Sabramedia - Web Development

These past few weeks have been amazing. Within the past month, events have occurred in my life and my Jonathan’s that can only be attributed to God’s providing hand.

Jonathan and I have moved from our home near Fort Wayne IN, to French Lick IN, about 4.5 hours southwest of Fort Wayne. about a month ago Jonathan met a young man named Nick at a meeting. The two of them began talking and discussing the different things they do. They only had a few minutes to talk, but Nick ended calling up Jonathan later and they talked more. After a few hours of discussing via the phone, they decided it would be extremely important for everyone involved to meet together.

After praying about the situation and deciding that it was the right thing to do, Jonathan and I set out for a drive down to Nick’s house. We spent the weekend with him and his family and had a wonderful and relaxing time. We decided that Jonathan, Nick, Gunnar (Nick’s brother-in-law, a [kind of a] viking! [actually Norwegian]), and myself would work together as a team.

Jonathan and I headed back home, and over the next two weeks we tied up loose ends and packed to leave. I will definitely miss not being around my family! I will especially miss my two baby brothers; one is over 2 years old, and the other is 7 months old. I know that this move was in God’s plans because His providence opened the way for all of this to happen, and in am amazingly short time.

We are now planning to work together as long as the Lord would have us work. We are staying with Nick’s parents, who have graciously opened their home to us and given us rooms to stay in.

I look forward to seeing all that the Lord has in store.

The Makings of a Portfolio

Mold Blogger Logo

This week I have begun to put together some vector art in my portfolio. Jonathan and I came up with this little fellow for a niche site of ours, the Mold Blog. I had a lot of fun drawing this guy.

In this portfolio I’m going to be showing some of the logos and websites I’ve been blessed to work on in the past few years, along with links to tutorials (as often as I’m able) to show how I’ve drawn different things.

I believe that we can only receive as we are able to give, and it is with an open heart that I will gladly share many of the experiences I’ve been blessed with in designing and developing online.

Adobe Illustrator CS3

Adobe Illustrator CS3

I have been an avid user of Illustrator for a few years now. I began my online vector drawing experience using Macromedia Flash 4 back in 2001? I’m not entirely sure. I have always liked the look and feel of vector, the image scalability from very small to large without pixel loss. Anyways, I really enjoy vector and designing in vector.
