Tiny Art Director

PCS — Thu, 21 May 2009 19:31:51 +0000

Dad has four-year-old daughter. Daughter asks dad to draw something. Dad draws. Then, daughter critiques drawing. Then dad posts the crtique and drawing on his blog. Brilliant!

The Brief: A mama snail and a baby snail
The Critique: I’m sorry to say that you’re worser than me. You gotta learn to draw as me. You just don’t draw so well. Why do you think that is? It turns out that I’m the good draw-er. It turns out that you’re the art director.
Artists Note: The critique is on the initial sketch, and compares to hers. She actually likes the painting.
Job Status: Provisionally Approved, pending addition of jumping fish in the lake

Dude’s got a book deal, too.

Area Health Education Center

PCS — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 03:41:19 +0000

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 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.

My Wedding Site

PCS — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 02:25:34 +0000

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

PCS — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 03:30:32 +0000

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!)
