Dorian’s a pretty talented indie musician friend. I created a strong identity and logo for him; then used them to redesign his old website based around his music.

Jun 23, 2008The site finally outgrew its humble Flash beginnings. This was part of a complete redesign and an attempt to move it to a more manageable Drupal CMS and HTML based site so Dorian could update all the content himself. Unfortunately we decided to shelve it before it was completed. I hope to work with him again someday to realize this design or any other that may happen.

Jan 31, 2006Tweaked the layout and expanded it to accommodate more content.

Sep 13, 2005This is the first redesign and was done completely in Flash with PHP, MySQL, and XML running in the back to help manage the content.

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, just 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.

CurrentlyWorking on Version 2 of the site. Here’s the current mockup.

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. For v2.0 I spiffied it up for easier maintenance; streamlined, and organized the various files we were using; unified the design; 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.
