<p>Every once in a very long while, we meet or hear about a person who was able to pick themselves up from the deepest bottoms that life can offer. It is even rarer when one of those people drives his or herself to achieve their dreams. <span> </span>We can defiantly say that Brian Wolf is one of those people. If you’re looking for a real personal trainer, somebody with the determination, experience and down to earth honesty to tell you straight up what you need to do to see results, do not look any further. Brian Wolf’s <a href="http://builtbehindbars.com">BuiltBehindBars.com</a> tells us of his unique life changing experiences which drove him to the success he is today.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Brian can update his website through a private backend page which allows for mass news-letter blasting, testimonial entries, modifications, and a sophisticated gallery management interface which allows for creating albums, multiple picture uploading, caption editing, and deletion. To see more features, check out the Built Behind Bars website shown on our <a href="http://www.labgfx.com/labgfx/projects">showcase page</a>.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Brian will be adding new content and modifying his website throughout the month so keep checking back for updates, or just sign up to the Built Behind Bars newsletter!<span>  </span>We wish Brian the best of luck and maybe one day one of us will have enough guts to take him up on one of his hardcore workout programs!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seth Russell is a seasoned 3D Character Artist currently living in Orlando, Florida. He came to <a href="http://labgfx.com">Labgfx</a> with a mission. Create for him a website that will effectively showcase his art. This website doesn’t focus on the typical things we would create for a normal website. We’ve left out the traditional navigational menu, contact forms, tacky ‘about me’ pages and any design elements around the site itself that could distract you from his artwork.</p>
<p>Essentially, we created a slim, single page website that can showcase his latest artwork in an elongated canvas type atmosphere. Seth can upload new art through a simple administrative interface. This allows him to add the main image and 3 complimentary left, middle and right images. Along with having the ability to add a descriptive text for title and software used. He can also show or hide each individual art piece once the images have been uploaded.</p>
<p>We appreciate the opportunity to create <a href="http://3dapathy.com">3DApathy.com</a> and wish Seth the best in all future endeavors! Don&#8217;t forget to check out <a href="http://www.labgfx.com/labgfx/projects">our work</a> page to view more detailed information about 3DApathy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">You might have been wondering what we’ve been up to from March until now, and well, you can see we’ve been pretty busy with 2 website releases within 2 days. <a href="http://www.labgfx.com/">Labgfx.com</a> has just completed Surrealistic Producing Effects, LLC’s brand new website, <a href="http://www.speffects.com/">SPEffects.com</a>. This site design incorporates all of the eye candy goodies people love to see, in a very minimalistic approach of course.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Todd Palamar, of SPEffects.com provided Labgfx with great pre-rendered animations for his brand new flash banners on the home page. They advertise his 2 new technical books, <a href="http://speffects.com/index.php?id=book_maya_cloth">Maya Cloth for Characters</a> and <a href="http://speffects.com/index.php?id=book_feature_creature_creations_II">Maya Feature Creatures: Second Edition</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The new site uses simple PayPal forms to get shopping done quickly. No overly complicated e-cart system was needed here. We also converted a forum on the old site into a blog for Todd on the redesigned site. There he can post news, tutorials or production updates for his all  <a href="http://speffects.com/index.php?id=human_food">CG movie, Human Food</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’ll still be working with Todd for roughly another month to polish and fine-tune small details on the site. Since we are both technical and creative people, nothing ever seems good enough for us.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Check out more details on our <a href="http://labgfx.dev/labgfx/projects">Showcase page</a>, which also includes a <a href="http://labgfx.dev/images/projects/speCompare.jpg">before and after screen shot</a>. Thanks for choosing Labgfx Todd!</p>

Combined with music this always ends up being a very emotional and unique gift.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Being able to order a slide show montage online seems rather complicated, but not with <em>Elegant Slideshows</em> slick new website developed by <a href="http://www.labgfx.com/">Labgfx.com</a>. <span> </span>All a user needs to do is quickly register on the website, start uploading photos and press a button to request a quote for that event. Next either Jason or Michael contacts you directly to iron out any details, and presto! Your slide show montage gets shipped out right away. <span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whether you are looking for a creative gift or trying to make a special moment more memorable, be confident that these guys at <em>Elegant Slideshows</em> will do their best. In fact, they personally guarantee it on their homepage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNoSpacing">We’re very excited to say <a href="http://labgfx.com">Labgfx</a> is now proud corporate charity sponsor, helping raise money for <a href="http://www.theprovidenceacademy.com/">The Providence Academy</a>. Providence means &#8220;To Provide&#8221;. This Not for Profit school with two campuses in Orlando, they provide a very unusual program to students who do not fit within the box of public or private school. Their students come to them with a variety of diagnoses including High Functioning Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorders, Asperger&#8217;s Syndrome, ADHD and Learning Disabilities.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">We are able to sponsor The Providence Academy through Jonathan Czarny and <a href="http://www.onelapofamerica.com/">The One Lap of America</a> (OLOA) motorsport event. Czarny and his co-driver <a href="http://www.jonmillerracing.com/">Jonathan Miller</a> will be driving cross-country to race track to race track all to raise money for The Providence Academy. The competition is based around getting the fastest time rather than wheel-to-wheel racing.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Best of luck guys, we&#8217;re looking forward to seeing photos of the event and will be checking your <a href="http://technikm5.blogspot.com/">travel blog</a> daily! Also, be sure to check out our new page called &#8216;<a href="http://labgfx.com/labgfx/charities">Charities</a>&#8216;, dedicated to this great event.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Write a web app, of course. In less than 30 non-consecutive hours Theo and I were able to conceptualize, design, develop and test <a href="http://www.justdonateyourmoney.com">JustDonateYourMoney.com </a>or JDYM for short, one of our many brain children here at <a href="http://labgfx.com">Labgfx</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What the heck is JDYM?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>JustDonateYourMoney.com is a simple concept, in that it will help you generate new traffic to your website while improving page rank in a new, fun, and exciting way. You&#8217;re in control of where the Donation, or &#8220;tag&#8221; is placed on the home page by tweaking your donation amount. JDYM will also never randomize the location of the donations you paid for! This is so you won&#8217;t ever worry that the donation you paid for is at the bottom of the page.</p></blockquote>
<p>To put a little spin on things, we decided to do something fun. In 2009 we will announce to the JDYM community what we did or will do with the donated money, hence the website name! Be sure to stick around.</p>
<p>The idea was based around what already exists out there in the web, following the rule &#8220;don’t re-invent the wheel, just realign it&#8221;, told by <a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/a/anthony_j_dangelo.html">Anthony J. D’Angelo</a>. Our core vision is as follows; take some concepts that had worked previously, develop new features, improve some of the ones we thought were problematic, put spin on the entire idea and create something entirely unique. This should be easy, right?</p>
<p>To say the least, we’re extremely excited about JDYM&#8217;s release and look forward to watching how it will compete with other websites that are similar. Special thanks to Carl, Jared and Tommy for helping us with the closed-beta testing over the weekend.</p>
<p>Feel free to <a href="http://www.justdonateyourmoney.com">go check it</a> out. We utilize <a href="http://paypal.com">PayPal&#8217;s</a> services to handle the purchasing aspect. If you don&#8217;t have a PayPal account don&#8217;t worry! You can go ahead and use your credit card through PayPal even if you don&#8217;t have an account. Oh and always remember, <strong>Just Donate!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Take one thing at a time&#8221; is a hard mentality to follow when you wear many hats and are responsible for so much. Although as time progresses Labgfx is moving forward in a positive way.</p>
<p>So far we&#8217;ve accomplished a lot I think in such a short time. Let&#8217;s re-cap the last 2 months or so.</p>
<blockquote><p>Create our business model and website design<br />
Business card creation &amp; distribution<br />
Spreading the word to friends &amp; family<br />
Launching our site. (v1)<br />
Completed our first paid project as Labgfx<br />
Conducted a ton of SEO methods<br />
Utilizing social marketing &amp; blogging<br />
Started a new project<br />
Launched our second site (v2)</p></blockquote>
<p>That pretty much leaves us up to present day, now I&#8217;m sure I left our minor daily things we do but the above are the most significant and beneficial to us.</p>
<p>Thanks for everyone&#8217;s support, we really appreciate it and are looking forward to the upcoming months, we will soon be registering for an LLC.</p>
