The official presentation of my first print project.

I’ll be using the pactumstudio.com site as the home for my print portfolio as I develop it.

…you can view a real live Firefox bug: http://timgallant.org/gdesign/gpconcrete/

If you check out that link with Internet Explorer (yes, even IE6), Safari, Opera, you will see four images on that page – a poster image just under the heading, two mid-size brochure images down the left, and a small business card image in the lower right.

But if you look in Firefox, chances are you won’t see the poster image at all; in fact, Firefox goes further: sometimes hiding the descriptive text I’ve used in place of captions to identify the various images, and on occasion, it won’t even reserve the proper space for the poster image, thus messing up the layout and bringing the business card image to the top of the page.

I’ve encountered the Firefox disappearing content bug before, but Internet Explorer is the one that usually has the reputation for it. Unfortunately, while it probably occurs more frequently in IE, it’s more difficult to resolve in Firefox without reconstructing the layout altogether.

Which I will do, of course – if you’ve paid attention to the actual content of the linked page, you’ll see it’s a presentation of my first graphic design print project, which I worked on for my employer (for my full time job). As I get more experience working with Illustrator and InDesign, I’ll be advertising that I’ve expanded from web work into print, as well. Should be fun.
