If you’ve been following the Facebook profile action, there’s now 8 more ways to easily create a unique Facebook profile page. No Photoshop or GIMP required! So, here’s the roundup!

Description: The Facebook Full Page Pic Generator allows you to upload an image and download the resulting image slices in a single click. However, it doesn’t seem to account for the biography on the top of the page and therefore may not output the right format. It takes a decent amount of trial and error to get right.

I’ve been thinking about segmenting my blog from my portfolio and ‘about me‘ for a while. Think no more! I took the time and went through with it.

In an initial trial, I’ve redesigned my front page and SethSandler.com now goes to a creative portfolio and short biography. No longer do people have to scour through this blog to see my latest works. Yay! The front page is a work in progress – let me know what you think.

I’ll probably be making some more adjustments down the road so my blog and portfolio better coincide. Right now the goal is segmentation and presenting a portfolio in an easy-to-maintain way.

Here’s a glimpse of some of my past work. I’d love to hear what you think!

These include: pen and ink and pencil drawings, illustrator and photoshop work, logo and magazine design and some other random manipulations.

Check out some of the dates on these; I feel old.

So? What’s your thoughts?
