<h2>From the Vault</h2>
<div class="postdate">Feb 18 2008</div>



<div class="featureimg"><a href="http://wicklow.smugmug.com/gallery/4362800_fMcJe/1/256084133"><img src="http://www.wicklowdesigns.com/images/sculpt.jpg" alt="From the Vault" width="200" height="250" border="0" /></a></div>

<p>Lately I have been going through all my work, in an attempt to see where I have been and where I want to go. I have been working on a computer in some kind of capacity now for over ten years and well—there is a lot there! So many photos, after all that is where it all started, with a photograph. From there I just gravitated to working in PhotoShop creating, anything—collages, logos, web pages, posters, postcards, business cards; trying everything out graphically. </p>

<p>Through all my experience and exploration, I have found that web design is my passion. I have always wanted to move beyond just the design and to develop the backend that makes that design come alive. Hence, learning HTML, XHTML, and CSS has been so natural to me. I love what can be accomplished visually and functionally with a single file of code. I have known for some time now I really want to take it further and learn even more web technologies, JavaScript, PHP, CMS, everything. Web design and development provide me with constant challenges and very rewarding results.</p>

<p>One thing that is very obvious to me as I look through all my work is that I love to design in blue; I guess it is my signature color! As I continue to go through my breadth of work I will add pieces I like to the  <a href="http://wicklow.smugmug.com/gallery/4362800_fMcJe/1/256084133">Vault</a>.<br />
