on3design – website (version two)

admin — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 06:03:41 +0000

after over two years of on3design’s first website design, it was time to freshen up the look and feel for the photography company. al & lyndsey also had a new logo and wanted more control over their website & photo galleries. the solution was a completely redesigned wordpress powered website, using flickr for their photo slideshows. the custom wordpress template includes a different flickr slideshow on each page that the client can edit at any time.

the goal for this website was to create something that could be very easily updated. so i set up the whole site on wordpress, and gave pastor gaeta the login information and let her go to town with adding content. i also created a flickr account to make it easy for anyone to upload more pictures.

miltown kings – website design

admin — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 06:04:46 +0000

the miltown kings are a drag king troupe here in milwaukee. their website was very out of date and not very user friendly to update. since most of the “kings” had full time jobs and were not web programmers, they needed a website that could fit around them. also, through getting to know them personally, i learned how much deeper the troupe’s passion was. the drag kings had plenty of fun, but were serious about social justice and raising awareness for a wide variety of causes and organizations. this website includes space for all of those aspects, as well as an easy to use “back end” so that anyone can update the website. i also had the opportunity to be the official photographer for one of their shows. (those photos can be found here.)

admin — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 02:30:03 +0000

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.

random photography

admin — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 12:43:07 +0000

what is “random photography” you ask? well, it’s basically pictures that i randomly found on my computer when i was looking through my work to post on here… and i thought “hey.. i really like these.” these photos were taken with my old nikon 35mm SLR camera, in various places, in various times. (aka: very random) looking at film photography makes me realize there is some sort of… character… that cannot be reproduced using digital photography. this is why i will never get rid of my old 35mm cameras.

fuller still – photo shoot

fuller still, a Minnesota based band, needed a design for a new studio-release cd. so we set up a photo shoot to gather images to be used for press kit, website and the cd design. they were nice enough to drive down to milwaukee (a 5.5 hour drive), stand out in the cold bitter wind, sit on an old green couch with three legs, and even eat some mustard at a local chinese resturant that tasted like band-aids.
