For this new blog, posingaspros I needed to put together a great header, and minimalist theme.

Egginabox.com is a newly-conceived charity dedicated to recycling the ubiquitous unused chinese takeout rice, and making meals for those who would otherwise go hungry–simply by adding an egg.

Since the two sisters were used to using wordpress.com to get the word out–I migrated them to a hosted version, and designed a theme complete with:

egg-in-a-box logo,

expandable navigation,

special recipe card design where appropriate,

AND advanced front page excerpt magic.

Take a look at the other page designs: (more…)

Play4Life is a charity located out of New York, with upcoming programs in California, devoted to helping kids create a healthy lifestyle through eating well, and most importantly–play!

Tanya, the brains behind Play4Life, wanted to come up with an easy-to-update content management system so that the site would never be outdated.  This is a very pro-active charity!

I came up with a Wordpress solution including customized photo software, a flash intro and header with great photos from their recent events.

There’s also a bit of illustration thrown in for good measure on the intro page.

FEATURES:

Customized Wordpress as a CMS for pictures and text.  Expandable navigation in case of changing programs.

Flash intro and header with pictures of healthy foods and some of the events.

Donate button via paypal.

The One Story redesign focused on making a popular, well-worn website more usable. Instead of having to click on a parent-level category to see the interior navigation options, I decided to use drop down menus; the site sections were reorganized for maximum impact on the pages most valued by OS as well.

Following One Story’s clean and simple aesthetic, I aimed to mimize the art to sidebar elements and a few images of the One Story issue itself. In a perfect world, my excerpts from different site sections (recent issue on non-homepage, blog excerpts, events,) would be helping to unclutter the sidebar, but a designer can’t get everything she wants…

Rockmelon required a total blog overhaul: banner, CSS, and even a one-line drawing (my daily warm up this summer) thrown into the mix.

Just about the Best Site Ever.

(The site concept is a pdf-like layer of text and imagery, which the user can upload themself, or otherwise is randomly generated for you.   My favorite part about this site is the beautiful navigation bar.  Even though it is in general, not the most gracefully degradable site, if I had lots of time or thousands of dollars, there are so many features on the burner for this zine of the future!)
