About me
Basically, I make stuff. Books, magazines, charts, stories, plays, illustrations, you name it. I. Can’t. Stop. And I don’t want to, either. :)
I love people and books, in that order. Design (graphic, web, and book) and writing occupy most of my free time, though I also love making art and music. I’m very Mormon and went to BYU. I love productivity and index cards and Field Notes and Moleskines. And last (because it’s most recent of all this), I’m happily married. :)
If you like this blog, I post fairly frequently on Twitter as well.
The genesis of bencrowder.net
Once upon a time I had a bazillion websites. I thought I could maintain them all with ease. I was wrong. So, after several years of this, I decided to simplify my life both online and off. All of my old blogs (BenjaminCrowder.com, Blank Slate, Bookland, Digital Bridge, Footprints from the Past, Halfpence, Outside the Box, and Top of the Mountains) are now tucked neatly into this site. I’m replacing buckshot with focus. It feels good. :)
The site runs on the latest version of WordPress and was designed in Photoshop, with the HTML/CSS coding done in MacVim. The banner text is in Aller. And last but certainly not least, the body text on the site is a combination of Georgia and either Lucida Grande or Helvetica, depending on if you’re using a Mac or a PC.
