In the Fall Semester of 2011, I redesigned the website for BRAVADO Magazine and performed a full Wordpress implementation for Evan Goodfellow and his staff. The design of the website involved concept development, paper-prototyping, development of HTML, CSS, jQuery, and PHP for Wordpress implementation. The theme BRAVADO now runs on is custom to suit their content. Much thanks to Evan and the crew at BRAVADO.

I was one of a team of Emily Carr faculty and students who rose to the challenge, investigating different technology options for creating an ebook that would reflect Mozilla's core principles. That meant building an ebook that could work on iPads and Android tablets, desktop computers and smartphones, and that could be distributed for free. A simple PDF was one option, but it didn't take advantage of the navigation and multimedia opportunities a tablet could provide. Working with Vancouver-...
I produced: sixteen unique stamps, each of which serves as a tribute to Spiekermann's design principles; a souvenir sheet featuring the principles of ascender, baseline, italic & justification; and a specially designed protective envelope. I began the process by looking at the visual language of Spiekermann himself as represented by companies he has started.

The images taken, typographic selections, colors, rules, etc. are all abstractions of the content written within the articles. Images are placed to challenge our perceptions of space and to illustrate the scope of our current global...
Our class was given the opportunity to 'remix' the ECUAD library guide and request forms. I also took advantage of the opportunity to revisualize the information in the library guide by developing a system of icons. This helped both with collecting information and making the library guide something that communicates information using more than words. I think this demonstrates even the most mundane item can reflect the values of the institution.
Have you ever wanted to say things about your friends that you've always wanted to say? This Summer, I photographed the people I know in Vancouver and wrote their obituaries. I also took the opportunity to properly document the places we hang-out. As I am currently broke, without funding to publish this book, it sits on my hard drive. I'm considering turning the entire series into a well curated website and continue to add Photos of My Friends. Does this sound like a good idea?
