Barstow High Reunion Website
Website for my high school alma mater's 30-year reunion.
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.
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.
For Fastbreak, I developed an entirely new identity that speaks to their core demographic of middle managers at Fortune 500 companies who are responsible for company season tickets to sporting events. Visit FASTBREAK.com
Designed to attract traffic around New Year's which is traditionally a slow time for ecards. The concept: have your fortune told and share it with the people you care about. Terry Chay did a great job programming it.
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.
Kanji PictoCards is adapted from my award-winning book, Kanji Pictographix. It includes over 2,000 visual mnemonics for learning the Japanese writing system. Unlike the book, the visuals are in color, it includes audio pronunciation guides, stroke order guides for writing, and an intuitive and visually compelling experience.
Users can browse by grade level, see stroke count and order, hear native speaker pronunciations, understand radical (root word-like) meanings, and compare and contrast kanji with similarly looking characters.
Barstow gets a bad rap as a pit-stop on the way to Vegas. Many Barstow High alumni have led accomplished lives as authors, entrepreneurs, news casters, pro football players, a Miss California scholarship winner, and proud parents, and community leaders. For my high school reunion, I decided to give the school the professional brand it deserves.

For this project for Lucas Arts, I took an existing font and manipulated the forms and added a rough-hewn bevel. The background was made from soil, fire, and a ruler from stock images.
I am a designer, illustrator, and photographer with an interest in information design and visual communication.
