around town, head to a Cardinals game, and enjoy some great meals in the Central West End and the Hill. Kyle met my crazy kids and lovely wife and won a Jameson Irish Whiskey t-shirt at Bar Louie.
Make sure to check out Kyle’s St. Louis Flickr set and new website.
