Classic Gaming

Classic Video GamesFor the interested among you, I've added a new page to my online portfolio. The page wasn't supposed to be very involved, just a quickie to slap on the front section of a 9-page legal ad, but I found a neat story on the wire about classic video games. I put more effort into this page than most, and I like it very much.

Naturally, I featured Link and The Legend of Zelda because I recently purchased that classic NES game for my Game Boy Advance and have been playing it a lot lately. Contrary to the beliefs of a certain delusional gamer -- you know who you are, K -- Link is a badass. Ryu Hayabusa will fall before his blade. Ha!

The creative impulse is often described as similar to giving birth, and this is one of those rare and oh-so-satisfying times when I can look at a page I've designed and think Jesus, did that really come out of me? It makes me feel good, like I'm really capable of decent design work and not just spinning my wheels until someone gets tired of the shit I normally crank out.
