I was asked by someone in my company (CAS) to design a holiday card for one of the departments. They gave me a mockup someone did that was truly awful. This was a holiday card they wanted to send out to all of their subscribers and partners to say thank you around holiday time. In the past, they had done a patent design, so I took that idea and searched online for patents related to the holiday season.
This was a 1-year contract for a Web Content Development role, but then switched to a different title as Web Analyst for the Marketing Team at Chemical Abstracts (CAS) in Columbus, OH. The company was using Drupal for their website and we worked with Media Current to manage development on the site.
This was a 2-month contract as a WordPress Developer for the Marketing Team at InXite Health Systems in Columbus, OH. The company had been working on three websites in WordPress and had a deadline to meet that was coming up soon. So we had 2 months to launch at least 2 of the sites. We ended up launching the day before the deadline. 🙂
I occasionally do tutorials to sharpen my skills and this is a PhotoShop 3D Tutorial that I did for a possible Holiday Campaign. The Interface is a manual slider, so you can see and compare the before-and-after images. Position your cursor over the image to see the original compared with my version on the right.
This was a 3-month contract as a Digital Designer for the Marketing Team at the Express Corporate offices in New Albany, OH. We used JIRA to track jobs and when I got assignments, I would complete them and send them through the approval system for the team.
I did a short contract as a Digital Designer for the Marketing Team at the Big Lots Corporate offices in New Albany, OH. We used JIRA to track jobs and when I got assignments, I would complete them and send them back to the Traffic Controller for the team. My projects ranged from print to web and included e-mail, banners, advertisements, gifs, etc.
This company wanted to keep his site design, but there were issues with the site, so we switched it over to a WordPress site and added blogging. I used JavaScript and PHP to setup the interactivity. As with most of my sites, I design it and set it up and then I release it to the client and no longer have anything to do with the site.
This is a series of Before and After pics from Image Restoration work that I have done over the years. When an image becomes a sepia color, it means it has aged, so when restoring images, I switch it back to the original B&W, unless the client desires the image to be Sepia toned. The Interface is a manual slider, so you can see and compare the before-and-after images.
This was a contract to fix problems with the website that was started by another designer. I redid the design and fixed several issues. The contract was through Robert Half. They have redesigned the site recently.
I did contract work for this Hilliard, OH company coding up e-mails for Bed Bath & Beyond (and Harmon) and proof reading materials for Scottslawn and Roses. This was a 2-month contract that was extended twice.
I taught this design class Fall Semester 2017 for the School of Visual Communication at Ohio University in Athens, OH. I had 11 undergraduates (mostly Freshman & Sophomores) in my class, who had never had a design class before, so their experience varied. I guided them through basic principles of design and gave them their first introduction to InDesign. Their projects included designing a tools guide for InDesign, 2 posters, a resume and a magazine cover and inside layout.
This website was a consulting job for a rental company in Lancaster, OH. I had to code specialized forms and organize their info and sliders (galleries).
