Love & Reflection

As an attempt to carry forward a brand for Alazanto, I turned the following study into a downloadable poster. More to come in the near future.

The Wound Deepens

A poster I designed for those in Darfur. The composition is derived from the Sudanese flag. One element has become a knife that cuts into the body (the flag as a whole). When a single population is singled out for extermination, a nation is killing itself. The United Nations now has […]

Lebreeze Thunderbird

By popular demand I decided to construct a visual style for Mozilla’s mail client too.

Le Breeze

As a windows user, I was searching for the sort of look and feel I was used to with the macintosh browsers. This is my attempt to bring that desirable look to Mozilla Firefox.

Tierra Hermosa

The following is a website I created for a new eco-tourism outfit based in Costa Rica. The goal of the organization is to posit education as a central principal in tourism. They hope to inspire the people who visit to return home with a new drive to help protect the fragile ecosystems of the region.

Face Study 1/25/04

A study of a man’s face created in Adobe Illustrator. My purpose was to gain a greater understading of form and light. In addition, the colored shapes make for a very interesting texture. More experiments to come.

Indymedia Proposal

The following is a proposed redesign I created for the Independent Media Center. After meeting one of the organization’s founders, I developed a certain respect for the aspirations of the organization.

Alazanto 2

The following is the second major revision of my personal site, Alazanto. This design was completed in December of 2003.

Niece Photos

Photographs of my photogenic nieces. Sophie is the older one and Pheobe is the younger. No pine trees were harmed during the shooting of this compilation.

Alazanto 1

The following is the first major revision of my personal site, Alazanto. It was completed in August of 2003.

CSS Zen Garden: Burning

The CSS Zen Garden is a very important project because it gives designers the chance to utilize practical, but relatively new web standards to show other designers that nearly any sort of attractive design can be created through the use of these standards.

MT Carbon

Movabletype outputs this particular weblog to pure XML (extensible markup language). This data can be ported to any source you like. This document reads the XML data and transforms it into something that a web browser (in our case, IE6, Netscape 6+, Mozilla) can read.

CSS Zen Garden: Atlantis

This small project was very exiciting, of course, because it still shows that I have a little bit of my old style left in me. I was starting to worry that I would be destined to create boxes (see the current design) for an eternity. However, as the old cliche goes, one must learn to think outside of the box!

Ethel Davis Gallery

This small online gallery was a chance for my mother to publish a considerable portion of her portfolio onto the internet. My goal was to create a clean, backwards-compatiable website that would enable her to showcase and sell her artwork and also share her romantic and earthly poetry.

Old Relics of Design

And here we shall see a few old relics of a past life. To live, is to express one’s soul. However, in a society as mechanistic as this, are we not allowed to live, and express to our very heart’s desire?

Hanging

This composition was an attempt to express the superficiality of fasion photography. Many props were harmed in the shooting of this photograph.
