About Rob
I am a graphic designer, artist, writer, and thinker living in Philadelphia, PA. I am a slave to rock and roll, an insatiable sweet tooth, and my BMX bicycle. I hope to some day destroy my complexion’s greatest enemy, the sun, the life-sustaining center of our solar system. Oh, and I am available for freelance web or print graphic design work.
About the Site
I am interested in tradition and innovation in equal measure. This site’s design aims to unobtrusively adapt the typographic traditions of print media to the web. I’ve always loved the densely ornate editorial layouts from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and with this project, I challenged myself to achieve a comparable charm within the much more severe typographic limitations of the web, while acknowledging the different “rules” of designing for the screen.
Under the hood, it is coded for compliance with web standards, which is to say it is built according to W3C recommendations for accessibility by separating structure from style through the respective use of XHTML and CSS. This allows the site’s content to be accessible to a wide variety of devices. This is the first site I’ve built in this way. It won’t be the last.
