Home On The Web

rmaspero.com is my home on the web. This is my personal blog where I write about my interest, if you have not guessed they are technology, photograph, Apple and graphic design. This blog is hosted on Siteground (a great host) and powered by WordPress.

Appetite for Apples

I actually have a T-Shirt that says that on it. My main area of interest lies in the technology realm, particularly in Apple. I’m a little obsessed with Apple’s products, the small perfect touches, the cutting edge design and they usability.

Over the past years I’ve accumulated a stack of Apple products.

They are a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz 4GB RAM and a 169GB drive

My passion for Photograph started when I was at my junior school. We had a photography club, back then we used film and developed them in a dark room which was great fun and I miss it. Now I use Apples Aperture3 to edit and manage my photos on my Mac, it is my preference over Lightroom but both are great choices.

Graphic Design and Web Design

Graphic Design is a growing passion of mine, I have always been interested at how thing look and feel of things, and at school I was given the chance to take that further by doing a GCSE in Graphic Products.

I am a very creative guy and love the make things, and I found a way of putting that together with my love of web design. I am not fantastic at it but I know HTML and CSS, Javascript and Some PHP. I can make WordPress themes from scratch. I made the theme my blog runs on. I have had many opportunities to develop these skills by working on projects such as a Flag for a link school in Uganda, Advertising for a fashion show and Geotechnical firms website.
