StiffsNotes: Life Lies – Book series and website

Sunday, December 5th, 2010

Client: Student Work
Date: December 1st, 2010
Services: Publication Design, Typography, Web Design & Development, Stickers

A few details about the project:
StiffsNotes is a fictitious company dedicated to providing insight to life’s poor decision making. The two books I’ve created involve stereotypes of common college folk and their dating rituals. It is meant to bring smiles to faces, not wipe them off. The books are funny, thought-provoking, and partially true. Each contains 22-25 types of personalities. One book male, one book female, and are being raffled off on the website I’ve created to market the site.

You may notice a resemblance to CliffsNotes, and that was intentional, but not to violate any copyrights. It’s an iconic cover for helpful tips, and I felt it was appropriate to mirror that for this book series. The typography is solid, but tacky looking, and the website reflects that as well.

Disc Drive Dropzone

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Client: College – CGIII
Date: May 14th, 2009
Services: E-commerce, back-end development, site design, identity design

A few details about the project:
This was an experiment for myself involving PHP back-end development with a shopping cart script. I didn’t write the script, but certainly customized the MYSQL database and code within to produce the visual aesthetics on the site. This was not cross-browser tested (the only project of mine that isn’t), as only students in the class were able to see it on the iMacs in the lab. A breadcrumb script was also implemented at the last minute to further expand my horizon in PHP.

WVYC.org WordPress Theme

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Client: York College Radio Station
Date: March 2nd, 2009
Services: WordPress, site design, coding, webmaster

A few details about the project:
Originally it was designed as a WordPress template, which was fully functional, and 100% XHTML/CSS compliant. However, the servers at the college had been changed (disallowing PHP) after the project was implemented in WordPress, so then, a full strict HTML site was developed, and uploaded on their servers.

Nationally Recognized:
As of March 8th, 2010, the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System (IBS) has deemed this design the “Best Website” of college radio stations across the country.
