Latvian Radio Show Poster

admin — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:28:40 +0000

Made this as a quick exercise at lunch. Upcoming show poster for my other band, Latvian Radio.

Borrows elements and styles from another poster I saw recently. I chalked this up as one of things where its ok to copy someone else’s style for the sake of learning the process.

Aluminar Event Minisite

admin — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 04:35:23 +0000

OTC Daihen recently held its ‘Aluminar’- it’s apt named event to promote their aluminum welding technology. The background was largely industrial and educational, so we put together an online presentation to promote the technology. Due to budget constraints, we couldn’t go full-on animation with this one, but the presentation slides are still fun to zip around.

The jQuery carousel plugin called “scrollTo” was used for the slide movement, CSS drop-shadows and rounded rectangles were used to create the popped out look. jQuery was used on the bottom navigation as well.

I recently completed a new theme for the Daihen site. This was a custom html theme designed by my friend Scott Borchert. Mix of HTML, jQuery for the navigation menu, and Flash animated galleries and hero features.

NYU School of Social Work – 50th Anniversary Celebration

admin — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 03:26:35 +0000

The NYU School of Social Work was my first completely custom theme, written from scratch, in WordPress. I took our dear friend Kubrick (the theme!), stripped him down, and painted him a wicked shade of purple. This project taught me how Wordpress works on the backend, as well as familarize me with jquery form plugins (submit an alumni story, contact form). We also found a great plugin to manage the more than 30 smaller events that were held leading up to the grand party of them all — the big 50th Anniversary Celebration.

Fresh from the Panya – Best of 2011 vol 1

admin — Wed, 04 May 2011 18:40:19 +0000

Back around the end of January, I found myself pouring through the masses of “Best of 2010″ lists, trying to find all the good cuts I missed that year. It’s a tricky thing – being presented with seemingly endless lists of what was, at one point in the previous year, considered “hot”. This is funny, because most of it’s still crap. But even still, there’s plenty of good things I stumbled across, and it made me realize how I should really be on top of this.

Thus, a new concept: Best of 2011, starting in February. Why not, right?

I started compiling a list of new songs from various music blogs and youtube clips, ripping the music as needed, and organizing it into sets. Just after I completed the first set, I discovered the excellent mixcloud.com, which came across as an excellent vehicle to deliver the package. The catch here was that I had to mix everything into a single set to avoid copyright violations. I decided to moderate it a bit; made the mistake of starting it late one Saturday night, trying to keep it chill. I pump up the tension a bit towards the end, and moving forward I want to keep that intensity for future sets.

So presented here finally, here’s Fresh from the Panya – Best of 2011 vol 1. Special thanks to the excellent illustration by the talented Jonathan Kolodner. Spread the good word!
