I have finally decided to start a “Refresh” group in my community. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, a “Refresh” is a community of developers, designers, usability experts and other new media professionals working together to refresh the creative, technical and professional aspects of their trade and help foster new ideas in their area. The area in this case is the Tri-Cities area of Eastern Tennessee.

If you live in or around the Tri-Cities area (Johnson City, Kingsport or Bristol) and you would like to be a part and/or would like to assist me in planning, please contact me.

This was my first project with Shiftcore Studios. Motion Picture Demise, an Orange Peel Records band, wanted a site that would enable them to keep in close contact with their fans, display tour dates and share photos.

Tim, our lead designer and founder took on the task of designing this layout from art from MPD’s CD. He then animated the main flash header and sent the layout to me for XHTML / CSS slicing.

Once the layout was sliced, I installed wordpress and implemented this design as a theme.

As you may have noticed, I am implementing a brand new design for this blog.  I have spent the better part of the day on the design and I couldn’t be happier with it.

I’ve also decided that this blog will now be much more Design, Marketing and SEO oriented as they are primarily my livelihood.  I want to learn what you know, by showing you what (little) I know.

I’m going to call it a day, if you get a chance - tell me what you think of this new theme and how it could be improved in the comments.

Web + was a project I worked on for Brian. I adapted his design to Wordpress in order to give his blog the custom feel he wanted.

Rose Concrete Coatings was an adventurous web design for a concrete coatings company from Nevada.  Mike from Rose Coatings wanted to show off his work and also display his various inventory of stone finishings for garages, patios and decks.

Unfortunately Mike went with the updating service, HWS, and they have posted a claim on the design at the bottom of the page.  I assure you this is my work and they have claimed it fraudulently.  Oh well!  Still had fun with this one.
