Nelson School Site

It's been a long time since my last post because of this project, Nelson Education Ltd. School. A work in progress, it won't be fully functional until Sept. 2009.

I have been in love with Trebuchet MS ever since I first saw it. When I found out that it was on just about every computer in the world, that made me even happier. When the Nelson school design came to me, I know that this professional/playful typeface would be perfect. Although the main pages still need design tweeks to bring it in line with my original designs, I'm very happy with how this page turned out. As you can see, it is almost 100% Trebuchet.

Rejected! - Website.

This was an attempt at a monochromatic pixelly design for the french version of idée's website, submitted and rejected circa 2000. My eyes loved the sharp edges and tiny little high-contrast details. In retrospect, I can see why this proposal got passed over ... I was forgetting the user and the content and was letting the idea take over. It was all a bit too precious ...

HyperBio - Mystery Project

No, I was not immune to the excesses of the late nineties. 'nuff said …

Festive Earth - Interactive Map - Flash

Around the turn of the last millenium, Festive Earth, a group of environmental activists, committed to protecting the Don River catchment asked me to create an interactive map to showcase their various members. Pity it isn't online any more. :-(

Nelson Education USA - Website

This was the first full website I designed for Nelson Education. The company was expanding to the USA and needed a presence that was both friendly and professional. I was involved only on the design side and not in coding. Also, with the guidance of many CDs and VPs, I designed the logo and company identity.
