I haven’t posted this news officially (because I’m lazy) but it’s better late than never. I’ve joined the Struck crew as an Interactive Designer in the new Portland office. The move from freelance to full-time has greatly improved my sanity (working and living in the same room is just crazy talk). I’ll post pics of the office soon.

There’s a lot of new stuff going down at Struck. [ They update frequently at struckcreative.com ] Today I wanted to drop in a word about the updates for Deconstruckt, Struck’s blog and show my contribution to the background collaboration (dark green swampy looking one). Here’s the official word on the updates:

The new and improved Deconstruckt sports a variety of enhancements. The most apparent of these are the slew of custom backgrounds that load randomly upon refresh. These backgrounds are designed by multiple Struckers, on and off of the design teams. Other improvements include a state-of-the-art AJAX commenting system, author avatars, a Flickr stream, an RSS feed, and amazing downloadable Struck wallpapers.

The most important enhancement to the site is the inclusion of multiple channels. The new Deconstruckt is essentially three blogs in one. ‘Create’ is the channel where you will find the latest and greatest concepts, design, art, and techniques that flow from the minds of the Struckers. ‘Build’ is essentially a labs channel. Struck’s interactives will be throwing down the hottest tips, trends and tech for the coder in you all. And ‘Play’ is a channel dedicated to the mischief and mayhem that continually plagues the studio.
