Retro Portfolio: ClarkRasmussen.com Redesign

After the O6 Development site was built, I no longer needed to host my portfolio on ClarkRasmussen.com. Because that site was entirely built around my portfolio, I redesigned it as more of a portal leading to my other sites. The lack of content on the site allowed me to design around an idea that came […]

Retro Portfolio: MSU Promise

The MSU Prom/se (Promise) site was a bit of a rush job and a very disorganized project to work on. The site was built to replace a previous version that the client wasn’t happy with and was the first University Relations project for the designer involved. No time was budgeted for the job, so some […]

Retro Portfolio: Judicial Administration at MSU

The site for MSU’s Judicial Administration Program was very difficult to work on dispite the simple format because the information architecture was never well thought out. As a result, the site’s design was constantly being adjusted to modify the menus. I was in charge of building the site once the original design was completed. It […]

I was also […]

The August 2003 redesign of DetroitHockey.Net was mostly unnecessary but I did it anyway. I had never really liked the “edgier” design I tried to do in the November 2002 redesign and wanted to go back to a more traditional style for the site. As well, I thought that too many images were used in […]

Retro Portfolio: ClarkRasmussen.com

By August 2003 I had already gotten tired of the original design for ClarkRasmussen.com that was developed in May of that year. I had never really liked the first design but I had yet to come up with a better one, so I worked out this design. There were two drastic changes. The first saw […]

Retro Portfolio: MSU.edu Redesign Support

I was working as a student at Michigan State University’s Division of University Relations when the campus-wide project to rebuild MSU’s website occurred. Because University Relations was involved in the redesign, I had the opportunity to work with the designers that built the new site. I did not design the site, nor did I build […]

Retro Portfolio: DetroitHockey.Net Redesign

In September 2002, drwcentral.net became DetroitHockey.Net. DetroitHockey.Net continued to use the same page layout as drwcentral.net. By November of that year, I had decided that DetroitHockey.Net needed a fresh start and its own page design. I used one of my favorite past drwcentral.net designs as a starting point and created a new look for the […]
