Welcome to v3.0 of my site. I'm still updating it but feel free to poke around but remember... you break it, you buy it... j/k lol etc etc.
A buddy of mine had this new album releasing that he wanted to give away for free on the intertubes. A really simple website and forum was all he needed. So I used the obvious colors in the band name, kept everything nice and big, and created a mood that fit the music. All the artwork is courtesy his girlfriend.
A client friend wanted a low key site to send out to prospective sponsors and investors for a documentary she is making about outsourcing surrogacy to India. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to use any video clips just yet and only had 1/2 a day to get it running. So voilà a simple HTML site with screenshots and information.
Dorian's a pretty talented indie musician friend so I created a strong identity and logo for him; then used them to redesign his old website based around his music. It's currently completely in Flash with a bunch of PHP, MySQL, and XML running in the back to help manage the content. Unfortunately the site has outgrown its humble Flash beginnings and v3.0 will move to a more manageable CMS and HTML based site so Dorian can update all the content by himself.
Here's the more corporate side of me. This is part of an in-house project for the investment firm which currently employs me. It grew out of a printed brochure I did for them. I have no idea what the fund is about so I concentrated on making the tables, charts, and graphs look pretty (I'm joking... well only half joking).
Update 04/17/08 - Their site is down so I'm linking to my own copy for now.
This is a for documentary production company that deals with subject matter related to my ethnic background (Indian). I created a quick logo, kept it clean and simple, my style, and put in little dashes of Indianicity??? to give it some flair. It's in Flash, making it easier to hande their video, with an updatable database for the content.
Ah here lies a personal pet project. My good buddy Jin Kato and I recorded and produced a podcast called 101 Web Design Show; agreed, not the greatest name. We tackled topics that we came across in our projects and looked at methods and solutions from a light-hearted just-starting-out-in-web-design point of view; along with all the mistakes and experimentation that happens. All credit for the design goes to Jin which for v2.0 I spiffied up a little and added the message board. The most controversial decision we made was creating the site in Flash and we took a lot of flack for it. Our reason? At the time we were both quite proficient in Flash and were able to quickly put together all the functionality we needed while writing, recording, editing, and producing the show. We're on an indefinate hiatus right now and fingers crossed, we'll find the time to continue.
