The Mighty Moustache Site
Adam Rozenhart, a local Twitter celebrity in Edmonton participated in the Movember charity drive in 2010 and 2011. Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health. To help Adam get more donations and increase his exposure, I created a interactive poster to act as a landing page for his donation page.
If you want to know more about Adam, you can find him on Twitter
For this project Adobe Illustrator was used to create the images for the site's interface. The site was built in Adobe Flash using Actionscript 3.0.
This project is no longer active online as Movember has passed for this year.
Rod Elliott Racing Site
An amateur race car team with a lime green 1970 Dodge Barracuda, Rod Elliott Racing required a site that was easy to update. With races every second weekend in the summer, large and frequent updates to the picture galleries were a must. To accomplish this, 'rodelliottracing.com' was built using the CMS Wordpress, with a custom content uploader to handle large uploads.
Wanting something that would stand out from competitors, this site was styled to look more like a show car site rather then a racing site. Sleek lines and professional quality photos were utilized to create the feel of nostalgic elegance through-out the site.
This site is currently offline for the season.
Rod Elliott Racing Identity
An amateur race car team with a lime green 1970 Dodge Barracuda, Rod Elliott Racing required a logo that showcased the car as well as had a nostalgic feel to it. Using a retro style of illustration the car was created between the letters to give the sense of motion to it.
Slimer, a nickname given to the car in reference to the iconic movie Ghost Busters, was used to inspire 2 posters used as promotional items for the race team. These images were used on the back of driver signature cards and for full sized posters handed out to fans. A combination of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop was used to complete this project.
Learn Alberta Prospective's
Working under the direction of 1SIX1 Media Ltd, these illustrations were created for a flash animation that was being created for Learn Alberta for their new initiative to help Edmonton Public school teachers deliver their Aboriginal studies curriculum.
For this project it was important that all of the illustrations had a distinctly Aboriginal feel to them. Working under Freida Gladue of 1SIX1 Media Ltd the illustrations were first sketched out on paper and then built in vector format in Adobe Illustrator styled to be a silhouette creating the illusion of shadow puppets being projected onto a dried hide.
Learn Alberta 12 Topics
Working under the direction of 1SIX1 Media Ltd, a GUI for a flash site that was created for Learn Alberta for their new initiative to help Edmonton Public school teachers deliver their Aboriginal studies curriculum.
This GUI was required to have a distinctly Aboriginal feel to it. Working under Freida Gladue of 1SIX1 Media Ltd this GUI was created using Adobe Photoshop and contained well over 10,000 individual layers. This project also included the creation of a style guide for the developers who were coding the site that included detailed instructions on how build the site to the GUI's specifications.

Guru Digital Arts Assorted Marketing
Guru, a college in Edmonton needed marketing and print materials for various events held within the school for staff and students. Each event has a different theme and branding allowing for a constant mix of creative and innovative design.
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe InDesign were used to create these various print materials.
Guru Digital Arts Game Program Marketing
Guru, a college in Edmonton needed marketing for a new program they were launching that offered Interaction Design and Game Level Development courses. They needed something that worked with their pre-existing branding but also had a "gamer" feel to it.
By using Adobe Photoshop to edit and enhance the photography used in the postcard, Bus ad and LRT poster, the theme of geek chic was carried through-out the marketing. Adobe InDesign was used to execute the layout and typography for all of the materials.
Guru Digital Arts Gala Guru 2010
A celebration of their anniversary as a graphic design and arts school in Edmonton, the Guru Gala put on by Guru Digital Arts School, was a large event in Edmonton's art scene. Their 2010 theme of "Mad Men" was carried onto the site through the use of silhouettes and bold solid colors and shapes.
This site required many interactive features to be integrated into it. To accomplish this 'gurugala.org' was built using the CMS Wordpress, and had integrated features from sites such as Twitter and Flickr built into it.
This project is no longer live as the event has passed.

Exploding Barrel Site
The site 'exploding-barrel.com' was created as the portfolio for freelance game writer and communications specialist Michael Rousseau. Exploding Barrel was chosen as a reference to the exploding barrels found in most video games. The site is built on the content management system Drupal so that Michael could easily update the content himself as he took on more clients.
Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop were used to create the images for the site's interface. The site was built in Adobe Dreamweaver using Standard Compliant HTML and CSS and JavaScript.
