BtDubZ Design- Day 4
by Bakari on Aug.30, 2009, under BtDubZ Design
I redid the background (doubt you’d notice without me telling you what I did). Made a few minor modifications. It’s pretty much done the way I want it. I want the red wisps in the background to run down the page as you scroll down but I don’t think I’m going to implement it anytime soon. It’d require either a really large background (which I don’t want to make because it’d take a long time to download for some) or some CSS work which I don’t feel like doing frankly because I’m not really sure how to do it.
After I post this entry, I’m going to rework the BtDubZ logo. A few minor things about it I’m going to change. Which shouldn’t be noticeable to most.
Rodney “Dark Child” Jerkins

I keep hearing Dark Child in songs that I listen to and one day I looked it up. I found out that Dark Child’s Rodney Jerkins’ stage name. I’m listening to “You Rock My World” by Michael Jackson as I write this and in this version of the song I thought I heard him say Dark Child in the beginning which is what sparked this post.
So it made me think about artist marks. What do you all think? Is it wrong for him to put it in songs? Is it annoying? As a an “artist” myself, I don’t think so. I think it’s tacky the way Jay-Z and Kayne do it sometimes, especially… nevermind, that’s a whole new story. But whenever I hear Dark Child I usually like the song and if he’d never had it put in songs, I’d have no idea who he was. Props to the man for producing some really good songs.
