I made two major design changes to DetroitHockey.Net for the version that launched in October of 2006. The first was to abandon a “fluid” layout in favor of an “elastic” one and the second was to incorporate a horizontal – rather than vertical – navigation bar. The change to an elastic design was because of […]
The HockeyBird.com Tenth Season logo evolved from the Illustrator equivalent of a set of doodles. I was working on another project and was a little stuck so I started putting together ideas for a logo for HockeyBird.com’s upcoming 10th season. A set of three were developed, all with the same design but slightly different styling. […]
My wife and I were planning on having a luau-themed party on July 1, 2006. Even though we were in the U.S. we jokingly referred to it as our Canada Day luau. As the joke continued, I decided to make a logo for the event. The shape is meant to resemble the look of the […]
On February 27th, 2006, a new version of Michigan State University’s web site launched. The next night, a team at MSU’s Division of University Relations that included myself rolled out a series of new sites for the university administration. The updated sites were for the Office of the President, the Office of the Provost, and […]
With the predecessor site of DetroitHockey.Net having been founded in 1996, I wanted to celebrate the site’s 10th season in 2006 with a logo. Unfortunately, it took me until over halfway through that season to come up with one. Sticking to my usual method of designing logos that could be worn as patches on a […]
The second phase of the FoodProtectionEducation.org project I worked on at MSU’s Division of University Relations saw a new design implemented in an effort to mimic the design of their parent site, that of the National Center for Food Protection and Defense at the University of Minnesota. The new design was pulled together using elements […]
This image was created to honor Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jiri Fischer, who collapsed on the bench during a game on November 21, 2005. Fischer was revived and later declared to be in good health but it was immediately uncertain if he would ever play hockey again. I created this image to be displayed by […]
The version of DetroitHockey.Net launched in September of 2005 had been in development for over a year but the design had stayed pretty much the same throughout the process. All advertising banners were removed from the site, so I was able to go with a smaller header section that still featured the wordmark and site […]
Working with the National Food Safety and Toxicology Center, Michigan State University’s Division of University Relations launched FoodProtectionEducation.org in early July of 2005. The project was the NFSTC’s contribution to a project being run by the National Center for Food Protection and Defense at the University if Minnesota, a group sponsored by the US Department […]
The site for Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine was a project that I worked on while at MSU’s Division of University Relations. The design process had been somewhat of a messy one, so the development process really needed to run smoothly. That need, combined with the fact that the CHM site would be […]
