VizCab http://www.vizcab.com The Design Portfolio of Michael Rowley posterous.com Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:59:00 -0800 Untitled http://www.vizcab.com/we-speak-human http://www.vizcab.com/we-speak-human

My work is human.

It's emotional, witty, fun, serious, clear, beautiful, and smart.

Please take a look at my work in mobile, web, print, logos, and identity.

I have skills in design, illustration, photography, and writing.

I craft words and images into clever and persuasive communication.

I'm lucky to work with interesting people.

Tradery-home-2c

Tradery-virtual-2c

Tradery.com was created by a sole engineer in an office in his home while he held down other daytime jobs. The task was to improve the project and give it a professional, big-league look-and-feel.

See how the design evolved from the starting point through wireframes.

Simpsonstimeline2

I had the good fortune to work on The Simpson's style guide: a sprawling binder of art and product ideas that is given to manufacturers who sign up to license The Simpson's brand for clothing lines, toys, and posters. Here is an information-packed timeline of Simpson pop culture.

Playful_c

One of a series of design explorations for a brand make over for BigTent. The design is information rich, easy to read like a magazine with constantly updated information, and with a look-and-feel that appeals to a target market of primarily women professionals who are involved in their communities.

2_home_after

Organic_science

Drug_interactions

BrainCells Inc. wanted a more professional design that reflected the quality of their science and services. Aimed at scientists, pharmaceutical companies, and investors, BCI needed a new website and presentation materials to help explain complex concepts and sell investors on their company. The project included design of the site and also a fair amount of illustration.
