This was the logo I created for the 6th Winona Zombie Crawl’s website and facebook page which are the only forms of promotion for the crawl. I decided to stick with the red, white, and black color scheme that had become synonymous with the Winona Zombie Crawl…why change a good thing? This year’s theme was “feast of the beast”…a tag I came up with because it was, in fact, the sixth zombie crawl in Winona and 6 is the number of the beast.
I was brought back for another year of doing the Mid West Music Fest website and poster. I was very excited as it was the second year and was slated to be an even bigger success than the year before. I was definitely feeling the pressure to come through with an awesome design and functional website. After throwing ideas back and forth with Mid West Music Fest founder Sam Brown we came to an agreement on the look and feel and the rest…well…you’re looking at it. As far as the turnout for the festival…I’m pretty sure they more than doubled the attendance from the year before.

I was very excited and more than willing to design and create this website for Mid West Music Fest. I live in Rochester, MN now, but I started out playing music in the Winona scene and have been for years and my band is playing this year’s festival. Sam Brown, director of MWMF, has done an outstanding job rallying troops to volunteer for this lofty undertaking and getting the backing of the city of Winona, MN for this first-time festival taking place July 30-31. Sam wanted a website with a user-friendly interface that would allow him to update pages himself with little knowledge of html but that would still look professional and sleek. I bet you can guess what platform I used to make this happen…yup…another wordpress blog site customized to the client…thank God for wordpress. Another usefull feature is Sam can create different users,

So, a couple of my good friends were getting married and they wanted me to design their wedding invitations and RSVP cards. I did a a parking pass and this website for them as well. The thing is though…Laura really likes cats. I mean, a lot of people like cats and kittens and cute things like that, but Laura’s liking of them borderlines on obsession. My girlfriend Megan also contributed to this one because she had done some cat sketches that Laura really liked, so I incorporated some of Megan’s sketches into the design of the actual wedding invitation and website. The site features a blog style so they can log in and update you about the goings on of their wedding and allows them to post pictures themselves. It also features an online RSVP section where you can choose your party’s name from a drop-down menu list and

Since my post seems to be appearing pretty high in the google standings when you’re searching Rod Hansen…let me say that this post and my opinions are in no way related to Rod Hansen or the Rod Hansen for Sheriff campaign. If you are wondering who Rod Hansen even is, he is a guy running for Sheriff in Winona County of Minnesota. He needed a good website and facebook campaign to win this one. Good thing he knew me, because I provided him with both of these things. So, if you’re in Winona County…vote Rod Hansen…he’s the best guy for the job and he’s obviously got the best website.

I designed this site for the midwest Work Out World! chain. WOW! is a national chain, but they recently opened up a location in the Rochester, MN area where I currently live and they plan to open another Rochester location soon. I created a bright, vibrant and energetic look for the website because, it is in fact, a workout center. It’s still a work in progress and they tell me they will be incorporating credit cards for online memberships soon. I got a free membership out of the deal too. I’m on a computer most of the day, so maybe I should get down there sometime…for my health…and my boyish figure.

This was a re-design of Dale Gagne Presents Wrestling Superstars Live. Dale promotes AWA wrestling…you know…they brought us such greats as Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair…heard of ‘em? I wanted to do a good job on this one. Dale threatened to suplex me if he wasn’t satisfied with the results. I told him I’m a designer, not a fighter.

Chippewa River Industries provides packaging, assembly and other services to businesses while providing vocational programs for individuals with disabilities. That’s a good thing, so I was happy to be working for these guys. I re-designed their site to be cleaner, more professional, and to clearly illustrate exactly what it is they do. They also wanted to be able to edit website content on their own, like adding pictures or text to a page without having me around and programmed the navigation bar in way where they could easily add new links in it without having to be too tech savvy . I also designed the site as a wordpress so they can easily edit their own content from an admin panel, so if see you something you don’t like here I’m blaming them…just kidding…but seriously.

This is the future website/blog for Local One Music. It’s a wordpress website/website. This one was a re-design for an existent site, but the client, John Miller, wanted a more personalized, less generic template for his local music blog. I had a lot of fun with this one and can’t wait to get it up and running.

This is a myspace design I did for my band My Private Eye. These are fun to do because they are quick and painless when you don’t have to deal with a whole entire website. Although, when you want your myspace to stand out from the rest, a cool and catchy design is key. Some of the imagery and color choices reflect what I feel to be the mood of the music and lyrical content of the My Private Eye songs.
