New and better!![]()
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![]()
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 If you click his logo you will find his twitter ![]()
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!
