I’ve worked with Scott in the past and so was psyched when he asked me to redo his site, all in Wordpress, so that he could maintain it himself.
I started off by doing a few minimal, black/white drafts, but Scott decided he wanted to play it close to his previous design, with a nicer logo for his name, and some simplification of the major pages.
For this new blog, posingaspros I needed to put together a great header, and minimalist theme.
Recently I was contacted by Atom of Atomseco.com to do a miniature redesign of the site, on the cheap and quick.
Happy to oblige, I whipped up a simple vectorized version of the old “white on black with a border” logo, cleaned up the header area, and made the links in the nav and elsewhere a little more palatable and friendly.
Atom liked the design so much, she decided to get new business cards to match.
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.

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!)
