what i can do
if you name it and it’s pretty, odds are i can do it and do it well. i pride myself in producing nothing less than the best possible for all clients and projects i attempt.
web
i offer web design, web development, site redesigns, search engine optimization, and other webby goodness (just ask). i can produce for you a fully functional website with an easy-to-use backend that allows you to take control of your own website. i believe that powerful development and design speaks volumes more than gouging the client for subpar work. i am extremely well-versed in XHTML and CSS. i am also knowledgeable about PHP and Javascript, and am always learning more. i am more than capable in Flash and Actionscript, though i prefer Flash’s use being limited in the web world – it has its place, and due to its bulky and hard-to-use nature should not be used anywhere but its place. i am a usability-based web developer. those with disabilities or low computer knowledge are given careful consideration in all my projects. all my developments are fully validated and W3C compliant, and will be fully functional in whatever browsers are requested (IE6, IE7, Firefox, and Safari are standard for testing).
illustration
children’s books, paintings, home decorations, product design, interior rethinking, i pay careful attention and properly research my target audience before attempting any project. client satisfaction is key.
print design
logos, branding and company identities, poster design, CD covers, brochures, t-shirts, stationery… yeah. i do that.
photography
i can take your photos and remove blemishes, fix tears, add people (and remove, if you so desire, heh), colour correct, colourize, and do general retouching. repairing old photographs? not a problem. i can help photograph small-scale projects. you’ll be receiving high-quality work, but as my equipment is currently limited, i feel i will offer only as much as i feel comfortable providing. i also have several photographers on hand to reference you to if i feel i’m inappropriate for your project.
animation
motion graphics, animated commercials, short animated films, dvd interfaces, animated characters, background designs, and more – i can produce it with Adobe After Effects revving me up.
typography
i can produce for you custom typography, typesetting, and fonts. see print design for more of what I can do. a note: i will not use the following fonts in any of your projects: Comic Sans, Papyrus, Bank Gothic, Sand, Zapfino, Lithos, Impact, Kristen ITC, Jokerman. due to personal insistence and respect for the greater design community, these fonts have come to appear to me as amateur and poorly designed (with all due respect to their individual designers). if you insist on using them, we can either discuss a redesign or compromise, or recommend someone elsewhere to work with. i’m adamant about good design. i’d rather do the design world justice than get paid for low-quality and amateur work.
i pride myself on professionalism and quality. expect nothing but the best.
