This was done with pencil, ink and photoshop.  This image is available for purchase exclusively (meaning I won’t use it for any other projects).  For $200 it can become your next CD cover or film poster!

Google PageRank pt1

Posted on Feb23 2009

Hits coming from search engines are called organic visits. If you’re a business, however, you might as well call them new customers. Most businesses invest in a website to expand their customer base, unfortunately, without proper attention to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) a nice website can sit unnoticed.

Each click that leads to your website is a vote. These votes are weighed with additional factors that ultimately determine a page rank by a search engine. The process of ranking every website is so elaborate, an independent industry has developed to provide search engine optimization. Companies can now guarantee page rank results by adjusting html files and adding specific content. Optimizing a website can run up to $3,000 and can turn a business into a multi-national company within a year. For the best explanations, visit Wikipedia’s search engine optimization and PageRank definitions.

Debra Beers – 2008
Wordpress, HTML, CSS, PHP, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator

Debra Beers is a Portland, Oregon artist that has been showing her art since the 1980′s. Her site runs off WordPress with the NextGen Gallery Plug In. The bulk of this project was actually prepping over 200 images to be used for the web. A large number of photographs needed to be cropped, touched up and the levels adjusted. Fortunately, I have experience in image prepping from working on product catalogs. This experience helped me keep the project within a reasonable time frame. Her website can be found here: http://www.debrabeers.com.
