Morning Glory House
This is a piece I’ve done about a year ago, but never wound up adding to my portfolio. The design was made for Morning Glory House which is an elderly retirement home near Kalamazoo, Michigan. They were looking for a solution to create and manage pages so they could easily update the website for their [...]
Automob WordPress Design
This is a wordpress theme design I recently made in Photoshop. I was having an inspired day and simply had to do some design work. I really wanted to work with a grain pattern on a darker themed website, and try to lean away from some of the full width containers that I have on [...]
Version Business Theme
A clean and easily customizable business theme design for Wordpress. Under development to be released as my first for sale premium theme.
New Website Launched
It’s been a while since I posted on this site since the move over to Design Relay but as things turned out I got a little sick for a while and got really behind posting content over there. Since I got better, I took a look at my site here and realized things were way [...]
The Creation of Design Relay
I’ve recently decided that I wanted to seperate my personal blog from a more informational and design related one. I’ve wanted to get into working with screencasts and tutorials to provide information for my clients and anyone out there who may find as much use from it as I do from many of the other [...]
Go Green Web Design
Just the other day I joined up in an art competition at the Center for New Media in Kalamazoo. The idea was that designers would collaborate with other designers to come up with a three piece campaign that helped promote renewable energy instead of offshore drilling. Obviously inspired by the recent disaster with the BP [...]
iOS and the new iPhone 4
I just got done watching the WWDC keynote where Steve Jobs officially announced iOS 4 and the new iPhone. I’ve got to say I’m pretty impressed. I know most of us have seen some of the leaked information on Gizmodo a while ago, but I don’t believe it really compares to what we saw at the world wide developer conference. Jobs really only had time to go over a small portion of the new features but he hit a lot of really nice ones.
Vexel Art Designs and Tutorials
Just the other night I was going browsing on the net looking for some inspiration and I came across a design style called Vexel Artwork. I had heard of this before but I kind of passed it over last time due to a lack of time. I took a closer look at what it really [...]
Starkers and Starkers HTML5 WP Themes
So I recently took a look at some of the great work at the website of designer/developer Chris Coyier CSS Tricks and I noticed he was working with a theme called Starkers. After doing a little bit of Google work and visiting the website I found that it was another naked wordpress theme.
WordPress Thematic Framework and jQuery Fixes
So recently I’ve been developing with the Thematic Framework for wordpress. I wanted to get to know some of the more popular frameworks out there and see if it could speed up my development time. Well, I’m not completely certain it decreased my development time yet, but I know for sure that I learned a [...]
NW Soccer League
This was originally a design that I made when I was volunteering as a Web Designer for the Arcadia Commons West project in Kalamazoo, Mi. We didn’t wind up using this design but I’ve had it shelved away in some old folders and decided to take another look at it and convert it to something [...]
Web Psychology
This is a design I recently made in Photoshop, yet again meant for wordpress, but it can be easily moved to another Content Management System if necessary. The design was intended to have a clean and professional corporate look. I don’t see a lot of themes that have their navigation as part of a floating [...]
Mediasoft
This was a design I made while I was in College. I was aiming for the look and feel of a corporate website that was created with the sole purpose of selling a single product and offering support. In this case the product was an Idea I had for a social networking management application. I [...]
KValley Devigners
Back when I was in College at the Center for New Media, there were a few semesters where a lot of work was passing through the school and having to be routed elsewhere. It was the idea of a few of the teachers at the school to have some of the web students get together [...]
Schema Therapy Midwest
STIM, or “Schema Therapy Institute Midwest” is a local Institute for using Schema Therapy to help individuals.
VnV Nation Fansite
This is a design I made that was to reflect what I thought a fansite of VnV Nation would look like. The inspiration for this exercise was their song “The Farthest Star”, however it wound up turning into a very dark looking design. I added a neat little section on the right for purchasing tracks [...]
Rivizion Framework
Rivizion is a design I made for a fictional framework that’s intended use was for enhancing other Flash frameworks. I wound up creating an entire writeup on this software for a writing class I was taking as well. All colors, imagery and typography were used to resemble the design of Adobes Flash product to help [...]
Terra Construction
This is a design for a fictional construction company I dubbed Terra meaning “of or relating to earth and its inhabitants”. Designed to reflect the ideas of Arcosanti, I wanted to create an earth friendly and anti urban sprawl idea. The result of that exercise was the logo for Terra and an entire package identity. [...]
Leannah Fabrics
A design I made specifically for a pitch practice to Ann Taylor for one of my classes. As part of the pitch I outlined my abilities as well as my creative process. In that outline, I used this design, which was custom designed thematically for the presentation as the proxy. Leannah Fabrics was designed for [...]
