The client approached me after finding out about my service at iToonU.
Briefing:

iToonU the complete company staff
Put all staff in business suite
Visually separate staff by position in company by using business suite with different color combinations
Deliver toons optimized for web and print use

This is one great example to show how my iToonU service can be employed to replace real life photographs in a professional way. All toons have been created with my Wacom Graphics Tablet in Adobe Illustrator. The results are vector images that can be used for web and print. 

The client was happy with the results, all I care about.

Briefing:

Add two products with their thumbnails to the front page without changing overall appearance and dimensions of the site.
Do all programming and design necessary to accomplish this task

You can see the initial front page design by clicking here.
I thought of a three column design to integrate all products into the front page. Due to the width limitation each product had I could only integrate two thumbnails for the first two products and one for the last product since the logo on the bottom right was not to be changed in size.
As you can see in the initial site design there was definitely no room for any description. That needed to be cut and put on a separate page which I created as a details page.
The three columns view worked better than I initially thought and following the result I cooked up for the client (the image has been resized to fit the dimensions of this blog):

The client was happy with the result, all I care about.

The client is located in Germany and asked me if I would be able to work on an ad campaign for them.
I said yes and received the briefing:

Needed:
Print: Design for postcard advertisement to give out at various places.
Flash Animation: Flash animation that matches overall design of print design in various sizes.
GIF Animation: As close as possible to the Flash animation that will be shown to visitors without Flash capabilities.
Static images: Static images of animation that will be shown to visitors without Flash capabilities.
Content:
Picture: Thoughful/Sad/Angry woman with crazy hair.
The Picture is the vocal point and needs to carry the whole ad campaign.
Text: Jolie.de/Styler, You don’t Need a Man - Just a New Hair Cut

Since the photo is the vocal point I made sure get a few images, the client can pick from. I submitted a view photos and I guess I am way to americanized :) after 8 years in the USA. I choose photos with a lot of expression, character and color. I had to pull it back a bit as the client said we need it a bit more conservative. I had to readjust a bit to the wants and needs for Germany :) I submitted a view more conservative images and one made the cut.
Based on this image I created the following print ad:

The client liked the result and I went ahead to get the flash animation started.
Following is the result that the client picked:

Based on this animation I created 3 additional flash banner sizes. Exported them to work as animated GIF and combined the animation to make sense as a static JPG file.

The client was happy, all I care about.

October is the breast cancer awareness month. What better way to show my appreciation, respect and support by creating an awesome looking pink awareness ribbon. I thought of topping it by creating a whole package containing the pink ribbon in various formats so it can be used for web, desktop and print. This package is FREE for personal and non-profit use. I appreciate any help spreading and using it wherever you can.

Briefing fron the client:

We need a custom designed mascot for our PDA (Personal digital assistant) hardware and sofware company.
The final product needs to be available for web (RGB) and print (CMYK) use.
The mascot should reflect our PDA business maybe a PDA in mascot appearance.

This was an interesting job. Creating mascots is always challenging because you actually have to come up with something from scratch, to avoid copyright issues down the line. At least thats how I do it. I submitted a sketch and the client seem to have liked it right off the bat.
Working with a vector program seemed naturally to me, since it needed to be available in various sizes for the web and print. I went to work and created a vector from my sketch within Adobe Illustrator.
Following the result I came up with for this project:

The client was very happy, all I care about. I ended up doing the whole ad campaign for the client which was awesome. It included the Web images, flash animations, banners, regular and oversized prints, T-Shirts, etc.

Briefing from the client:

The client was happy, all I care about.

The client requested a simple banner showing company and event info.
The website itself is laid over somewhat of a concrete wall, so I decided to build on that. Putting it more into an urban feel I added the outlines of a skyline. Then I added company info and required logos. Finally I added a sticker look a like containing infos about the event. Following the result of this project (image has been resized):

This project has been created using Adobe Illustrator CS3 and Adobe Photoshop CS3. The result has been sent off to the client, and he was happy, all I care about.

Just Mobile the producer of the Xtand has contacted me to cook up a product website for their new toy. Just Mobile had strict specifications on how the website should look and what the website should contain. My work pretty much was to create a design that follows these strict guidelines. This is what I came up with:

It took a view submissions to the client but this one made the cut. Just Mobile was thrilled, all I care about.

The client requested a new splash page for his jewelry website. I have been given all freedom to cook up something interesting.
I decided to place the project on a black background to create a big contrast that draws the eyes right to the content of the splash page. The splash page should reflect the following properties: Mystery, Ice, Water, Purity, along those lines.
This is what I came up with (the image has been resized to fit the width of this blog page):

I partially covered the Diamond to express mystery and created a shape that resembles somewhat of flowing water. I created a color fade to the Ice River Diamonds lettering that is white at the top representing the ice and blue on the bottom representing the blue of the water. I added a reflection to the diamond to express the reflective nature of the water. The diamond itself is dominating this image and showing the purity and symmetric structure of a cut diamond. The blue background was chosen to round it all up and give it depth. The black background enhances/embraces the mystery factor quite a bit which was intended.
The client was very pleased, all I care about. Job well done!
