Qantus wanted to explore new approaches to their existing Web designs. In addition to visual design, I was tasked with creating several high-fidelity prototypes to further illustrate the concept. Only an earlier version of the complete interactive prototype still exists and I'm not able to post that here. I am posting a full page preview of the homepage design.

I have designed and developed hundreds of HTML5 Web banners for scores of clients. I possess a wealth of experience with various rich media formats, advertising platforms and ad server requirements. While it's not practical to showcase all of my banner work here, I have added a few examples for consideration.

At Tata Consultancy Services, I was occasionally called upon to create promotional design brochures and presentations for prospective clients, as well as internal associates. I believe strongly in design fundamentals and designed this brochure to help assist junior designers in their understanding of these fundamentals. This particular brochure focused on the work of Dieter Rams, for whom I have immense respect and appreciation.

I was tasked with providing an updated look and feel for a USAA mobile apllication when the client wanted to explore other design options. Additionally, I developed high-fidelity protypes to help demonstrate functionality. The client was very pleased with the result. It is one of many times during the course of my career that I was called upon to provide design direction when previous design executions failed to achieve desired results.

I have worked extensively with AI in the last few years and I am excited about the possibilities presented by these tools. Advanced features allow users to modify executions with greater control. There is an art to achieving satisfactory results via selection and prompt. I know the associated code and nuances.

I'm frequently called upon to design logos for clients or to help assist with branding and identity for various products and services. I generally prefer minimalist approaches to these executions, utilizing classic fonts and typographic treatments. I prefer elegant designs that hold up over time to hipster trends, bouncing balls and cartwheeling clowns. That said, I still seek opportnuites to be clever in the design.

I love opportunities to design cover artwork using a minimalist approach. I have designed several album covers in the course of my career, but I am particularly fond of this execution. I really liked the inclusion of the translucent outer jacket. One benefit of using a more minimal approach is that the work generally seems to defy being placed in a particular time. I enjoyed using AI in the mockup with the blonde model and yes, the two sets of hands are intentional. I may have tried 20 or 30 executions with "real" looking hands, but I still preferred the look of the strange AI artifacts.
