Emrg-n-see 2011 Music and Art Festival – Web Design

Emrg-n-see – Portland, OR – 2011
Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe ImageReady, HTML, CSS, PHP and WordPress

The website design for Emrg-n-see was based off a poster design by WKYD ( http://thewkyd.com ). The poster featured a sphere shaped object which appears in this design directly behind the logo. The website design also features the diagonal group of lines behind the sphere. I don’t get too many chances to work with other designers, I enjoyed the process of building the festival identity with W. This is my fourth year contributing to the festival’s marketing department. In previous years, the festival was located on rural land and guests camped for 3-4 days. The material from past years always featured crystals in the graphics. This year, the festival would take place in Portland. I saw the opportunity to slice a photo of downtown Portland in such a way, so the river looked like crystals. The site has some fun roll-over images (I use the sprite technique to reduce download time). Emerge online and see for yourself: http://2011.emrgnsee.com/

Emrgnsee – Web Design (using some elements created by another designer: W El Rey)

Emrgnsee – Portland, OR – 2010
Wordpress, HTML, CSS, PHP, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator

I was part of a 4 person team that worked on this website. Lucky for me, Matt Dressmon (http://euphoriuhh.com/) did a large amount of the data entry that I had done the previous year. The original design had most of the elements here, but I chipped in the space background (thanks to my work with ufotv.com, I am now the go-to guy for all things galactic.) The background actually has multiple space images layered together. The actual site is quite large, hosting information on workshops, live artists, food carts, vendors and the festival’s music. Besides contributing my graphic and coding skills to the site, I also did a large amount of data entry into the wordpress control panel. The site is located here: http://2010.emrgnsee.com/

Emrgnsee – Flier Design (using some elements created by another designer: W El Rey)

Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop

Although I did not design this entire flier, it’s a good example of how well I work with other designer’s styles. I took the mountain, crystals, logo and background from the emrgnsee.com website. The left-side frame was created with elements from the website as well.
