Redesigns

On Web Design: The Processes of Site Design for a Commercial and an Education Client.
This site offers an inside look at how I designed two different sites during the same time frame. The first, Thales--North American division, is an international government-contract corporation that needed a web presence based on their international guidelines. The second, Poetry & Song, highlights the composing processes of songwriters and poets (for a national audience) with a close look at composer/musician, Billy Payne, pianist for Little Feat.
