Okay, so I admittedly liked heynina.com as soon as I thought of it.* I consider it an impulse buy even though it took a little over 24 hours to finally pay for it. Chantanapummas take their purchases seriously. We’re complicated people.
So it’s heynina.com for at least a year. For now, it will be a contact point for the graphic design freelancing I’d like to do. The blog will stay at theignition.net/blog until I figure out if I want the trouble of moving it over.
There’s just a placeholder for the moment until I finish a few projects. Somehow I have to become an expert in php in a few days. Just so I can sleep better. And make some $$$ when I wake up.
*The tone of voice I hear when I think of “Hey Nina” is one that suggests that a big favor is needed from me, usually to the tune of “my computer is broken.” You could say I hear this a lot.
Not so much physically, but mentally.
The creative part of mind has been jumpstarted by a few projects that have landed in my lap. You know, the part of my mind that was molded and sculpted and awarded a degree from Texas Tech a few years ago? Yeah, it’s still there. Lots of dust. Layers of dust. But it’s still alive.
Within the month, I’ve designed a t-shirt, a logo, proposed three different website redesigns, converted a Wordpress site into plain html/css, and am currently working on redeveloping a personal site to promote my design services. (If you go to plain ol’ theignition.net, you can see what I created two years ago.) I think I’ve nailed a personal logo for now, I just have to decide on a domain name. Oh. And design the entire site.
These are on the brainstorming table for domain names (and if you jack these, I will shake my fist at you!) Just imagine these phrases with .com or .net after them and let me know which ones you like. Or maybe suggest some. I’m aiming for professional, but maybe with a bit of personality. My first choice would be ninachantanapumma.com but I don’t think I’ll win any business that way.

Okay, the last one is a joke. I need to go to bed. I have some potential clients I’ll be meeting with tomorrow, so I need my neurons firing full power. New season, new season.
p.s. - If you or someone you know suffers from “graphic design deficiency,” I’m available for print and web design!
