A concept website.

My wife recently asked me to build her a new website. One that she could feel proud of and show to her family and friends as well as use to launch future home business ventures on. This is what I came up with.

MyRatePlan widget design

Requesting comments… I designed this in Illustrator and added the shadow in Photoshop. I intend to use this design for a Yahoo! widget for MyRatePlan.com.

GTAC Website

I built this website for the Georgia Tech Analog Consortium (GTAC). This was a full-site redesign incorporating apache Server Side Includes (SSI) for headers, footers, and link-boxes. All content was pre-existing.

Credits: title-bar background by Apple. Photos by multiple unknown.

I designed all layout and background art (other than that used as the background for the header). And built all the CSS from scratch.

They have not yet adopted the new design, but you can try it out, here.

A 2 hour cover design

I hacked this together with only 2 hours of work. sprisingly, it won out over several designs from a “professional” designer… of course, I had the advantage of having local photographs to work with instead of generic art.

I fiddled with the color a bit to make the photographer’s lighting stand out a bit more, by adding a “soft lighting” layer over each photo with solid colors. I think the overall effect worked nicely and the whole thing turned out more professional looking that I had hoped.

As it stands, this will be used for my company’s internal/industry status report.
