We’d like to congratulate PositionSizer.com on their recent site launch. Alupa Creative provided a full range of creative and technological services for PositionSizer, and we’re happy with the final product.

Check out the site here.

Alupa Creative has recently been featured on RefreshStyle.net, a web design gallery. We’re happy to have been included in this group of great sites. Check out and rank listings here.

Pentagram.com has released a handy instrument that can tell you which type of “Type” category that you fall into. Take the test here.

Through a series of questions, posed by a pseudo-psychiatric video moderator, you can determine if you are the happy go-lucky type, or the down to earth pragmatic type. Think of this as a simplified Myers-Briggs Type Indicator for all of those designers and typophiles out there.

The Alupa Creative portfolio is now being featured on DesignerSource.net, an online web design gallery. We’d like to thank them for the addition and the great feedback about the site.

Cheers,

The Alupa Creative portfolio has again been featured online. The most recent nod comes from 101bestwebsites.com, an online web design gallery focused on design excellence online.

We’re happy to be added to the ranks and look forward to additional feedback from the users over at 101bestwebsites.com.

The Alupa Creative portfolio has been featured over at designfridge.com, a web design blog featuring an ever-growing list design oriented websites.

We’ve got them bookmarked for design inspiration, as should you.

Our portfolio site has recently been featured on MakeBetterWebsites.com, an online repository for web design inspiration. After taking a look around the site we were struck by the company our listing is in. Quite the selection of top-notch web designs and approaches. If you’re in the neighborhood and need a shot of design inspiration you should stop by the site.

You can review our listing here.

If you’re a new user visiting from this link then feel free to take a look around and let us know if you have any questions. We’re here to help.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the people who made all this possible: our clients. It was our loyal, hand picked group of clients who provided Alupa Creative the support and understanding that we needed to grow not only as a company, but also as individual creative service providers.

It was our clients who let us share in their projects, goals and successes. It was our clients who allowed us to be a part of their company, which, in turn, contributed to our own success and well being. Without our clients and their projects this portfolio addition wouldn’t be possible. So, Alupa Creative thanks you from the bottom of our creative hearts.

For all that (and more) we’d like to return the favor. Starting Friday, November 13, 2009 our previous clients, both past and present, will receive a 5% discount on all creative services rendered.

This discount can be applied to online, print, packaging, apparel and graphic design of all types. While our current programming rates will still be in effect the design and creative application of your projects will reflect our thanks, praise and even a little extra elbow grease so that you know (that we know) how lucky we really are.

Thank you for your continued support. We couldn’t have done it without you.

For a designer, creating one’s own portfolio is a nearly sisyphean task. From the very beginning you know that it’s going to be a brutal, teeth pulling experience based primarily on the idea that you’re selling the project to the toughest client ever: yourself.

That same pixel pushing, hex code spewing, idiot font savant that was making the calls on all of those other projects, telling the client why it was the right thing to do, why the approach was best, why this graphic wouldn’t work, why this one would…yeah, that guy.

He’s now the one to which you have to present these digital assets you’ve created. The catch is, the presentation to sell him is ongoing, because he’s sitting on your shoulder the whole time.

If you are that guy (and I am) it’s maddening.

That having been said, things are moving along nicely. The flash site is nearly ready for release and when it is, we’re sure that you’re going to hear about it. In the mean time, here are a few slides from a slideshow on the site.
