SOKOLINDESIGN

This website is an archive of design and illustration work Alexey Sokolin has done between 2001 and 2006. It is a portfolio of designing and experimenting within a set of constraints, which are no longer true in modern web and application development. For example -- highly constrained and standardized screen resolution, HTML layout using tables, optimization of JPEGs to 15 kbs, etc... I keep this site up because it says so much to me about the time it represents: a manually crafted portfolio site before we had Tumblr, the Saatchi gallery space, or WordPress. It was a work of love and craft to put this together more than a decade ago. And, excitingly, the tools have shifted and evolved.
