Re-launching Studio Xia!
The former incarnation of Studio Xia was something that Jono threw together in a week in January to as "Something to look like we're legit" when we were trying to get exhibitor space at a Chinese language conference. It worked, but it wasn't quite .... "us".
So I spent the last 3 days re-designing the website to have more personality. Check out its new incarnation at http://www.studioxia.com ! (funtimes: make your browser window narrower to magically move the whiteboard marker in panel 2!)
I did all of the artwork in Sketchbook Pro, and then the "postproduction" in Photoshop.
If you look at the HTML, the index page has a lovely range of super old-timey html (tables galore) and new-agey html (div background-sizing, wtf?)
There's still some more work to do --
I want to make "preview" pages for various products, the blog needs to fit the rest of the layout, and if Jono doesn't get around to his python magic, I'll do ye olde php include for the menu stuff. But still.... I'm rather proud of what I did this weekend.
