I designed a set of cards for a maternity company called Haute Momas. It offers two coupons on the back of a card, with a pretty standard stock photo for the front. Still, it turned out pretty darn good – I am a bit fan of the color scheme I selected. Has a very professional, yet light “smoothness” to it.

This next set is from a flyer for a theme week for Program Board (an student-run organization that organizes and programs all the events on campus). I was experimenting with a lot of new colors, and it turned out pretty damn slick.

Getting correct colors for the printing was pretty challenging, but it turned out very eye catching and I’ve received a lot of positive feedback from it.

Tell me what you think of both projects!

Just launched a clients website at www.shepherd.edu/intramurals. Check it out! Big props to Jenna Z, who is the graphic designer at Intramurals, for being a great help.

It is a winter wonderland here in small town Thomas, WV. The days are long, full of holiday cheer, laughter, and merriment.

Oh, and a shit ton of design work.

As you may or may not know, I’m a fairly accomplished professional designer. I’ve been designing fairly steadily for about five years now, and have created dozens of websites. I’m nearing the one hundred mark. I’m not great by any means, but I’m getting better and better, and my work is really beginning to shine.

Anyway, enough about me! Let’s talk design.

For our first project in Advertising and Imagery (a class I’m taking this semester), we were instructed to design an advertisement for a new type of cigarette, the “Marijuana Cigarette.” This is obviously not a real product, mind you! I designed and developed all three ads.

Check out what I came up with:

• Advertisement for male magazine
• Advertisement for female magazine
• Alternative advertisement for female magazine

FPS Gaming Community launched earlier this month, and I’m very proud of how it’s turned out. It runs off a Wordpress installation, but it’s very non-blog-like in functionality. It’s got a nice Web 2.0 feel to it, while having this great dark, blue glowing vibrancy to it.

I got the theme from Elegant Themes (I’m now a huge fan), and edited it quite extensively. I’m very happy with how it turned out, design-wise.

So what is FPS Gaming Community, anyway? Well, to put it plainly, it’s a community for gamers. Like the name didn’t give that part away! But what sort of things does said community do?

• Maintains a collection of fast, updated game servers with friendly admins and consistent rules.
  We’re sponsored kindly by the folks at FPS Gaming Solutions.
• Has a Ventrilo voice chat that anyone from the community may use to stay coordinated.
  We’re sponsored kindly by the folks at MainVoice.
• Events and activities that all members can get involved with! From “Late Night” sessions to pub events to tournaments and more, we plan on making gaming more fun and social.
• Clubs that any member can start up that focuses in on their particular interest – whether it’s a specific game, collection of games, a certain niche, or even a competitive team!
• A website and forums that offer even more cool content as well as a place to come together as a community and mobilize (hopefully for world domination, if everything goes to plan).

So, basically, check it out. The domain is www.fpsgamingcommunity.com. I’m very proud of how it’s turning out, and can’t wait to see it expand even further.
