TITLE: Teen Flare
ROLE: Designer

Working with an IA Team and Flare Magazine Art Directors I helped to produce an online portal site that appeals to a young audience. It has been designed so that the Teenflare producers can make easy and quick updates to the content. Site includes many features including, forums, video sections, blogs, and articles. This is one of the bigger site designs I have done to date.

TITLE: Banners
ROLE: Designer

Over the last few years I have created my fare share of banners, probably in the hundreds. From gif to flash, super-banner to small contest listings. Banners in my opinion can be one of the hardest things to design -- due to the limited amount of space to work with and the odd dimensions.
