Here’s my first attempt at building a website from the ground up. I approached the multi-talented Adrian Prohaska offering to re-craft his music portfolio site. He agreed. I’ve only been dabbling in interactive work for about 6 months but I wanted to take this chance to design and code a simple and elegant site that would show off Adrian’s work and my own rudimentary coding skills.

The site boasts of: no flash, a little javascript, html5 custom typography, a Tumblr account, and of course, the music of Adrian Prohaska. Take a look: AdrianProhaska.com

Poster + T-shirt for The 2010 NW Pinball Championships. OK I’m done w/ Pinball for a while!

When you’re in school you’d scoff at doing any work for a bubble-gum pop sensation. Clearly, you’ll be designing Cormac McCarthy and Animal Collective covers. But after a couple sobering years of being paid very little for the most creative work you do, you will gladly vie for the chance to design backgrounds for Taylor Swift. This was a really fun job. Client work for Odopod for Sony Cybershot.

I helped craft the new Sony PIIQ Headphones Website design. I didn’t do the majority of the design, but I did -ahem- conceptualize the original stripped down ‘real’ hand models look. That along with explore many many creative avenues as the site was honed down to it’s final state. Here’s a fun type exploration I did, though pretty obvious it wouldn’t make the final cut—I still love this sorta thing (obviously).

About a year ago, some friends of mine put together the comprehensive Portland Pinball Map —a list of pretty much every machine, their condition, and location in the bars and restaurants of Portland, OR. Then, a couple weeks ago I got the call and heard the talented Isaac Ruiz was making an iPhone app for. I watched the Sesame Street pinball counting number about 12 times and went to work.

I just finished these illustrations and type treatments for the 2010 SIGG Catalog. Well. I like them quite a bit. It was an interesting chance to work with a 100+ year old brand and push the existing brand standards beyond the norm. Client work for Duncan/Channon.

One for a photographer. One for a Hot Dog stand. Both with small budgets. Still, I’m into them… oh and the first one’s for a piece of excersize equipment that was ultimately killed. Meh.

Here’s some Paper Type Nonsense. For no good reason. but a placeholder for a few really great/fun projects to come…

A campaign of posters commissioned by Plan: Norway. The text reads:

In many places girls are seen as less worth than boys. They have less education, less food, are often forced marriage at a young age, gender dismembered and raped. Where children have it bad girls have it worst.

This is in strong contrast to who contributes the most later in life. By helping a girl she will only use 10% of what she earns for herself. The rest she will share with family and community. Boys, however, use 60-70% themselves. This is fact, and one of the reasons why we in the Plan through many years, has had extra focus on girls. Plan takes no political or religious positions and jobs for children’s rights, but in many countries it seems that they have forgotten that girls are children. Children that is profitable to focus on. Go into plan-norge.no and find out more about why girls are worth more than boys!
