and Holland
hotlinking to my bad wabbit. how did they find me?! if you have
any rabbit spottings, lemme know.

MaxCanus (3/29/06 -- in development): Full development, domain
administration, and design services for a police dog training
and breeding business in Orange County, NY.
Client had a fairly good idea of how he wanted the logo to look
and sent over a sketch. I spent a day doing various drawings in
Illustrator and translated that into a finished logo, ready for
the web and for use on his business cards, letterhead, and other
printed materials.
Site development in progress.

This was a complete build from scratch, to replace the all-Flash
version they previously had. (Flash is BAD BAD for sites
for a number of BIG reasons I'll discuss later). The new
version is PHP driven, using a few custom scripts I wrote,
turning a 200+ page site into only about a dozen files to
have to edit. It would've been a giant headache to manage
without dynamic programming and my gerry-rigged CMS. PHP
is tha bomb!
I also designed the two Flash components. I think they look
quite nice. Have a look-see.

The hand animation turned out better than I had hoped
for. The first couple of iterations looked terrifying.
There was more interactivity in the original storyboards,
but client decided to remove it.

I supplied the concept and storyboards, their designer
provided the static illustrations. I put it all together
and did the lighting effects, animation, and snow (yippie!
it's dynamic). Shape tweening the ribbon got a little
hairy!
CLIENT: Vidicom:
a fashion marketing and video production comapny in Manhattan.
After seeing my mediamixx ad (above), Vidicom wanted me
to do their PR WEEK ad also, and another one for Odwyer's
(March 2005). Client supplied copy. I supplied everything
else, coming up with the concept, the illustrations, and
the Flash animation. Cramming in all that text into such
a narrow space proved to be quite a challenge, but I worked
out an elegant solution.
These two ads generated a lot of new business leads for
Vidicom, said my c lient. She was quite happy with the
results.

John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY SEEK Program: design
and illo for a book cover. Looks terrible in the PDF, but the
test print from a professional color laser printer at Kinko's
is gorgeous! "Think Outside the Box" wasn't my idea
(overused). I couldn't get the CUNY logo from their graphics guy,
so I ended up redoing it by hand. My digital camera is terrible,
so you can't see the nice shiny red ink in the photo below.

CLIENT: Family Care International, a non-profit in
NY focusing on women's reproductive rights and health
education in developing countries.
I was their technical consultant, database manager (FileMaker),
as well as their tech support guy and all around computer
handyman.
LEFT: site/UI/IA redesign. Their previous website was
poorly organized, hard to use, unattractive, and relied
heavily on image rollovers and non-editable GIF text.
Maintainability was a big issue, so I re-engineered the
site to bring it into compliance with current standards
and gave it a more modern look, as well as modularized
code for easy updating by anyone with basic HTML knowledge.
SafeMotherhood.org: initial proposal and pitch for
a complete re-engineering of site, IA/UI design, rebuilt
all code from scratch to ensure optimal performance, did
all the graphics production work, image manipulation and
cleanup, re-created charts for ease of use, etc.. In other
words, I did everything from start to finish.
