A Little More About Me

a picture of me

My name is Adam (Justin) Spooner. I am a web designer living and working in New York City. I currently spend the majority of my day in midtown working on a little online dating site called OkCupid.

My wife and I moved from here from High Point, North Carolina. I attended UNCG for a total of three years in pursuit of a computer science degree. After much contemplation, I decided to withdraw and pursue my career in web design as I was not learning what I wanted to learn in school. Many would argue this choice was unwise, since I was a junior and had high GPA. Trust me, it was no easy decision. I've posted an entry about said topic.

I consider myself a learner. I love to absorb information and challenge myself in everyway possible. I love studying graphic design and reading about type in my free time. I'm enamored with Swiss and Russian Modernism.

I also enjoy Python with a healthy dose of Django, classical Greek, and playing my Wii and DS when time allows.

As promised, my drink of choice is Diet Mt. Dew.

About The Site

This site was built on a Mac, using TextMate. It’s valid XHTML and CSS. Pixels were pushed with Photoshop and Illustrator. My CMS is powered by Django. The typefaces most of you will see are Helvetica Neue for the body and Georgia for the titles and navigation. Others of you may see Verdana as the body. My host is TextDrive because you get what you pay for.

Paying My Respects

The design of this site was strongly influenced by Deja View Media designed by John Peele and Jeff Croft’s personal site from 2007. The navigation was inspired by Nathan Borror.
