Guitar Hero

“What can I say? I love rockin’ out to the plastic guitar. And, yes, Guitar Hero is a better guitar game than Rock Band.”

Say What?

You’ve just landed on Mark Jardine’s website. That’s me. I’m a highly-driven designer with a focus on web/ui design, web standards, and branding. I also love photography and drawing, which happens to complement me as a designer.

Okay, so you’re artsy fartsy. What else?

Outside of my creative endeavors, I’m passionate about cars, video games, music, dogs, toys, anime, manga, macs, technology, movies, software, and pretty much anything that’s shiny and made of metal. I live in Silicon Valley with my wife and shiba inu.

Okay, so you’re one of those geeks. Got anything else?

I have a pretty old (3 years to be exact) portfolio located at radiantmars.com which is in dire need of an update. You can also or IM me if you have something to say.

I was looking at your code trying to figure out how to steal your icons and noticed you were using reversed-out transparent pngs. What’s up with that?

First of all, don’t steal from my site. That’s just wrong. To answer your question, it’s set up to swap the colors to match the illustration above. For example, I can turn the accent color blue or green. Pretty nifty, huh?

Getting Social with Me.

Here’s where you can find me on the web:

Twitter

If you really want to get to know someone, follow them on Twitter. I try not to spam followers with what I ate for breakfast, but the occassional useless post escapes me.

Facebook

Facebook is a great way to keep in contact with friends and family. I only add people that I personally know. So if you are one of them, be sure to add me.

Flickr

This is where I post my photos. Comment on them or add me as a friend.

Del.icio.us

This is where I bookmark all of the sites I’m interested in.

Digg

I don’t participate much on digg, but it’s great for finding interesting stories.

Last.fm

I use last.fm to track the music I play. One of these days I’ll attempt to listen to the recommendations based on my listening history.

DeviantArt

All of my drawings are posted here. Well, most of them are.

Plugs.

Random links of companies, products, or services that I use and believe in. No affiliate links—just good ol’ fashioned link love.
