The website for K&C Classic Homes is finally live! This was a joint effort between Baker One Design and myself. Baker One Design did the graphics, and art direction, while I did the Flash and website code. The website features some jQuery effects, such as navigation drop down, lightbox, and expanding information panels.
Each label includes Vietnamese on one side, and English on the other. The type selection is simply VNI-Times and VNI-Helvetica, a free font. To get the Vietnamese characters to show up on the website was quite an ordeal. The process is as follows:
When I was first asked to come in, and meet with the directors, I just assumed it was a preliminary meeting. Well, as soon as I sat down, they said, “What you got?” After getting over the initial shock of what I was being asked (and glad that I actually had an idea) I walked over to the white board, with marker in hand, and explained in a couple of brief sentences what my idea was.
They loved it.
Now that the project was officially mine, I started getting really excited (which I normally do at the beginning of every project). I was most excited because it wasn’t going to be a typical Photoshop collage; It was going to be something ‘in real life’, that would later be incorporated into the computer. It reminded me of being in the 4th grade, in Art class, when we would get a new assignment: my mind would race in a thousand different directions, and with each thought, my heart would either give its approval or disapproval, to the proposed creative solution.
The point of the project was to give high school students a quick reference guide to all the Tech Prep AAS Degrees that Lone Star College offered. It was to be a poster that would hang in the high school counselor’s office. The student could simply scan the poster to find their area of interest, and then see which LSC Tech Prep AAS Degree they could get for that field.
Some of the items in the collage that I am dying to elaborate on are:
To my dismay, the project was eventually killed, but I leave with you today the remnant below:
… and just for kicks, here is the original photo of the collage.
Need a custom price tag design, but don’t have the Abercrombie & Fitch budget? Simple! Design a business card with rounded corners, and then have a hole punched. You can either hole punch it yourself, or see if the printer can add that service (which we did for the client).
Featured here is an annual report design we did for Cenikor, back in November of 2009. The Cenikor Foundation specializes in helping people with chronic addictions, and uses a long-term recovery program, lasting 18 to 24 months. The program takes place within a residential Therapeutic Community environment using peer influence and clinical counseling.

Initial thoughts on CS4:
So after finally upgrading to CS4, CS5 is rumored to be released next month. Maybe we’ll skip that version …
We are currently working with Byrne Medical to create trade show graphics for SGNA. We would love to post some in-progress pics, but then that would ruin the surprise! =)
Hoa Da Herbal Medicines is up and running with their new e-commerce site, complimented by their new product labels and marketing material. Creating all their new branding material was a lot of work, but very rewarding.
Finished a very fun business card project for T&M Illusions. This took several hours (10+) to accomplish, because each rhinestone was strategically placed to create the outline effect.
