/// Web Design Selection 02

A lot of variety here. WOLFEworks looks better in motion. Some of this work is not even approved yet… shhh.

/// K-G Packaging Designs

This project started off with some pretty boring designs on my part. I’ll not be posting them here. Once the environmental angle was approved I went a little crazy with variations as seen above.

/// Tire Shopping Centre Logo & Website

This turned out to be one of the easiest and ultimately one of my favourite designs to date. Both the logo and the web design came to me suspiciously fast.

After creating the initial designs I moved on to another project and Lori was left to design revisions, mockup content pages and construct the templates.

/// T-Shirt Monster Logo & Website

The T-Shirt Monster logo is something I feel a little protective of. Most of my work does not involve me creating anything freehand. However, the little monster for this was created late one night while I was just doodling around in Flash. At first I thought it was too silly to use, but everyone seemed to really like it, so it stuck.

You can download a pdf of my very first concepts here.

This project has been under development for over a year and when I looked back on the original mockups I wasn’t surprised to see that they looked nothing like the current site. Also, a huge amount of supporting design has been done in parallel with the development by Michael Kinkaid.

/// Slash Shirts part 2

Some new shirts made using T-Shirt Monster. Two are previous designs revised. We placed some orders recently. I of course ordered my slash shirt number 4. It’s pretty exciting to think that these designs could end up on a real shirt.

I’ll post about T-Shirt Monster logo and web design soon.

/// St. Joseph's Logo & Website

It’s taken a little too long to get this up. The need to use the old ST shape was quite a challenge. I originally felt that the logo needed a much more modern feel but quickly understood that the scope of it’s use and the people that were making the decisions were not going to go for it. I also created a style guide (download pdf)

Design on this website was a bit odd. We knew going in that the site was going to need to accommodate a large amount of content. All navigational elements also would need to expand to almost unlimited proportions. In the end this effected the design negatively, but I think there are quality components.

/// Slash Shirts

These are my first shirt creations using T-Shirt Monster. All of which will be available to order as soon as the site goes live. In many ways the limitations of the design application are very liberating! Check em out.

/// Bortolotto Website

This project went through a lot of changes. The designs here are presented chronologically from most recent to least. The two most recent ones are similar, but the first is my chosen work and the second is the edited version. I’ll post work for St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton and T-Shirt Monster as soon as they’re live.

/// Lots of Sprint Work

Much of this work needs to be completed within no more than a couple hours and I’ve chosen these ones because despite the time constraint they’re alright. Most of these consist of an email invite, a registration micro-site and sometimes a PDF flyer style invite. I do maybe 2-5 of these every couple of weeks.

/// Web Design Selection 01

Some of these designs were created after many many variations. Others I was given a couple hours to figure out. Most of these are at least 6 months to a year old. I’m saving some of the very recent projects until they are live. They’re top secret ye know. Also, I think some deserve a full post of their own.

/// Old Design Work


Looking back over some of my freelance work it’s amazing how little I want to put up here now…
