Cover for the Computer Athlete's Handbook — I worked with author Brian Bentow to design the cover for his book for those who want to become more skilled at working with the computer.

Fun facts: I actually shot the cover image in the locker room of the high school I graduated from. The mouse is the same mouse I've used for the past three years, and that apple was pretty tasty.

You can see more images or order a copy for yourself from the book's page on Amazon.

My Amazing Cloth — This one page site offers information and a way to order "My Amazing Cloth"; a cloth that can be used to clean anything from windows to hardwood floors using only water.

As part of the process I helped to define and create a more solid branding image for the product and set up processes to make it easy for the client to manage orders.

Holiday 2008 Photo Cards — The first set of cards for Cardstock, a new personal project of mine. Cardstock provides high quality layered Photoshop templates for professional photographers to resell to their clients.

Antioch Community Church — One of my ongoing projects is managing the website for Antioch Community Church, a new church in the NE Minneapolis area.

The site is updated weekly with service and event information and a podcast. (Which is also shared to the iTunes Store.) It's built on WordPress so many different users with different access levels can manage it.

The church does not currently have a permanent location, so the web is a vital part of its marketing. Several different individuals have found and visited just through the site.

Red Rock On Air — Red Rock Radio in Pine City approached CrexTechs about a redesign to their old website that would be more dynamic. The site was launched in August 2008, and had over 25,000 page views in the months of October.

The new site is built on the WordPress content management system, which is configured to allow easy access for uploading audio clips, specifying featured stories, and creating polls.

Home Field Advantage 2008 T-shirts — The t-shirts for the Home Field Advantage project (modeled here by my little brother) were just part of a series of things I designed for the missions project that took place in the summer of 2008.

The circle logo on the left was use as the mark throughout the project.

I also developed and ran a week-long blog during the course of the project. Check it out at hfa2008.org.

Burnett Dairy photos — CrexTechs had the opportunity to take pictures of almost all of Burnett Dairy's inventory. Dennis and I worked to get clean pictures of the various cheeses on a white background to be used in the online store and other advertising.

Things I learned: Limburger is really hard to get off your hands.

"125cc" — As a quick little personal project I shot and edited a short film of my brother and his friends riding his dirt bike one fall evening.

What makes it interesting is that the whole thing was done on a Kodak Zi6 - a very inexpensive camera that shoots HD video but does not have things like an optical zoom or external microphone support. (Or tape, for that matter.)

You can watch the minute long video in HD over on my Vimeo account.

Computer Athlete Media — Companion site to the Computer Athlete's Handbook. (Described above.)

Also built on WordPress to allow extremely easy updating by the client.

Burnett Dairy Billboards — I designed two billboards for Burnett Dairy Cooperative to advertise their retail cheese store and website (which I also designed, see below). 4/08

It was a new experience for me working in such a large format (12' × 24'). An attractive and simple design is necessary to keep things readable at a glance.

Developed in partnership with CrexTechs.
