Welcome to PatrickTopia V.3. I hope you like what you see! If not, don't worry... it seems like I'm redesigning this site at least three times a year (though I've only actually finished one redesign per year thus far).

My name is Patrick Slawinski. I'm a web designer, graphic designer, creative-type person currently living in Arlington, Virginia. I spent a year and a half working for the United States Army's official website, Army.mil, starting in June 2006 as a Multimedia Specialist (later retitled to Web Designer). This was very soon after my May graduation from James Madison University's School of Media Arts and Design. Now I'm working for the same company on another contract, still doing web design. Too bad I can't write about it!

So far my experience here has been phenomenal. I've designed and built many XHTML/CSS pages, created banners, diagrams, and posters in Photoshop and Illustrator, and gotten in some Flash development as well. You can check out the "Work" section to see some of what I've done, both at Army.mil and elsewhere.

My skills:

• XHTML, CSS, some ActionScript and JavaScript
• Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash)
• Web design, graphic design, branding & identity
• Critical thinking, awesome-osity, rad-itude, etc...
