Template sites are great for getting your business up and running, but it can be hard to customize them for the look you want. My custom graphics ensure the website communicates your brand. I also make graphics for other web applications, including Android apps and E-learning courses.
The Town of Devon created a mobile Android app that allowed residents to submit service requests for issues like potholes or fallen trees. I made a collection of icons and splash graphics to give the app some polish and support the Town of Devon look and feel.
Travel writer Alouise Dittrick had a powerful WordPress site for her blog, Take Me to the World. However, it was a blank canvas in need of some interesting visuals. She brought me in to help style her website and make graphics that supported the blog’s unique angle: helping travellers experience performing arts around the world.
Alouise was drawn to a vintage look, and I liked how the marketing designs for airlines in the 50s and 60s had a dramatic flair to them — so I geared the visuals toward retro travel posters. The site banner is a photo composite using elements of travel posters, with a theatre twist. I also made a simple logo for a blog, featuring a ticket stub with text in an airline-esque font.
Sugar Swing is Edmonton’s most popular swing dance school and community. When their website needed an upgrade, I had the job of creating the design, which was passed off to a talented programmer to convert into a functioning website. The company’s website is meant to be flashy and fun, and above all communicate how accessible the dance is.
The home page features two feeds – an events calendar plus the company Facebook feed – to help pull visitors into the community itself and showcase the scene’s nonstop activity. The visuals are a mix of modern and vintage, supporting the idea of how Sugar Swing teaches historic dances (Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa) in an up-to-date context.
