I needed to crerate a site that would serve both as a portfolio and résumé, plus give me a place to be able to post mix sets and other nonsense.  Since the web is never-ending, it would be folly to ever call a site "done" (espeially when it's my own project, and not a contracted job), but this new incarnation fits what I want to do with the site and feels like a significant enough milestone to post.  Here are some shots from the trilobyte.me web site.

I wanted to use some well-placed icons to call out key areas of personal interest for me.  They don't link to anything, but are things for visitors (or would be employers and patrons) to have in their heads as they peruse the rest of the site.

Below is a thumbnail grid for a lightbox gallery on the site, showcasing some of the different art projects I've been involved with over the years.

I wanted to have a place where I could share some of my favorite mixes and performances.  Sites like Soundcloud are great for hosting, serving, social connections, and music discovery, but it can be challenging to try and present a collection of favorites.  Playlists and spotlight functions work differently than from how I would like, and can tend to change without any notice.  Additionally, the draconian content detection and filtration systems they employ do occasionally block me from uploading a promo mix, even though I'm clearly not distributing full track songs or albums.  With the space below, I'll be able to host and post some of that material.

Starting with Adobe Muse and a theme from QooQee.com I was quickly able to building the site I wanted.  As with a lot of templates, I get more from tinkering and taking elements apart.  After deconstructing a bunch of the elements, I added my own HTML5 scroll effects features between sections, as with the cat picture below.

The section below is still something of a hodge-podge, but I think that's to be expected with an assortment of flyers and adverts that all have different sizes and ratios.  Further adding to the jumble is the video embed, featuring clips from one of the events I'm best known for.  I intend to tweak this in the near future, as well as to go back to the source footage from the older clips and then re-cut and re-post them in HD where possible.  The to-do list is endless...

And then finally here's the bottom of the site.  Muse let me easily add a captcha layer to the form to cut down on spambots (thank goodness).  I kept the social media links to a minimum in the navigation menu, but expanded on the social media connection icons at the page footer.
