Just for fun
    Flash Valentine
Qpid - The Chicken Hunter
February 2001 - Flash 5 animation
A wacky twist on a Rich Beckman staple just to get things started. My very first attempt at animation with Flash and I'm still pleased with the unusual outcome.

2004 - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Integration with advanced content management system
Lead designer responsible for complete redesign launched in 2004.

The 30th in Iraq
2004 - Flash MX 2004 Professional, Photoshop CS
Designed the worn shell for this multimedia piece.

Journey on the Eno
2004 - Flash MX 2004 Professional, Photoshop CS
Designed the shell and built the internal movies. Did not produce the audio piece.

First in Flight
2003 - Flash MX
Built the "Examine the flyer in detail" movie under "Graphics." It won an NPPA award.
Here's the original shell I built which never got developed or used because of my commitment to the newsobserver.com redesign. The difference in quality is painfully obvious.


ACC Tournament Coverage
2003 - Flash MX, Peak DV
Produced audio slideshow game capsules for each game of the tournament. Captured audio at post-game interviews, collected photos from photographers, and edited a game summary movie from audio and photos for each game... all on site. Each movie was produced and posted before the next game finished.
Complete package no longer available online due to redesign.


Conflict in Iraq
2003 - Flash MX, Freehand
Produced and updated an interactive information graphic on the Iraq conflict. It was distributed and used by McClatchy newspaper affiliates across the country.
No longer available online due to redesign.

Print / Flyers / Logos
   

Flyers
Photoshop, Illustrator, Strata Pro
I design a large number of the club and event flyers in the Triangle. Flyers are a challenge because often there is no art to work with. I'm responsible for creating a theme or mood for an event, targeting a specific audience, and making it "cool" all from scratch or a few photos.







  Logos
Photoshop, Illustrator, Swift 3D
Here are some examples of logos I've created. They range from corporate branding to personal marks.

  Drawing
I'm including this drawing because I feel like it pretty much sums up my abilities. First, there is the execution. The drawing itself shows technical drawing skills. Shading, depth, and precision. The attention to detail is abundant. If this thing came to life, the stinger on the tail would be fully functional. Which brings me to the most important aspects - imagination and creativity. This drawing was a doodle, completely created and composed out of thin air and a dash of boredom. And while the end result may stike you as a bit unusual, it shows off my ability to create "unique" content.
*Disclaimer: Don't be scared. I'm really a nice, normal guy. No, seriously!
