artfa.gs

http://artfa.gs/

So, this site is a URL redirection service like tinyURL or icanhaz.com. I bought the domain and was like "oh, it's short...this might be kinda fun."

Then I sat down and wrote some php for a few hours, did a li'l design, popped a frozen pizza in the oven and called it a day.

Oh yeah there's a silly bookmarklet I added a few months ago. That's cool, right?

My friend Grant built a group direct messaging service for Twitter. I designed and built some templates for him to use. Oh yeah, and I did that sweet logo, too.

He's still working out some kinks, so the launch date has been pushed back (and we've all got day jobs, you know?).

Jeff Click Homes Billboards

Billboard series for the OKC homebuilder I work with. Jeff came up w/ the concept and the wording, I took care of the design.

My mom shot the 3rd picture w/ her phone. Thanks, Mom.

Jeff Click Homes

Jeff & I tag team this site on a regular basis (and we've been doing that for about 3 years). He'll give me a concept for a design or new feature, the two of us will refine it and I'll make it all happen.

Most of the site is managed w/ ExpressionEngine, but I've done a TON of custom development w/ PHP & EE's templating language. The site also uses a few Flash elements (Slideshow Pro, in particular) all well as some trendy JS features.

I guess it won some awards and is, like, the #1 homebuilder web site in the state or something. I dunno, man...I just read RSS feeds and pretend to work.

YOU FAIL THE INTERNET

http://youfail.cc/

Somewhere between a design blog and a resource for/about people who web production.

Future plans include tutorials and interviews with people doing creative work on the web.

It's pretty straightforward...I made it so the blog images automatically resize to 450px, but that's just some css...nothing fancy.

Callupsie

http://callupsie.com/

Site I just finished for my friends' band. All the news and shows are pulled from their feeds on Myspace, so they don't have to do anything extra to maintain the content on the site.

The media player's pretty cool, too. It uses SoundManager 2, which is all kinds of rad.

Action (project manager)

This is a project management app I'm writing for work. My boss didn't really like project mgmt solutions out there, so he gave me a wish list of features and I wrote it. It's designed to update an RSS feed for a given project when a task is completed so that clients can stay informed on the status of their project. (I mean, it does more than that, but that's one of the things...and I wrote it from scratch...so...)

This was originally intended as a management application for a homebuilding company, but we decided to keep things open-ended so we can use it for other projects.

Action is still under (very slow) development. Future versions will be more visually streamlined (not that I'm ashamed of this...I've just got more tricks up my sleeve).

Jeff Click Homes street signage

problem
Homebuilder's model home located at one entrance of neighborhood w/ great exposure. Secondary neighborhood entrance provides no exposure for homebuilder.

no-brainer solution
A series of signs starting at rear entrance leading to Model Home.

what did jonathan do?
He drank a lot of coffee, sat at his desk and brilliantly conceived the playful copy used for the signs...then he laid it all out in Photoshop to his boss' specifications.

Oh yeah, and those arrows...you like that bendy arrow on the last sign? Yeah, he did that, too.

Buddyhead Contests programming

http://buddyhead.com/contests/

Nothing big...just wrote some PHP scripts that handle contest entries and mailing list subscriptions. No design or any kind of code.

Jeff Click Homes (iPhone version)

http://iphone.jeffclickhomes.com/

A scaled-down version of a homebuilder's existing web site designed for quick access to home, plan and community information. Bonus points for using data created/managed w/ ExpressionEngine on a subdomain not running EE. Just PHP and SQL queries, my friend.

I also designed an ad block for the front page of the existing web site promoting the new iPhone-specific version of the site. Oh, and I wrote all the copy, too.

Jeff Click Homes web banner ad

clickit! see it in action!

For the 2007 Parade of Homes internet ad campaign. I don't really think it's all that great, but I put it here to show that I can do stuff with Flash even though I think it's boring and hate 96% of anything ever done with Flash.

Defy The Trends

http://defythetrends.com/

Small "viral" site designed to match local print/tv campaign. Plays videos from the association's YouTube channel and displays syndicated content from a couple of related blogs.

COHBA Banquet RSVP mini site

http://cohba.org/rsvp_old.php

Simple temporary RSVP site for the Central Oklahoma Homebuilders Association's Annual Christmas Party. Designed to match the print invitations (so I can't take credit for the trendy swirly gradient at the top). Collects registration info in a database, generates confirmation email to registrant and registration email to COHBA staff.

Christmas In The Chapel

My friend Kellee asked me to do the artwork for his church's Christmas album, so I broke out my Wacom tablet and went to town....by drawing a town. Bonus points for doing a matching flyer.

DestroyerDestroyer

Nothing big...at all. I made this graphic for my friends' band's myspace page a long time ago. We were talking about making a t-shirt, then they broke up. Wouldn't this be cool on a shirt, though?

Arpsichord (iPhone app concept)

Concept + wireframes for an iPhone I'm planning on writing. (It's a cross between an omnichord and arpeggiator, in case you're curious)

This is what I want to spend more time doing...if only I had more time to play w/ obj c.

misc design-related

A few things I did when I was bored. They're mostly ideas I'm going to use for prints sometime this year...whenever I get the time to start putting that project together.
