Update on dustinputnam.com — My portfolio has been in the works for about 6 years. I design it, put it on the shelf while I focus on bigger initiatives, then come back and hate it. Start it over. Get sidetracked. Wash, rinse, repeat. Attached is my most recent design that I am committing to not changing until it makes it's way onto the internet. My site will have case studies of some of my biggest projects, an about page ...

Homepage - DustinPutnam.com — Some early explorations of the Homepage for my personal portfolio. I wanted to go with something minimal that was simple and clean.

Personal Logo - DustinPutnam.com — Hello everyone! I created a very simplistic, minimal logo to be used on my personal portfolio site.

Chance the Rapper – Landing Page — Wanted to explore a redesign for Chance the Rapper's web site (chanceraps.com).

Over the next few weeks, I am going to continue to publish redesigns of my favorite bands, products, and s...
