1. Sesame Communications – Compton web design
   Dr. Compton was given to me by Sesame as a rush job that was already behind schedule. I came up with this design in about four hours (not shown are the interior pages that were designed). The doctor didn’t have a logo, so I created a quick one for his practice.
   
2. Ballard Plaza Pharmacy – Table display backdrop
   Using their new branding, I created a backdrop for a trade show the client was attending.
   
3. Vows & Values – Postcard design
   Client needed a postcard without bleeds that she could get printed quickly.

   Using the info from the postcard I created last month, I created a rack card for the client.
   
5. Sesame Communications – Schwarcz web design
   
6. Dimension Systems – Logo design, stationary, business card, & branding guidelines
   Client needed a consistent logo and branding (too many people were creating their own version of the logo). The branding guidelines makes things clear to everyone in the company.
   
7. Mountaineers Photo Committee – Web redesign & development
   The photo committee’s website hadn’t been updated in years and still had a 90′s look. I made it more modern looking with easier navigation.
   
8. Clear Source Marketing – Cartridge Express logo
   
9. Sesame Communications – Steiman web design
   
10. Sesame Communications – Freeman web design
    
11. AMV – Arundel Web Redesign
    Current site (below) was very harsh looking and hard to navigate.
    I came up with two options for a site redesign (below), using similar colors, but with minimal use of the orange. The navigation is also easier.
    

     

    

12. Stritmatter – Publication ads
    
13. LKK Partners – Delbene splash page
    
14. Sesame Communications – Parrot web design

16. VM Creative – MS Telemarket Guide
    

I worked on the following projects during the month of May 2009. Note: Sesame Communications contracts with me to do web designs. They handle all the client interaction.

1. Sesame Communications – Gross web design
   Dr. Gross is a small-by-design dental practice. She had an easier time saying what she didn’t like than what she liked. She wanted a site that didn’t  look crowded with text. She wanted the site to have a boutique feel and not be too flashy or sales driven. Using samples she clipped from a magazine, I was able to come up with a color scheme that appealed to her as well as present a look she could be proud of.
   
2. Ballard Plaza Pharmacy – Brochure
   Ballard Plaza Pharmacy first came to me to design their logo and develop their brand. They wanted to start incorporating their new look  in their marketing pieces. This brochure is one that will be handed out at trade shows. Using shades of the colors from their logo, I was able to make the brochure look attractive while presenting information in smaller pieces instead of whole pages of text.
   
3. AMV – RRC web design
   Renaissance Rug Company wanted a website to showcase their carpets, but didn’t want just pictures of rugs on their site. Searching through stock photos of similar rugs with people in them was a priority. They were particular about the colors to use: gold and chocolate brown. The background of the site looks like a screened version of a rug and each page has at least two large photos of people enjoying their rugs.
   
4. Sesame Communications – Schwarcz web design
   Comfort Family Dental didn’t have a logo. The doctor was specific about the colors he wanted to use as well as wanting photos of Detroit. I searched for photos and found some that were applicable, using one as a background and the others as a rotating flash banner. I also created a simple text-based logo for the practice name using blocks of color and lines to give a little more character (quick and dirty since I wasn’t being paid to design a logo).
   
5. Sesame Communications – DDA web design
   Downtown Dental Association wanted a site that used light greens and browns and had some curves to it. I included a curve in the nav and above the main content, also using gradients to give sections more definition.
   

    

   After presenting it to the client, they decided they wanted brighter greens and darker blues. They also wanted to use a photo of Mt. Rainer in the header and the navigation moved to the left.  The following is the revised design.
   

6. Adam Smith – Web design
   Adam Smith is a politician that needed his website redesigned to look more modern. He also wanted to add a blog and social media icons. The new site is better organized. The following is a screen shot of the old site.
   

    

   This is what the new site looks like:
   

7. Sesame Communications – Russell web design
   Dr. Russell is located in the Bahamas and wanted a playful site. The trick was to do this using colors that would coordinate with his logo colors of orange and purple.
   

    

   After Dr. Russell reviewed the design, he designed that he didn’t want playful and wanted more of a boutique feel. Below is the revised design.
   

8. Confidential – Wall canlendar design
   Client wanted a wall calendar that would be attractive to display and allow enough space to write in events.
   
9. Sesame Communications – Organ Web Design
   Dr. Organ wanted his website to use colors from his logo and have a spa quality to it. Since his logo has a gradient in it, I used the same colors to create a gradient background to reaffirm his brand. The rotating flash banner shows people of all ages since his clientele has a wide variety.
   
10. Sesame Communications – Israel web design
    Dr. Israel wanted to use blues and grays on his site. Since he’s near the beach, he wanted to  include something to show that relationship. In the flash banner, I used a single photo of a beach and masked several sets of people that were placed in front of the beach scene and rotated. The background also has some elements that give the appearance of being underwater.
    
11. AMV – Columbia Hospitality landing page
    Columbia Hospitality needed a landing page to announce a wine festival they were sponsoring. The logo for the event was already created and needed to be pretty big since it included the event name. the page also needed to match the branding of the Columbia Hospitality website. To give the page more interested, I located several photos of the event location and placed them across the top of content area.
    
12. Seattle Reproduction – Patient flyer
    
13. Seattle Reproduction – Rack card
    
14. Seattle Reproduction – Postcard
    
15. AMV – Northwest Environmetrics web design
    Northwest Environmetrics wanted to redesign their website to make it more modern and to better show what they did.

     

    Below is the original site:

    

    This is the new design:
