This is a experimental gaming news site powered by the CMS WordPress that loads in posts dynamically. It has several random articles and was a learning experience for me. I made this site because I was interested in learning how to use content management systems. So I decided to read up on WordPress and how it works so I could make my own custom theme. While creating this site, I used PHP, jQuery, and lots of CSS.

The site Artemis Guitars is a site that sells guitars that were manufactured with only renewable resources. It's a clean and serious design with easy to use navigation. This is an early site I created to test my abilities with XHTML and CSS. The goal of the site was to get us to make it fully functional. I had to create all of the content such as text and images for the site. Designing this site taught me how to organize a site before creating it.

illustrative
These photos tell two stories about one person. The joy of his first love and the pain that came after she was gone. The photos are edited to have a surreal look to make them seem more like memories. These photos assignment illustrate the emotions of a song's lyrics. The song I chose was Soco Amaretto Lime which is a nostalgic and tragic song.

These are portrait pictures of Cody Brutlag and Tracy Brunsman. Cody wanted his images to look edgy and mysterious. Tracy was my assistant, and to practice for it I took some photos of her as well. I was assigned to take photos of a Communication major for their headshots. Cody was fun to work with and was willing to try unique ideas.

These photos are abstract depictions of everyday things in an usual way. Each is actually something very plain and mundane, but is viewed from an interesting point of view. These photos tried to take normal household objects and make them more intriguing or unrecognizable. The second image is a CD but it is shot to look more like a bird or nymph.
