Design and Art Direction by Carolyn Gargano.
Animation and Development by me!

Back in October & November (2007), I worked on an all-Flash site for Chandler Chicco Agency Advertising. I technically worked as a freelancer for the supercool kats at ‘Nition Design, but I worked solely with the folks at CCA Advertising. It was about a 2 month project and unfortunately during that period, CCA Advertising was dissolved and the project was scrapped. So what we have here is about a 90% finished product. It has some bugs and it is a bit clunky in spots, but I still think it shows some of my skills in the areas of animation and even coding. So there ya go.

TAKE A LOOKSEE!

DRAG THE SLIDER BELOW TO CALCULATE SAVINGS. Go on… Do it.

Here is an interactive Savings Calculator that I made for Net32.com. It’s pretty straightforward little widget with very simple math to it.

Here are some quick flyers that I made for a NC dj collective known as ERECTRO/LOCK (get it?… Electro/Rock, spoonerism, hilarity, et cetera). A lot of this stuff gets made super-quick because there is never enough time to design it proper (and is done as a free favor), but they are ALWAYS fun.

This is an animated bee that I created for the NRDC. The actual page can be found here.

So for the past 2 years I have worked as a Multimedia Specialist for RTI International in the Digital Solutions department. The job was really spectacular, I worked with a super-talented team of folks. In those 2 years, we worked on basically 3 projects (to give you an idea of the scope of the projects).

Some of my tasks included Graphic User Interface design, simulating software apps and operating systems with Flash, prepping Flash components to function inside the 3D simulation environment, creating 2D mock-ups of potential tools within the sim, as well as tons of various graphic design tasks.

The down side: all of that work was very protected government property. So don’t expect to ever see anything here. Just trust me it was the best professional work of my life, and you DEFINITELY want to hire me full-time based upon that. =)

So anyway, here is one of only a couple of things that I can show off (and even this may bring about a C&D letter). This is a vector drawing of the S6 Signal Corps insignia created for RTI International.

This was created in Flash, because it is to later be used in a Flash environment. For extra fun (and because I desire your pity), below are the two source images that I used to make my version.

I know it seems all “meta” and stuff, but this was a printed banner used to sell panoramic printed banners at Mustang car show. The client needed a sample banner that also acted as a sign used at the car shows.

This was a large printed banner that was displayed at Signal Festival 2007 and all the lead-up Electronica Viva events. If I remember correctly, it was 6 feet by 2 feet in size.

A couple of quickie designs for the Electronica Viva events, which are a lead-up to the Signal Festival.

Here are some proposed business card designs for Research Triangle Dental. The top two are the versions that they liked best, and those should go into production soon.

I helped design this very large outdoor sign for Research Triangle Dental in Research Triangle Park, NC. Signage Industries was responsible for construction and initial layout.
