Taylor-Made Deep Creek Vacations Website Design

Tay­lor-Made Deep Creek Vaca­tions was a start-up rental prop­er­ty man­age­ment busi­ness when I began work­ing on their site as a free­lance job in Feb­ru­ary 2008. I designed comps for all the pri­ma­ry and sec­ondary pages, then built out the entire site. The com­pa­ny grew very quick­ly, and I main­tained the site for them until Novem­ber 2008. At that time, they were ready to turn their site over to Visu­al Data Sys­tems — the com­pa­ny I worked for dur­ing one of my col­lege intern­ships — for fur­ther devel­op­ment and future main­te­nance. Visu­al Data Sys­tems added back-end pro­gram­ming and search func­tions to my orig­i­nal web­site design.

Motorola EM1000R Key Features Video

I was first brought onto the Motoro­la account to work on qual­i­ty con­trol and improve effi­cien­cy of com­mu­ni­ca­tions between the client and design­ers.

For this project, Motoro­la need­ed a small web video to high­light some of the key fea­tures of their EM1000R radios for use on sales sites like Amazon.com. It was impor­tant to show con­sumers where to find the but­tons for these key fea­tures and include audio for weath­er and alerts. I cre­at­ed a detailed sto­ry­board for the video includ­ing direc­tions on how each ele­ment should move in and out of the frame, then I direct­ed our intern at Fin­ished Art, Inc. as he put togeth­er the final ani­mat­ed piece.

Coca-Cola Live Positively Video

Fin­ished Art was mov­ing in the direc­tion of adding video and motion graph­ics to their list of ser­vices, so they need­ed to cre­ate a motion reel to present to poten­tial clients. They want­ed all dif­fer­ent styles of videos to present, and I was part­nered with anoth­er design­er in the office to cre­ate a video with a clean, sophis­ti­cat­ed, yet fun feel. Since we would be pre­sent­ing the motion reel to many of our cur­rent clients at Coke, we want­ed to show them what we could do with ele­ments in the Coke Visu­al Iden­ti­ty sys­tem. We worked togeth­er to cre­ate a sto­ry­board with tran­si­tions between the dif­fer­ent Coca-Cola live pos­i­tive­ly icons, then I ani­mat­ed the ele­ments in Flash. The final video was HD qual­i­ty, sized to fit a widescreen TV.
