Ask us what we’re looking for, however, and most of us won’t know. Though we can’t articulate what we want, it’s clear that we all know it when we see it. Design helps us see it.

Plenty of time my clients suddenly become art directors after they see my initial design. “I think the header should be bigger.” “I think the color should be darker.” “How about moving the image down a few inches.”

This week, I have been working like a buffalo on the rice field with the speed of a horse on the racetrack to redesign the GWSB News and as the same time to kick out the new issue on top of another site’s priority. The newsletter comes out every other week and I am responsible for putting it up, so if I keep on patching the old design with the 1990s’ codes, eventually they will come back and bite me in the ass; therefore, I went ahead and revamped everything from the ground up. The new design is much cleaner and easier to maintain. Now I can sleep.

Oh yeah, there’s a quick blurb about me in the archive.

The good old downtown Lancaster is where I grew up and The George Washington University is where I am currently at.

NPR discusses jazz standard:

One essential quality of a standard is timelessness. Good tunes often evoke the era in which they were written, and then resonate for years to come. Many were widely popular right from the start, touching millions of listeners across all demographics.

“The Words” NPR profiles jazz lyricists:

Songs can have an effect like no other art form. Great lyricists put in the heart and soul, and master interpreters add the flesh and blood, forging the combination of words and music that makes up the magic of songcraft.

A tribute to “The Singing Instrumentalists“:

Many jazz horn players cite vocalists as their main influence in developing a personal sound. In turn, many vocalists are as inspired by instrumentalists as they are by other singers.

Both “The Words” and “The Singing Instrumentalists” are highly recommended for aspiring jazz singers.

The new site for GWSB’s Graduate Programs has launched. It looks clean and simple, but has a few functional issues since the site was designed by a design agency, not a web shop. You can tell by the pop-up menus, the top-right navigation looking like a breadcrumb trail and, most importantly, the codes.
