Pilcrow 02

PIlcrow is a juried graphic design and art journal. Artists are given a series of images to either incorporate in the work they submit and/or respond to. A jury selects the best work submitted to be published. My work is included in the final piece, which is available here:

Referrals are Nice

Since this iteration of the website launched, the site has been included in several design galleries, some of which I have listed above. For this reason, I am linking back to them. While I can not vouch for the credibility or prestige of each site, I do find it fascinating to be mentioned within them.

I received a “golden chameleon” award from CSS Illustrated for the use of illustration on the design of this website. I am particularly fond of this award, however obscure it may be.

The Inspiration Bit article on the use of the font Georgia in web design is especially nice and provides a good analysis with examples.

Statistics are Cool

Not to be outdone, graphs showing site statistics for two days following the launch have been provided. As an individual – and sole graphic designer – I could not believe how much traffic was generated in such a short amount of time. What’s even more interesting is disparity between one day and the next. Does the data prove the ephemeral nature of today’s internet users and the notion of instant gratification, or does it simply show that this site doesn’t have a lot of content worth revisiting? Probably a little bit of both, but fascinating nonetheless.

Summary

Daren Guillory is an art director, graphic designer and illustrator based in Texas. When not designing, he can be found playing basketball, running, biking, swimming or most often spending time with his wife and two children.
