Fairfield University’s radio station, WVOF, wanted a way
for their DJs and staff to always know the schedule and be
able to keep track of their upcoming events. They also, of
course, wanted a reason to buy everyone an iPhone. And
so this app was born! It has grown to manage all of the
internal goings-on of the radio station.

Items were photographed digitally and brought into

create the effects that you see here. Collage composition

Simple, clean, and elegant. Bill’s site reflects his
photography. The Composition was created in Photoshop.
Dreamweaver assembled the html.
The HughesStudio.com site was a designers dream come
true. Bill’s photography is beautiful and simply a joy to
work with. I had the chance to get to know Bill’s style and
create a site that complimented it perfectly. The site was
also featured in Shutterbug Magazine (4/o3)

Retail Optimization, Inc., has a very cool and very unique
product. They make software that optimizes retail shelf
spacing. Of course, the technology is hugely complex. The
strategy here was to streamline their product into a design
where their information is compressed and digestible, yet

Because of Sara’s unique style and the tendency of her
work to span multiple continents within one project,
this portfolio site presented somewhat of a navigational

each place traveled within the project.

AntiGame prides themselves on the ability to create a
gaming experience that is unlike anything else out there.
This game, “Horror,” plays itself out in true horror movie
style, with the exception that the players determine the
character’s fate. AntiGame needed visuals for this project
that screamed (quite literally), “Like classic horror movies?
You’ll love this game!” Thus, the cover for “Horror” was
born... or did it rise from the dead?
