[Posters] Stop Monkeying Around

Along with creating a website, I've been trying to design a few posters that can be used as either fliers or for posting on Twitter / Facebook / Google+.

Let be honest -- I'm not a graphic designer, but I find it fun to play around in Adobe Illustrator.  I've put my first 7 designs in order below.  Right now, I think the 3 little monkeys (#3) is my favorite.

I think I'll keep going, but might need to eventually go to a real graphic designer.  

Until then, fun in Adobe Illustrator it is!

[Tip] Create an Easy Website with Weebly

As previously mentioned, I've developed an app (with an awesome developer, Ahmad, from O-desk), which will be available for beta testing next week on the Android Play store (fingers crossed everything goes well).

Over the weekend, I created a landing page for the app at http://www.time-away.com/ using Weebly in a few hours (screenshots below).  I have very minimal coding experience (mostly SQL, which is unrelated, and some HTML via Code Academy & blogging).

Results: It was easy breazy to create a decent looking website via Weebly.  Plus, it's free until you port over to your own domain (at that point, it's $49 / year).  

Highly recommend, especially once they fix a few bugs!
