web work: design and development

The world wide web is a fascinating place. I remember it's inception, it's infant years, pubescence, and now it's violent, awkward teenage years. This media is still learning what it is and what it's good at. (Read more McLuhan. ) The internet is growing, changing, coming into it's own and happily, I'm smack dab in the middle of it.

My web expertise contains the following:

  • Creative / Art Direction
  • Web Design / Development
  • Strategy Development
  • HTML, CSS, Javascript, AJAX, JQuery, XML, PHP, MySQL, Wordpress, Django

n2

n2 is a social search algorithm that connects users to the "right" friends when asking a question or looking for advice.

A crisp, modern color palette along polished textures create a "high-tech" look and feel. I also created a series of illustrations to better communicate n2's core functionality.

Aught Seven

Aught-Seven was a digital studio specializing in satirical entertainment properties. While employed there, I created a cartoon web series known as Officer Bob.

My aim with this site was to capture both the satirical and cynical by utilizing "easter egg" jokes, visual puns and societal commentary.

Manatee is an automatically generated webcomic system that attempts to complete a common English expression in a funny or thought provoking manner. To this end, the system mines the internet for sentences, tallying words that occur next to one another. This statistical information then guides the construction of a humorous or insightful phrase that is set agaist the back-drop of a related photograph.
