POPZILLA - Background Design
Year: 2009
Client: MTV
Role: Background Designer
The producers of Popzilla chose a photo-montage look for the backgrounds of the show. To create this odd, sometimes jarring look and feel, I composited several photos together to make each background. I added in textures, patterns and 3D models to achieve the odd sense of reality that the director intended.

BACK AT THE BARNYARD - Game Design
Year: 2009
Client: Nickelodeon
Role: Art Director
In an episode of Nickelodeon's "Back at the Barnyard" cartoon, the characters have to decide what to do on a boring day. They decide to pretend that they are giant monsters in a Godzilla-esque black and white film. Nickelodeon asked our team for a game based on this look and feel. As Art Director on this Flash game, I was responsible for the overall visual design. I met with a team of animators and illustrators and directed the game artwork with style guides and comps. While I created GUI, background and game graphics, I approved animation, sound and illustration from the team. I also worked with a programmer to test the game and build the gameplay.

COPING WITH CHEMO - Website Redesign
Year: 2007
Client: Starlight Children's Foundation
Role: Graphic Designer
The Starlight Children's Foundation helps children understand and cope with serious illness. Animax created the "Coping With Chemo" website as a way to help children understand the chemotherapy process. Animators created a series of short animated clips that talk about chemotherapy. In 2007, Starlight decided to update the look and feel of the website. They asked me to give the site a more modern, grunge look that resonated better with their kids. Shortly after the redesign, the site won the 2008 WEBAWARD For Outstanding Achievement in Web Development.
