A new service is available for 2009, I am now able to install and customize an open source application called Prestashop. It comes with a PayPal gateway, great web stats and some sharp effects. The admin control panel is completely customizable, so if you want the information architecture rearranged you can spend 10 minutes on the site map. Same goes for the storefront, too. I’ve tried eCommerce, Zen Cart, Magento and a number of other free applications but this is the best by far. Thanks Prestashop!

Take a look at my paintings, too! I now have a way to sell my artwork over the web. So far, everything in my store comes with free shipping. Check back often as I offer digital prints of past work, cafepress tees, stickers and my first comic book.


UFOTV - 2009 Catalog Design

Posted on Dec17 2008
UFOTV - Catalog cover

I was hired to design and layout a full-color catalog for UFOTV’s entire catalog. The 32-page catalog featured a number of new releases that needed to be incorporated into the cover. Temples, satallite dishes, DNA, totem poles, crop circles and a UFO (of course) were balanced together in formations of triangles. This project took about three weeks to complete and can be downloaded here (http://www/ufotv.com/catalog.pdf).

UFOTV DVD’s

Posted on Dec17 2008
UFOTV - Wake Up Call

My font, Sidhe, was used in this DVD’s logo. Elements from NASA’s image gallery were dramaticly modified to make this image. I also purchased and modified an image of the UFO. I’m very pleased with the colors and lighting effects on this piece.

UFOTV - Approaching The Sacred

This DVD cover has a number of elements that interact with each other. For the logo, I used a font I designed (Sidhe) which incorporates a circle on each letter. The circle is repeated below in a geometric shape similar to a crop circle. Capturing all this at the bottom is a satillite dish in a wheat field.


Helping Hands

Helping Hands

This webpage represents a group of teenagers on the coast of Oregon who participate in activities that benefit their community. The kids designed their own logo, Gray’s Web Design wrote the code and content, and I designed the graphics for this webpage. The kids wanted a trendy look with red, blue and yellow graphics and I presented them this. They loved it.

Good Company Games

Good Company Games

I had previously illustrated and designed the cover of this company’s premier board game, Cornerstone. The website was designed around the elements used in the package design and runs off a content management system. The entire site was installed, designed and hand-coded by myself and is WC3 valid. Good Company Games is located here: www.goodcompanygames.com.

Toby had already been using a similar shape that was made of mother of pearl and then embedded on the headstock of his custom guitars. I redrew the shape and gave it color and texture to match the actual image on the guitar. The shape represents the letters “P” and “L”.

This is a very basic content management site. The entire site was installed, designed and hand-coded by myself and is WC3 valid. Presnell Lutherie is located here: www.presnelllutherie.com.

In planning my first direct mailing, I have worked up a number of postcard ideas.  This did not make the cut, but I feel it works nice enough for my portfolio.

Columbiana!

Posted on Aug13 2008
David Shapiro

I just finished this web site for an author in Portland, Oregon. David’s book, Columbiana, needed a web presence and a means for readers to purchase the book. The site uses a content manager and a PayPal gateway. The site also uses a unique plug in that pulls David’s blog from his Tribe webpage and displays the links in the navigation. The book contained black and white colored images which were used to make the graphics of the site. Staying with the theme of the book, the entire site is done in black and white. Take a look at Columbiana!.

RSS Links

Posted on Jul18 2008

Do you visit a number of web pages for information? Does it also relate to your web page? If so, you should think about offering posts from those sites on your website with RSS feeds. An RSS feed can add links and text directly to your site. Plus, it updates itself automatically! In fact, this post is an RSS feed found on my homepage and on the admin panel of all my client’s web pages. It’s a new way I can keep everyone up to date with new services that I can provide. If this sounds interesting to you, give me a call or send me an email and I will be happy to explain it more. Cheers!
