BoxedUpFun

I built this site with the help of a few friends as a fun project on my own time. We’re seeking to provide new suggestions for those that enjoy a good board game. Users can find games, view videos, and log in to create their own board game collection and wish list.

My New Project

Jesse — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 12:44:52 +0000

I’m always thinking about new ideas and coming up with projects for myself. I decided that I needed a project that involved more people than just myself – others who could keep me motivated to work on a project down the road.

A couple weeks ago we launched BoxedUpFun, a website where users can discover new board games and learn about them. I’ve always enjoyed playing a fun board game with friends, but was never impressed with the other resources already out there.

The website features short informative videos about games, user reviews, and profiles. More features will be added soon! If you have any feedback on the site, we’d love to hear it. Thanks!

The Harbor is a Russian organization seeking to help teenagers who are about to be released from the orphanage system. They help to give them life skills for the real world.

New Photography in the Gallery

Jesse — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 20:51:31 +0000

I posted two new albums in my photography gallery today. One of them was from Andrea and my summer trip to Riviera Maya Mexico, and the second is a random sampling of images throughout this year that I hadn’t put up until now.

I’ve been slowly trying to work on being a better photographer. This summer I read a book called “Better Photos Now!” that was a short and sweet primer on how to be a better photographer in different situations. I’m now trying to always stay in “Aperture Priority” mode when shooting so that I can always try to choose the depth of field in my shots.

I’ve also collected a few smaller but essential pieces of equipment like a remote shutter release, a UV filter, and circular polarizing filter. Next on the list includes a flash, a better lens, and maybe someday the Chasing the Light filter kit. If they ever decide to make it again.

New Work on the Site

Jesse — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 04:46:26 +0000

I’m not sure what possessed me tonight, but I decided I wanted to get some of my work from the last year up on my website finally. I think that I’ve been thinking that not updating the site until I have a new one might motivate me, but alas. I have been busy and intimidated to start working on a new site for myself.

In the meantime, check out the new work featured on the left of the site, and in the Web and Identity sections of the design portfolio.

The Leadership Institute

The Leadership Institute organizes seminars and retreats for Christian leaders, their events needed to be the focus of their website and they needed to be easier to update for their staff. I designed the event-centric website and helped the staff to figure out hurdles like online payment.

TSW Progressive Stationery

TSW Builders came to us wanting to develop an identity and a website for the two different branches of their business – residential and commercial. Two stationery systems were created (1 shown here) that included letterhead, envelopes, business cards, and a folder.

TSW Progressive Identity

Jesse — Mon, 31 May 2010 04:30:07 +0000

TSW Builders came to us wanting to develop an identity and a website for the two different branches of their business – residential and commercial. The logos needed to work together as a system, while still communicating to different people. Different types of buildings were constructed using angular shapes and changing the perspectives.

TSW Builders came to us wanting to develop an identity and a website for the two different branches of their business – residential and commercial. Progressive became their softer residential side that communicated using warm colors and inviting photos.
