sky render is the product of a year-old idea to go professional. Services
provided are web design with hosting and photography, but may also
include logo and print design.

I just acquired my domain and web space a few days ago, but I haven't
uploaded a (worthwhile) site yet.

None of the following images are/will be optimized for 56KAY. Feel free
to leave any comments or criticisms.

Website for a local mediterranean-style cafe. Awesome authentic
European food and drinks. I did their current site a year ago, however
the owner won't give me any more information to put on the site due to
major procrastination.

This is the site for my classmates' game and web hosting company. They
used to offer web design by me until I broke away from them due to
conflicts with the backend developers. I am still, technically, part owner
of it. The site has a template, but no content to fill it.

As mentioned above, sky render is my website for my own design company.
I'm in the process of testing different layouts for the final release. This
may be final.

I completely scrapped my previous design for something a little more cleaner
and robust. A friend said that it stands out much more than the last design,
which as the new designer in town, helps me out a little bit extra.

The first logo design I made for my site. This was originally going to be
finished into a pop art grunge piece along with my site. I favor my newer
style a little more.

The most current version of my logo. The coloring of the text in the logo
will vary depending on the site's color scheme.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They look nice enough though, although I'd question the use of your logo on both your's and your mate's sites.

I do take pride in creating most of the sites I make into usable web templates using XHTML + CSS. That's the whole reason behind being a web designer.

And about the logo thing, originally I did use it because I considered myself a branch of the FissionCore guys. Now, I don't have much to do with them so the site and company is rotting away, but the design belongs to me. It's mine and I doubt FC will be around much longer. C'est la vie.

I created a much brighter design of my portfolio site since my friend bitches and complains about the old one. :/

I may change a few little things, but this is pretty much final. Also, constructive criticism is actually appreciated.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
