This project was too much fun. It was a whirlwind development effort; I worked in a team of 4 and we turned it around in a week.
One City is a nonprofit foundation that provides food for needy families in Jersey City. I designed their logo as well as their website, and developed the site in WordPress so that the client could easily update it.
Brand messages are pervasive in contemporary culture and create a language of symbols and ideas attached to commodities. Often in the public sphere, our belongings signify our identity more than words, but this product-based communication is only tacitly understood.
‘Branded!’ is a satirical web application that subverts this “semiotics of stuff.” Ostensibly backed by the expertise of “consumerologists,” it asks the user questions about his/her personal tastes and consumption habits. The user is then “branded” with a personal barcode depicting the ratio of stereotypes (e.g. yuppie, hipster, etc.) present in her consumer personality. She is also labeled with a sarcastic description of her perceived identity and given product suggestions based on her taste.
This site for the Parsons Fashion Benefit is a collaboration between RGA and five Parsons students (myself included). My personal contribution was to design and code the video player; all the work came together really well and I’m pleased with our result.
La Maison de Colette was a fun and whimsical website I at Parsons made for my cat, Colette. I enjoyed making the illustrations, and built the site in a combination of flash, css, and html.
This was a version of my portfolio site I authored in Flash (AS2). I abandoned it for a simpler and more robust interface, but I like this piece as an experimental navigational structure. It’s built around the principles of the Golden Ratio, or Phi. Visit Site
