World of Good Development Organization Website

World of Good Development Organization is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on building strategies to substantially improve economic and social conditions for millions of women and adolescent girls in the developing world living on less than $2 a day.

My first approach for the World of Good website was much more graphical and less content focused, but as I continued working on this project I realized how much content was going to be provided. I then redesigned with content and usability in mind. During that time it became clear a a management system was going to be needed. I choose the WordPress for its easy of use to manage content for both me and the client.

Earth Hour 2009 – Driving Home (Part II)

After shooting a set of rather unimpressive photos of San Francisco during Earth Hour 2009, I thought I would take a set of photos while driving home. (No I wasn’t actually looking through the viewfinder while driving) When I got home I was overwhlemed with a couple hundred photos, mostly garbadge, but above are the few that I liked.

This is a set of photos I took during earth hour 2009. They were taken from the Berkeley hills between 8:30pm-9pm in roughly 4 minute increments. You can see the lights on the spans of the Bay Bridge turning off in the first few photos. Overall though I was somewhat unimpressed…The photos I saw online of other big cities during earth hour seemed to have more noticeable results.

Artist at Play Studio Website

Artist at Play Studio’s website is a clean and colorful site built on the WordPress platform. It contains a blog section and various galleries both of art and of student work, all created with flexibility and user control kept in mind. Have a look at the logo as well, which can be found in the Identity section of my portfolio.

After playing with a few different concepts I came up with the “masked scribbles” look. Originally the scribbles had no direction, but it felt too abstract so I brought out my tablet and made the paths more uniform. I feel it gives the logo more of a flow. You can see how the paths go from top left and then curve around to bottom right. Once the logo was completed, I moved on and started to work on the Artist at Play Studio Website
