A client design for ZetaPets.com - I went through a few different approaches on this project, but this concept turned out the be the winner. The logotype provided was just the silhouette of the text, I added all the effects and styling.
This client came to me looking for something dark that looked like plastic to match the theme and style of their products.

Web site redesign for Clark & Mayfield, a company selling stylish laptop bags with international retailers located across North and South America.
This is a fully functional and well polished, Winamp Modern Skin. It was developed by The Skin Consortium, and designed by myself. KrazyPlayer won the 2008 Winamp Freestyle Skinning Contest held by DeviantART, plus it has earned a Daily Deviation and an overwhelming response throughout the skinning and interface community. We are currently working on a new version of the player with more modes and more features. The second release will be far more public than the first. More information about that is coming soon.
This is the third template in the sleekBlack series. I focused more on rounded shapes and advanced lighting methods in this piece.
These interface designs are for a flash mp3 player that is used to sell music online. The client wanted multiple players so I created several varied themes. They are mostly based on a sleek metal technique that I have developed over time.
This was another experimental layout. I wanted to make something orange.
I went to Hawaii in April (2007) and ever since I got back, making a tropical themed web design has been on my mind. This was a very fun design, and it was a great way to learn how to make organic elements thrive in a web design. The live version features an audio track and a simple animation to set the tropical mood. Enjoy.
This was just a concept I came up with that was different from my normal style. I had been creating mostly dark/tech interface designs and this was one of the first clean layouts I made that really inspired me to continue that kind of work.

This is the second attempt at making an all black shape come to life by adding details to the inner frame to create a sleek looking effect. Working on this was very interesting and I learned a lot about Photoshop in the process.

This was the previous version of this web site. It was my first attempt at creating a dynamic portfolio web site that wasn't made in flash. Most of my older work has a lot of flash involved, but because of the obvious compatibility issues with flash, I have recently moved into the XHTML/CSS area of web design. This portfolio site was an experiment, and I liked how much easier it was to work with hybrid web sites.
This was a personal experiment with creating a smooth metallic surface from scratch. I have continued using the technique in this interface in many other designs. I have a strong and fascinating interest in dark/tech interface design, and this was my first attempt at bringing an originally all black shape to life using only gradients, the selection tool, and blending modes.

This is the sixth portfolio website I made, and at the time is was the most advanced site I ever made both graphically and functionally. All the content was dynamic and easy to update, and the entire website loaded fast. I used flash, actionscript, php, html, css, photoshop, after effects, and javascript to make it work the way I envisioned it. It also included a full featured right click menu, advanced mp3/music player, and interactivity and smooth scrolling on all pages. I won multiple awards and recognitions for its advanced look and feel.
