Today's post is about design, gaming and some people you should know about. There will also be reveal a little secret in today`s post.
After a dry period of time I`ve decided to continue the work on this site with renewed focus. And with a happy spirit.
I thought I would start off this new era with a new design. First of I made some changes to the website myself with a new theme and added new things as well as deleting some pages, feel free to look around and see the changes.
Then after that I roamed the internet on the hunt for a graphical designer who could make me something I could like. I stumbled over something great, Nerd or Die!

Above you can see the new banner and to the left you can see the new logo, these are just a few of the things Nerd Or Die have made for me
I want to introduce you all to some awesome people from Nerd or Die which is a small group of brilliant people.

Mini-Interview with Nerd Or Die

Lately I`ve been asking this kind of question to most of the new people I`ve met, it`s always inspiring to listen to and I`ve also gotten a lot of tips and trick as well as life lessons this way, you should try it too. So of course I had to ask Derek as well:

Did you get an education for graphical design or did you just suddenly end up working with it?

Derek: No, I went to school for something completely different.  I always liked to mess around in Photoshop, web design, and even 3D programs. One day I sort of fell into a job where they needed a graphic and web designer. So, I just started teaching myself through books and online tutorials.  Which I think is why I got into making Twitch and graphic design tutorials.  I always thought I could make them a bit better, so that's what I`m going for.  I try to put myself in my shoes 6+ years ago and think about what I would need to know, and put that in the tutorials.

Could you give us a quick idea of Nerd Or Die?

Derek: Nerd Or Die... I started it years ago, and for the past ~2 years I've been doing free resources and designs for Twitch.  Lately, we've had a lot of requests coming in, so I brought on two excellent designers/friends to start helping me out.  For this project, I worked mainly as Creative Director and Chris did a majority of the design

The graphical designers

Nerd or Die

Derek is the one I`ve had contact with. He was professional and polite all the way through the process and managed with ease to discover what I wanted even with my brave, but not well formulated, description. 
I didn`t think about it at first, but he is located at the other side of the world from where I`m from, but he still didn`t bite when I bugged him in the middle in the night.
He also had a good routine for his work and there was no confusion about deals and dates. At this point I know I can trust him to keep his end of the deal in future commissions

Chris is the newest member of Nerd or Die and were the one who made most of the designs for me. I must say he did a marvellous job and I wish him all the luck in world in the future as a part of Nerd or Die!

The end, and the secret!

It`s been a good experience commissioning these people, I suggest you all consider them if you ever need a team of graphical designers in the future. They listen, suggest and they don`t bite, even if you bug them all around the clock.

This is a fitting start for the website and myself. Now, time for the secret: I will reveal that you may see more of me and this design on twitch in the future. I`ll know more in July/august. But more of that in a later post.

Talk to you all soon!
