2008 InUmpqua Visitors Guide Wonderfall Spread
Ooooh….smokey waterfalls!. No one has ever done that before…Ha!
This is a spread from the 2008 InUmpqua magazine travel guide that we put out every year. I went up the highway a bit and captured these waterfall photos for the 2007 issue that we used again for this year. Here are the raw photos…
4th of July Poster
This was a rush job I had this year. Normally I do not get to do any print work at the design house where I work. I am merely a pixel pusher (HEAD pixel pusher actually) in our web department so this was a nice change.
Partnership for the Umpqua Rivers
This is a redesign for the Partnership for the Umpqua Rivers. This site went live in May of 2008. This is in the Joomla! content management system.

Music on the Halfshell
This is a redesign for the Music on the Halfshell concert series held annually in Roseburg, Oregon. I was responsible for the overall design, fonts and layout and all the graphics on the site As well as most of the band content and research. (I was also took the photographs in the portfolio section for the years 2006 and 2007.) The site was built using the Joomla! content management system.

RACKA RACKA RACKA CD
This was the artwork that I created for a mix CD that I sent out to friends. It was SO FUN to create and I think it came out very successful. The music rocks too.
Area Health Education Center
This was a redesign for the Area Health Education Center that we did at Creative Images. I was responsible for the overall design, fonts and layout and information architecture. I also created the graphic maps used throughout the site. The back end has an older content management system that we had to design around. We also added the Helios calendar for their event calendar. Unfortunately, we were forced to make some graphic changes on the site as well as architectural changes (against our recommendations) that I think really hurt the layout and the overall content so the live site is not what it once was. In fact, I am not going to link to it. You have to go find it for yourself. You have been warned.

J. Simms Photography
J. Simms is a local photographer who needed a simple gallery. We gave him one. We kept the design simple and clean to let his photography be the showcase.

2007 InUmpqua “Time For Wine” Spread
At Creative Images, we put out a yearly travel magazine for our area to entice tourists to drop their hard earned cash around town. This is a spread celebrating the wine growing region. The photograph was taken early in the morning at Abacela winery on a gorgeous morning. (Original photo)

My Wedding Site
Being the big geek that I am, I wanted to build a custom site for my wedding. The main reason is that 90% of our guests were coming from out of town and I wanted an easy place for guests to go to get info. Some guests were even coming from as far away as Ethiopia and Germany. And, considering that I am such a nerd, I also wanted to also create an on-line RSVP for the wedding using PHP and MySql. It worked great! I also skinned a WordPress blog for the site and made a few posts, but not as many as I had hoped. (Man, a wedding takes up a helluvalotta time! Who knew?)
I think my wife wanted to kill me for the time I put in on this but she hasn’t left me yet!
Creative Images
This was an “emergency” redesign for Creative Images (where I am the head of the web department). The designers had come up with a new marketing campaign using spirals to define each department. This had nothing to do with the previous site. I had to create this site in about a week (from design to final coding) to be ready for a few special job pitches that we had coming up. It came out well except for the lack of strong content. (We need more!)

The Wimberleoni Wedding Site
A friend was getting married in Australia – and the United States! Thankfully, to the same guy. They wanted a site that guests could go to to get information on both of the events. She was a great client as she gave me ALL of her content at one time. It made it much easier to design.God, I wish they all could do that…
Umpqua Dairy
This was a web comp for a redesign of the Umpqua Dairy web site. This proof was completed over a year ago for them but, for whatever reason, they decided to take the site out to bid and you should see the site they ended up with. Click here for the current site and judge for yourself. Yikes. What a disappointment. Any dairys out there need a nice new design? No waiting!
