My name is Clayton McIlrath and I am an entrepreneur currently living in CO. I personally enjoy the process of learning, exploring, and doing all things creative as well as sharing my experiences with others. Being an entrepreneur and business owner, I hope that my experiences may help someone else start their own venture and find success and freedom as I have! Feel free to contact me anytime for questions or opportunities.
With Valentines Day coming up, some are probably looking for cutesy wallpapers and frilly fonts, and others are panicking and trying to decide what they’re going to get their significant other for Valentines Day. Well fear and look no more, I’ve got a little collection for you to get started with.
There’s been a lot of speculation and arguing about the possibility of a “new” logo design for MSU Spartans (see the trademark registration and make your own guess as to why it exists).

Love it or hate it, I re-designed the Chosen Development website. I was growing tired of the Organic theme that I had developed for it originally. Though it was highly creative, it was too busy. I decided to go with a simple layout, color scheme and dark style. This a typical style for me, but I’m proud of that. Chosen development consists mostly of the work of myself and Shane who loves the new design also. I’ve also integrated our new Creative Brief Interview so that we can automate the initial research and gathering phase.
There are a ton of Wordpress Themes on the web, wanting to grab your attention and be on the cutting edge, unique, and trendy. I’ve developed a few of my own themes over time, some of which are unique and are highly creative, others which are basic and a good starting point to build on. After doing a bit of searching I’ve put together a roundup of the most creative wordpress themes that are also still very different, unique and hopefully not so popular that you’ll ever see anyone else with the same theme.
Learning keyboard shortcuts helps you improve efficiency and performance in any almost any program. I find this especially true for Photoshop since much of the design process is done with a mouse, it helps to train the other hand to use shortcuts and type in small amounts. In posting this, I hope to reference it myself to memorize and learn these shortcuts, and hopefully others will bookmark and reference this page as well.
