Design Blog

Since September 2013, I have been graphically exploring the blessings of those on social media as well as my own. I’ve also been featuring work of other designers who are inspired by blessings. Why? Well, isn’t your day a little brighter when you reflect on your own blessings and those of the others? I know mine is.

The design utilizes muted purples, creams, sages, and Victorian patterns. The site design was intended to be minimal so the blessed inspired artwork would standout.

InfoSage Animation

The InfoSage program is being developed by Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians through a grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

InfoSage helps families coordinate an elder's care. Despite the serious topic, it was important to the client that the software was approached, thus the "granny" character was created and the light heartened color palette was established.

Biology Professor Website

HTML, JQUERY, CSS

In order to showcase this professor's specific research and expertise the site needed an earthy feel. The colors and illustrations in the header and footer help engage the viewer without distracting from the academic content and photography. JQuery and Javascript were used to animate the photographic and navigational elements in the site.

Jesus Loves You Ministries

The client’s mission to provide transportation and counseling to people trying to overcome methamphetamine addiction.

The client wanted the graphics to mimic the color palette and use of transparencies of a past version of the Creative Spark business website. The client also wanted a large glowing cross and her original logo (not designed by Creative Spark) featured. Wordpress technology was used so the client could be able to update the content without coding.

Central Illinois Herpetological Society Website

Custom graphics and Wordpress child theme

Since CIHS focuses on promoting the appreciation and conservation of reptiles and amphibians, the graphics were created to showcase photography of these animals. The site was developed using Wordpress technology so CIHS officers could easily edit the calendar, post information on the Market pages, and write articles about upcoming events or current news in the herpetology world without working with Creative Spark.
