Twitter’s new home page
When I talk to people outside of the interactive business world about Twitter, most people don’t get it. “Why would I want to know what Thom ate for lunch?” they ask. For those who haven’t been paying attention, Twitter is a micro-blogging system which allows people to say something to the world in short “tweets”. People [...]
Freightliner Trucks Homepage Redux
In the last quarter of 2008, I was tasked with redesigning the home page of one of our clients, Freightliner Trucks. The original design of FLT is from a few years back, and we have been slowly updating areas of the site to current standards and practices since then. A wider layout, better navigation, stronger [...]

POPART.COM >> A Design Evolution: part 1
In late 2008 I was tasked with leading the design team on a very important project, www.popart.com. Our current website was a bit dated, didn’t reflect our brand, and wasn’t sending the right message. This was to be a total team effort, with collaboration happening at every step of the design process. The first exercise, [...]
Political Design.. A Look Back
Well, its finaly here. Election day has come again and its time for you to go out and cast your vote. I thought it would be fun to take a look at how design has influenced the political arena over the years. Some of these are real classics. Bonus points if you can find the Goldwater [...]
