New Design is Up and Change of Feed Address

Hey everyone!

I am pleased to be able to announce that the new design of my website and blog is now live (th0ugh still without an about page). The new layout focuses a lot more on highlighting my work and uses a clean, typographic style for all of the blog posts, which I promise will increase in frequency and awesomeness. You will also notice I added support for gravatars in the comments template and condensed everything down, so the text takes up less space and the images are larger! Hooray! (sorry you small screen folk)

For all of those that DO follow my blog, the address of the feed will be changing, so PLEASE add the new address to your RSS reader to continue getting my content! The new address is below:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/andymangold

I will be posting more of my work from the semester soon… if you don’t subscribe to the new feed you won’t get it!

Monopoly Repackaging

Monopoly, in spite being the classiest of all board games, unfortunately is packaged just as boringly and uncreatively as every other garbage board game on the shelves. So, I decided to repackage it… turning the class up to 11.
All of the boxes are made out of chocolate brown mat board and skinned in cream arches cover. The final package is just over 10″ x 10″ x 1.5″ and includes smaller containers for all of the various pieces and cards and a laser-cut holder for all of the houses and hotels.

Under Construction!

Hello Internet.

I am here to apologize for the last near month of complete inactivity on my blog here, and also to give a perfectly legitimate reason why: I have been in the process of redesigning my site/portfolio/blog and I will be posting the new design within the next few days, along with a lot of work from the last few months. Until then, expect this site to be in terrible dis-repair. (yes I should do the classy thing and finish tweaking my new theme on a different wordpress install, but this one’s already got all of my plugins and database information, plus I don’t exactly get a tremendous amount of traffic so I don’t care enough)

I will have a nice “New Design Launch” for you soon, until then please pardon my dust.
