fkp client series presents: J Why

by Administrator on January 3, 2012

Every now and then you get a cold call and it really works out. That’s how I met J and his wife after receiving an email from them looking for a web designer. As a designer, you couldn’t ask for two nicer, more organized and articulate people. They were interested in a customized WordPress site utilizing Woo Themes Canvas. I also integrated Google fonts into the site to give them more options toward the look and feel they were going for. It was a breeze working with them and the results of our collaboration can be seen at JWhymusic.com. There are loads of audio and video clips from J’s various endeavors, all well worth a listen. I have my favorites!!!

I am really enjoying the process of interviewing my clients and the subsequent editing. Now if only I had a better camera. This video has some footage shot by J’s wife Anna, and man does it look better. For more on Anna’s dance film, “What Comes Between Fear and Sex”, which J scored, see the trailer here.

So grab a cup of coffee, sit back and relax for a few minutes and enjoy!!

fkp Client Series presents: Andrea Rich

by Administrator on November 9, 2011

This interview features Andrea Rich, a long time friend, client, collaborator and fellow spiritual traveler. I have created several iterations of her website for her many endeavors. The most recent is arichproduction.com, as well the accompanying blog site, which, for the designer peeps, is a customized Thesis theme.

I created the logo and a vertically scrolling site to focus on her current output as the author of the forthcoming book, Yoga of the ARcana, as well as her amazing  pottery creations. The blog is loaded with useful and inspiring posts, a video on the 5 Tibetan Rites and much more. Be sure to pay a visit.

A Kickstarter campaign is in the works, to help publish the Yoga of the ARcana book & card deck, and is set to launch by the year’s end. Please have a look at the video to find out just what it’s all about!! It’s great stuff!!

Enjoy—
