This site’s original design and graphics were created and are maintained using Adobe Fireworks CS5. The logo was designed in Illustrator CS5. The site’s visual design was integrated into WordPress using the amazing Headway Premium theme framework. Custom CSS and PHP code was edited with the help of Dreamweaver CS5.
Regarding typography, fonts used in the logo include NeoSans and Myriad Pro. Body copy (HTML text) was set using Arial (boring I know… but it’s readable and clean… and everyone has it). The color scheme was developed with the help of the incredible desktop version of Genopal Pro.
I took all the pictures that will appear in the revived gallery page using my Canon S1IS camera. Eventually, I’ll come around to recreating the gallery so hang in there! I have a lot of photos from our recent trip to Las Vegas including our half day helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon.
Any questions you may have, don’t hesitate to ask.
A little history of pixelyzed.com
This site has gone through many transformations since it originally went live. The original (version 1.0) was up for a long time and many people complimented me on it. I look back at it rather fondly now but I decided to retire it when I converted the site to WordPress. It was time to move on and I was sick of it at the time. It certainly does not reflect where I’m at now as a designer.
Version 2.0 (post WordPress) was transitional and there actually were 2 disctinct versions in addition to 2 free themes I used immediately after converting the site to WordPress while I was learning the ropes. It was also before I discovered Headway (and Thesis). Version 2.0 was up too long and I was never satisfied with either iterations… but client work took precedence and it stayed up. Until now…
I’ve finally settled on a design I like as of June 2011 (I call it pixelyzed 3.0). It was mostly an exercise in simplification and will continue to evolve… but I’m no longer “embarrassed” by it as I was with version 2.0 
The site is also back on Headway after version 2.0b had been powered by Thesis (a fine theme but I MUCH prefer Headway now).
So I hope you like pixelyzed 3.0. Now that it’s done, I’ll concentrate on creating content again and bringing this site to the next phase…
