When it comes to WordPress based website design, development and content management, only a handful can do it as well as Ponticlaro. Can’t say much about this one yet, but it if you ever developed for WordPress, it will make your life much easier.

Hunter Cross and The Strays are headed back to New York, this time with Brian Birdwell. I’ve been looking for an excuse to make use of Jacob Nylund’s Layercake typeface, and what better way than to have it on the walls of East Village.

Multi-talented artist and musician Hunter Cross needed a poster design for his new show titled New Works, New Yorks. Taking “New York State of Mind” more literally than Billy Joel, I made these for Hunter.

Thanks for the add. Hunter Cross and The Strays have been getting noticed on MySpace for their music and now they grace fellow MySpacers’ comment boxes with their own banging animation.

The concept was designed to appeal to college students who could earn iTunes downloads as a form of checking account interest. To battle short attention spans, we allowed for the user to “paint” with dynamically generate streams of animation themed around the genre of music they chose.

Created for the unveiling of CheckingFinder during the 2008 Finnovate Startup conference. CheckingFinder went on to win “Best of Show” and has since been covered by The Wall Street Journal, MSNBC.com, and Yahoo! Finance.

As the leading provider of Web-based financial services, Online Resources Corporation serves 2700 financial institutions. At FIRST ROI we established a working relationship with them by developing this demo module showcasing ways of integrating our marketing strategies with online banking.

The 78744 Youth of Promise Initiative wanted a website that set them apart from the laundry list of links that usually make up the face of city-sanctioned organizations. Working together we developed a place where they could interact with students and their parents, and easily feature information about after school programs and upcoming events.

On a visit at the Youth of Promise Initiative office I ran into some kids who were spending their Saturday cleaning up graffiti on the East Side of Austin, it’s what happens when you get caught. They saw these and liked them, instant street cred.

Keeping in line with the look and feel of the Youth of Promise website and brochure, the Collaborative Committee had their own printed material to help them attract new members.

I met Christa’s twin sister, Cari in my first studio class in college. They’re both equally amazing and when somebody’s work is that good, you give it as much room on the screen as possible. Buy her art before she blows up, then go see Belaire.

A piece out of a series of printed collateral for the Austin based real estate company, including postcards, mailers and investor handouts.
