Another fun project to work on, this website is based in Wordpress and features custom post sorting, enhanced ad management, automatic events sorting and posting, and much more. The front page features a rotating feature box that is updated solely through pulling data from blog posts. I was able to hand this off to the client with all aspects of the content completely customizable on their end.

Javascript-based feature rotator
Search engine compliant
Automatic email backups of content, sent to the client each week

Upcoming Events Poster

admin — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:27:06 +0000

This poster was envisioned as a throwback to the striking, bold designs of yesteryear. Created to be an 11×17 print for display in community centers and on bedroom walls, the design needed to be striking as well as clearly understood, while attracting the eye of the target audience - teenagers and young adults. The poster helps to promote upcoming events for this Chicago-based Salvation Army youth ministry, while retaining the key elements of their current theme - “heart, soul, mind, strength.”

This was framed with a 1/4 white border around the image and printed 4/0 on 11×17.

Scamdicappers

This website and logo was created for Scamdicappers, a sports score tracking website, currently finishing development. I was approached to create an easy to navigate design that showcased the main tables that held pre-existing PHP coding to generate the scores and statistics.

This was a great project, as the end product resulted in a very clean, simple website design that has an attractive color scheme and eye-catching logo.

The Barefoot Doula

admin — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 11:49:20 +0000

This is a website for a Chicago-area Professional Birth Doula, that also happens to be my wife!

This was a fun site to work on, as it utilized the Wordpress content management system for easy updates, but also included some features like flash text replacement (Sifr), jQuery sliders for displaying the books & movies on the resource page, a custom textured background and more.

Raw Materials, Inc. E-Mails

admin — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:24:58 +0000

I had the privilege of working with Anna at Raw Materials, Inc., a purveyor of quality face and body products for men. In this particular instance, they were in need of assistance on the creation of two different e-mail campaigns. I was able to put together something that utilized their own images, but also gave a fresh invitation for people to check out their products.

Six Flags & Chapter 11

This is what happens when you have non-horror movie fans as marketing heads…

You book Freddy Kreuger to dance around on your commercials, not having ever seen the whole reach-through-the-mattress-and-kill-you scene in Nightmare on Elm Street.

Alas..

ManlyWear, Inc.

admin — Tue, 19 May 2009 18:20:36 +0000

Using the fascinating back story behind this clothing company, I was able to use new & existing images and content in order to craft something fresh and manly for their new launch. This version replaced a 2002 design that was out of date and not HTML/CSS validated. Completion was done in just under a week in order to meet deadline - a birthday present from the client to her husband. Another fun website to work on!
