i have been working at designing and creating the web for over 12 years. after over nine years of working with clients on projects of all sizes, here is a small collection of my work. to filter the entries by project type, please select a category below.
after the band photography and poster design the next project was the CD artwork. the band chose the “digipack” design for their studio cd, so the challenge was to fit all the song lyrics into the digipack template. it was fun to play around with the text to make it work. 
here’s the end result:

using one of the images captured during the band photo shoot i designed a concert poster. the band wanted to be able to use the poster for multiple purposes, so i kept the design simple, with plenty of space to write on the printed posters.

on the porch is a milwaukee based band that was just starting off and came to me for a poster and cd cover layout design. in order to do these two design projects, i also put together a quick photo shoot so the band had some high quality images to use for their marketing materials. here are a few shots from that.

the minnesota based band, fuller still, needed a simple one color tshirt design to sell on their tour. and keeping with the key photo from the photo shoot and cd cover design, this design was born. the client noted that they were a huge hit and sold out very quickly.

a friend of mine (who goes by the name “ua”) wanted a simple cd insert for a cd he recorded himself. i modeled the design after his bare bones voice and guitar sound. i also really wanted to carry out that “hand made” feel of the cd production throughout the design as well.

with the photo shoot and “color and feeling” cd designed, next step was to update the band’s web presence with the new look and feel (pun intended). the site is programmed using a couple key tools to make it possible for the band to easily keep their website up-to-date. first off, wordpress runs the content on the front page (just like this portfolio actually) so the band members can log on and update the front page without having to know web coding. also they use an existing calendar at churchnoise.com for their concerts and have a myspace page blog as well. both of these “pieces” are automatically updated on their website as well.

these are just two examples of our jazz quartet’s upcoming gig posters. i always make them in two sizes: larger ones to hang up places, and smaller quarter page handouts to give to people.

using the pictures from the fuller still photo shoot, as well as other photos i had taken, and even hand written pieces of paper scanned in, i created a full color cd package design for their studio release cd “color and feeling.” they were more than happy with the design, and i later designed their website and press kit in the same style.

the restoration project is a colorado based band/non-profit organization that i’ve done several projects for. this design was a concert poster to send to upcoming show venues so they could advertise the concert.
