Retro Collage: New York

This project served as a great opportunity to step out of corporate visual bounds into a whimsical and artistic realm. The concept behind the art involved appealing to eccentric, artistic-type New Yorkers who tend to favor these particular communities covered by the agent.

Some things I tried to consider: What would their apartment look like? What kinds of things do they like & do (that could be represented by the things found around their apartment?) What would somewhere they would want to live look like? What do they appreciate visually, aesthetically, texturally?

The clients visual direction included: use of black & white photography, historical images, accents of color (pink), flowers, and butterflies.

These are just a few of the things I was able to incorporate. Other aspects involved visual references to fashion, architectural details, the use of the I <3 NEW YORK icon, and representing the notion that vintage things are beautiful as demonstrated through the style of objects chosen & textures applied.

Riverwalk Pizzeria Web Relaunch

This client contacted me with an urgent deadline to build and code a pre-existing Adobe Photoshop design. Time estimated was 6 hours and after a few revisions, the final product was delivered in 8 hours and $25 below the client’s bottom-line budget for this phase of their web development.

Visit the live site.

If you haven’t had a chance to try their pizza, stop in the next time you’re visiting downtown Sanford. I am sure you won’t be disappointed having enjoyed a delicious Calzone from there this very afternoon.
