Justin Kerr
Creative Director
I spent 10 years working in print design before being lured to
Newfangled in 2000. I didn't have any prior experience with the web
(other than sending e-mail) but I eventually learned to be as
proficient with pixels as I am with ink and paper. As the sole designer at Newfangled, I have the distinct pleasure of
working with all of our development teams. I enjoy the process of
seeing a site progress from the discovery phase up through quality
testing. It's a great feeling of satisfaction to see a new site go live.
My
wife and I have a cozy little home in Providence, RI that is stuffed to
overflowing with our six children. We enjoy traveling together and
seeing the country in our 12-passenger van. In those rare moments of
free time, I work in my wood shop or grab a ride on my motorcycle.
Somewhere in my basement is a dusty diploma from the Rhode Island
School of Design.

Letterpress is the antiquated technology of applying ink to metal slugs stamped with letterforms and then pressing a sheet of paper against those letterforms to create a printed page.

I use stock photography for a good portion of our client sites, selecting them from a handful of stock agencies in order to keep my searching simple and the design budget from ballooning.
I love that there are millions of professional-quality, high-resolution stock images available for download; priced so I can purchase multiple images for a single client. But it wasn't always this way.
January 29, 2010 at Last month I stated my new year's wish was a better selection of fonts for web design — and it looks like that may be closer to coming true.
