Say what now? Ruminations of one Qa’id Jacobs

Archive for the 'Newly Hatched' Category Grouped Archives

… your eyes are not deceiving you - this humble little blog is now sporting a new steez. I was working my way through the web a few days ago - trying to prepare for a potential Wordpress design and development job - and came across a dude who had put together a fly template called Salmon. Yall that know me know I love to eat the Salmon. The Salmon is good. The template had my attention from the get - add to its props the fact that it was a nicely designed template.

The designer made the template available, and I snatched it up. Gave it a QJ / archisense rework and here it is living in front of your eyes.

In the process I have become excited anew about chronicling life a bit and have recommitted myself to keeping the blog a little more alive than it has been this fall.

Brandon King's Word BKI’d also be lying if I said I wasn’t inspired by the blog, photography, and general dopeness of a brooklyn based photographer named Brandon King. It took me a minute to get over the jealousy since that cat is clearly living his dream which is his hustle which is his dream. I’m on that mee too tip … striving tho, so no longer jealous, just proud and inspired by another bro doing his thing.

As summer is moving along, I’ve been blessed to get some new works to focus on:

  • Reflect-Connect-Move is a non-profit that has tapped me for a logo and a website. Fresh!
  • The Safiya Nuh Foundation is also in need of a website - on the quick fast too! I’ve got about two weeks to knock this one out, but I’m confident about it since the style they want is minimalist and clean. Dope!
  • The New York Chapter of the Black Data Processor’s Association is in desperate need of a new website. I mean desparate. Which is not to say anything about the organization - I actually don’t know much about the organization just yet. But I reach out to them to see if they were interested in a new look for their site … they were … but only pro-bono style. Eh, I thought about it for a bit, but I’m down if they can be patient while I make a living at the same time.
  • The Black August Hip Hop Project’s annual benefit concert is coming up in a few weeks; so I jumped on in there and volunteered to work with the ever-talented Aaza Blue on this year’s logo … and ultimately on the website: www.blackaugust.com

There are a few other things here and there that are bubbling up … so the summer’s bounty continues to be … well, bountiful.
