The fate of the profile has been a point of life or death for each iteration of this site. Thankfully, the fact that you see this up here means that this one survived.
Dave, thanks. :D Archer has still survived in that PSD until now, so I think I'll stay with it.
Dan, perforated dots FTW.
Rogie, the heart is in the logo, so I saw it fitting to use it in other places. :) And yes, I can't thank you enough for that Polaroid overlay, can't think of a better way to bring out those photos.
Bryan, are you going to use my CD overlays or do I need to make you something else for those too?
Regarding Archer, I'd say stick with it. Considering the design, I'd say most designers would go with Helvetica or Gotham, so Archer really makes it feel unique.
I have two New Years Resolutions:
1. Dribbble more often.
2. Finish Hello! Ranking.
You've seen my designs for this site evolve, but probably not like this. With the help of Tom Creighton, I was able to bring the site out of a style that ultimately didn't fit the demographic.
Hello! Ranking is about idols—artists that bring joy into the lives in their fans through their personalities and their music. A dark site didn't fit that, but I couldn't get out of that "rut." So a gigantic thank you to Tom for holding out his hand to support my struggling work.
I'm still having a bit of trouble getting everything below that breadcrumbs bar to "fit." Hit me up if you're interested in hearing me out. :) Either way (and whatever happens), you'll see this up by the end of the month.

Only you would know Greg, only you would know. ;)
PS: Archer is not my final font choice for the group's name, I just happened to pick it so I wouldn't pick Gotham.

As always, I love the little details. Also, I think Archer fits nicely here - unless you're already set on an alternative?

For Rogie
by Bryan Veloso
This is just here to show Rogie how much I love his overlays. ^_^;
Rogie, I think they work. I modified them to make them fit with my grid, but they work quite well. :D
