T.I.P. SECRET Project Web-Site, Launched 10.15, Updated 01.17 - Webpage for t.i.p.Secret, a line of anecdotal and informational editions and designs based around life experience in various cities, starting with the San Francisco Bay Area. Site was designed with responsiveness as a starting point, taking into consideration current digital platforms, from smart phones to desktop browsers. Created with brand cohesiveness, from iconography to type, with an eye towards keeping navigation and information as straight forward as possible, while being conscious that responsive designs can sometimes feel staid or overly generic. Coded with both html and css stylesheets, as well as javascript functions. Framework developed in Dreamweaver CC.

SUBJECT-OBJECT Web-Site, Re-launched 10.15, Updated 01.17 - Webpage designed as a starting point for an evolving site that leads to project-specific sites, portfolio sites, and eventually E-commerce sites. Site was designed with responsiveness as a starting point, taking into consideration current digital platforms, from smart phones to desktop browsers. Created with brand cohesiveness in mind, but flexibility and humor as influences, trying to set a tone for the company's approach to design. Keeping navigation as straight forward as possible, but also playing with the limitations and quirks of responsive grids, trying to test a little the expectations of what a design company's web-site can do without being overly fussy or complicated. Parts of the imagery and text expand and contract in different ways depending on screen size. Coded with both html and css stylesheets, as well as javascript functions. Framework developed in Dreamweaver CC.

MARRIAGE AND THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH : More Light Presbyterians Microsite Portal, 02.14 - As part of Fenton Communications, designed and art-directed a campaign to promote discussion about marriage within the Presbyterian church. As part of a larger effort to raise awareness about LGBT acceptance within the church, materials were designed for members and congregational voters to discuss marriage in general, avoiding political or moralizing imagery and language, and keeping the dialogue and visuals in a neutral, rational format. As part of the campaign, web and print advertising, as well as a microsite were designed with a custom color palette and web-friendly typefaces. Copywriting and back-end programming by in-house team at Fenton Communications, a firm that works exclusively with non-profits, foundations, and social causes. The site utilizes "responsive design" which allows it to be viewed at different scales — from desktop to mobile. See also : CAMPAIGNS, PRINT

"I'M A VULTURE, NOT A HUNTER." : @iyourmuddah Inaugural Tweet No.1 / 050113 - On-going social network-based visual project with planned weekly updates. In an effort to play with the immediacy and reach of tweeting, project seeks to tweak, re-define, and turn on its head, its use as a medium, embracing the world of smart phones and new technology. Focus is still on the use of words to convey thoughts and ideas, but takes the time to re-interpret those words as digital posters that are meant to look appropriately sized for a smart phone screen. Workflow loops from phone camera, through E-mail, to computer, and back again, but pauses to materialize tweets in a visual context, albeit at an accelerated pace.
