EchoSign JMP “Hot 100” Award Poster
Project Description:24x36 poster created to hang around the office.
EchoSign Homepage “Traffic Surge” Streamlined Fallback Page Designs
Project Description:In case the website received too much traffic we had a couple failover plans in place, such as being able to switch to a revised homepage that was streamlined for lots of traffic. Version 1 removed the animated billboard image slider and didn't include any dynamic JSP so everything was static. In version 2 I also removed all links to internal pages including the billboard image CTA and no login plus the bottom section of the page content was removed. Version 1 HTTP resource requests went from 84 down to 41 and page weight went from ~972K to ~169K. Version 2 went down to 17 HTTP requests and ~88K page weight. Since most traffic doesn’t go through the homepage necessarily but to sub-pages directly, I could also redirect all sub-pages to the version 2 homepage if needed.
EchoSign Homepage Billboard Image Design Examples
Project Description:The look-and-feel for the EchoSign brand was already established by another designer. These are a few examples of the many I either created from scratch or repurposed/updated within the established standards.
EchoSign Conference Booth Lighted Logo Panel Design
Project Description:Created in Adobe Illustrator. Gathering all the latest vector art for the logos and layout them out took a little time, but it'll made sure they look sharp when printed large.
EchoSign AppExchange “Best Of” Award Poster
Project Description:24x36 poster created to hang around the office. There was an earlier version with drop shadows on the medallions similar to the JMP “Hot 100” awards poster badges. I think the client didn't want the drop shadows in the version though.
Direct Marketing Confidential Website Design
Project Description:The DMconfidential.com site evolved from a marketing blog that was purchased and by integrating existing enterprise efforts from other sites which included adding multiple content authors, expanded topic areas including featured content, and integrating with existing promotional efforts and jobs database. After creating a half dozen wireframe layouts, visual design began on the overall look and feel. After about half a dozen visual designs were considered a look was chosen and prototyped before creating a prototype and integrating with a WordPress CMS. After launch adjustments were made to finalize the design and code before handing off to an internal team to manage the site.

Daily Deal Summmit 125×125 Animated Gif Ads – Four Versions
Project Description:These loop forever just for demo purposes. Final version only loops three times.
Project Description:This was a short project for a startup I worked on while in college. Creating the playful gestural illustrations was fun. After creating several of the elements by hand through various analog techniques, I cut them out and pasted-up my favs by hand to create somewhat abstract forms related to beauty, fashion, and cosmetics. Then I shot composites using a stat camera. The stat camera was one of those big cameras that included a long rail, perhaps ten feet, with a swivel mount to place your artwork on and a rotating door leading to a dark room with only a red light and a focus window to view your artwork on before placing a large piece of Agfa or Fuji film for exposure. You could put a magnifying loop on the focus window while cranking a gear about waist heigh to fine tune the distance of your artwork and sharpness (I usually just eyeballed it though). Final presentation was a 24x36 film negative spray-painted metallic gold on the back then mounted on poster board. It looked kinda shiny and slick I thought at the time. Once in the early ’90s I applied for a job at Bijan on Rodeo Drive in L.A. and was called in to interview personally. This is one of the pieces the interviewer walked out of the room with to show to someone I never met before returning and asking to see more. After that I always figured maybe I should save this technique for a potential future project.
