BrainCells Inc

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.

Good Fortune eCard User Interface

   

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.

The Game - Movie Premiere Invitation

     

The Game was PolyGram's first feature film with their name on it and they wanted to make a splash. This movie premiere invitation is made of five puzzle cards and an invite wrapped in a clover-shaped envelope that folds open to reveal a maze of visuals from the movie. After the invites went out, James Cameron called the studio to ask who designed the piece.

Kanji PictoCards on iPhone

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.

I love Aztecs poster

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.
