Hello Everyone...

I'm Rod welcome to the Version 2.0 of XSite Thing Concepts, also known as my portfolio. Thank you for taking the time to visit my site where I keep a collection of my design templates for reference to whatever purpose it may serve. I'm a graphic designer and a photography enthusiast by choice. I'm an occasional blogger and I consider myself a free spirit and on a constant search for new challenges especially when it comes to graphic design and web technology.

Feel free to contact me if you find my skills up to your standards. I'll take this opportunity to thank some of the sites that helped me put together this humble series of web pages. Some cool tutorials can be found here to help designers create eye catching web sites and graphic art. Thank you all very much, rakenrol! - more...

The San Lorenzo Multi Purpose Credit Coop template. A simple and conservative design I made for a community financial institute. They requested a layout that would display their warm reception and professional attitude for all of their members and investors. One of my earliest corporate styles.

Before starting on a new project I always consider shopping around for some innovative styles, but more importantly a clients need and specification is top priority. The introduction of Web 2.0 created a new set of standards for the graphic designers creativity, so I try to apply these new changes to my work, here are a few of my sample templates loosely based on this new concept.



I made this template for a band site using some of the grunge theme influences. Enlarge View
