Adding rounded corners to web part header for SharePoint 2010

I wanted to add rounded corners to the out-of-the-box web part header in a SharePoint 2010 site. Looking around in Google’s initial results, I found a couple references to Heather Solomon’s article about adding rounded corners to a web part header in a 2007 site, but I didn’t especially love that the rounded corner didn’t [...]

Nothing But SharePoint Logo Design

Nothing But SharePoint is a joint venture between Jeremy Thake’s SharePoint Dev Wiki, Mark Miller’s End User SharePoint, and Joel Oleson’s SharePoint Land, combining the resources from these three popular SharePoint resource sites into one location. Originally, Marcy Keller was handling their design and SharePoint branding needs, but when she had to step out for [...]

Customizing the HTML code of a Content Query Web Part

I’m learning all about SharePoint branding as part of my new job at Synteractive, so this post started out as a reference file and notes on the steps I was taking. It ended up being an insanely long blog draft and I decided to throw it out there to see if more experienced SharePoint superstars [...]

The Mission Church of Boston site redesign

I’ve worked with PK of Imperial Consulting on several different projects. One of our recent projects was a site design for The Mission Church of Boston where I provided the site design and HTML/CSS and PK hooked in the content management system and other nifty back-end features. PK IMed me this morning letting me know [...]

Will design logo for iPhone

Or, My Fastest Logo Design Job Ever. My coworker-friend-whom-I’ve-never-met-in-person, AKA SharePoint Queen herself, Heather Waterman, happened to ask me the other day if I wanted her old iPhone since she upgraded to a 3G. After finding out that it would impact us by $30/month for the data plan, I decided to go for it and [...]

Print Design: FBC Brochure

This is a project I completed several months ago, but it’s taken me a while to actually take pictures of the completed product! A couple years ago, I had created a simple tri-fold, two-color brochure for my church. This year, they asked me to put together a full-color, updated brochure based on a shorter, wider [...]

Web design: The EHR Group

I wrapped up a web design project a couple months ago for The EHR Group. Mike Uretz, the Executive Director, came to me with a several-year-old FrontPage web site. Mike thought the web site looked dated and wanted something more contemporary. As his business consults with medical professionals about what electronic health record system would [...]

Exercise in Photo Editing

I thought some people might be interested in seeing some examples of photo editing. As I mainly work in web design, I have an easier time with photo editing because web images are relatively low resolution and don’t require as much painstaking attention to detail. Below are two photos of a condo development and some [...]

Gear Desk Logo Design

A project I’ve wrapped up recently also has the distinction of being the first job I’ve gotten from a blog reader, P.K. I was asked to design a logo for Gear Desk, a (beta) directory for high-end build-it-yourself audio gear (updated 8/24 – sorry, P.K.!). P.K. had some specific ideas initially and asked for some [...]
