Singapore Web DesignerNews » AEN—Designer & Consultant

The double spread ad I designed for SingaporeBrides Wedding Fashion is in December’s issue of Her World Brides which hit the news stands on Thursday. It has been a long while since I designed for print. I put in a bit of extra effort in this. I even kerned the credits copy on the upper left corner of the page.

Here are some photos I took earlier. What do you think?

AEN DIRECT has been successfully upgraded to the latest WordPress 2.3 Dexter. The whole process was quite smooth except for some plugin compatibility issues.

Plugins such as Ultimate Tag Warrior and Google Sitemap Generator was incompatible with WP2.3 and I had them disabled initially. Google Sitemap Generator was eventually upgraded from 3.0b6 to 3.0 stable and UTW was removed and tags were imported into Wordpress’s native tagging system (You can access the handy importer by goign to Manage > Import and choosing UTW from there).

I have not been visiting Ping.sg forums for a while and yesterday I did. U-Zyn has organized an interesting T-Shirt Design contest for the official Ping.sg T-Shirt. The closing was yesterday so I had very little time so I contact U-Zyn and requested some extra time to get the design done. U-Zyn was kind enough and said he would like to see what I can come up with.

These are the rules and introductions which I extracted from the original forum topic.

I have just switch to a new web hosting provider called Dreamhost and the transfer will take place throughout today and tomorrow. While I’m moving the site, AEN DIRECT will be down until the DNS propagates. In the meantime please direct all emails to aeon.tan@gmail.com.

The switch is complete and I have successfully transferred AEN DIRECT over to Dreamhost. The DNS propagated to my ISP in Singapore rather quickly, within half a day to be precise. I am happy to have made the move from Focushub who have once again proved to me that I should move. Not only the web hosting service didn’t meet my needs, the service was also unsatisfactory and I don’t like to be treated like an idiot.

Finally I have made up my mind and got my butt up to finish my new business card design after seeing Veron’s new namecard. I better get it printed in time for the coming Ping.sg 1st Anniversary Party. I ought to have a presentable card to give out during the event.
