Design

Things that I make and would like to share

I designed this site with overall sear simplicity with the design and the coding. It's not the most exciting website to look at, but it does get the message across very well.  Also, I figured that I might as well go the whole-nine-yards when developing this site, so I developed my own content management system for this site to maintain [...]

Okay, I've got another paper cut-out and this time it's for my church, the United Methodist Church of Whitefish Bay! It's not quite as exciting as the Nott Paper cut-out, but it does have some character to it. I still have at least one more building that I would like to make into a paper cut-out, but we'll see when [...]

While I was digging through some old magazines, I found a really neat paper cut-out and glue together 3D castle. I immediately thought, "Hey, I could make a cut-out of the Nott Memorial." So, after just a couple of hours in Adobe Illustrator, I came up with a mostly functional cut-out of the Nott Memorial. I would like to use [...]

This is a movie I created of the Nott Memorial located at Union College in Schenectady, NY. My goal is to recreate the structure as it appeared in the late 19th century. Since the Nott was heavily renovated in the late 20th century, the interior of my model does not exactly match what is there today, but it is close. I modeled the structure [...]

This is the first movie that I made and I spent some time planning out how the storyboard would flow. The end result included pretty much everything that I intended to put in this movie plus some last-minute ideas. Most notable is that the room itself was based on my own including the furniture and most of the little trinkets [...]

I finally broke down and completely redid my entire website. All the graphics before you were created by me and only me, using a number of programs at my disposal. Also, I created this site with Internet Explorer in mind, so I have no idea how well this site will show up in Netscape, Mozilla, or Opera. Other than that [...]

I have begun work on a new movie. This one's going to be a little different than my others. I plan to use two Christmas teddy bears and, basically, the movie is going to be a little bit like 'Toy Story' only without the dialog. It's going to take some time to create.

Well, it seems everything is slowly getting back to normal here in the U.S. (no more round-the-clock news coverage.)  Anyway, due to recent events, I don't believe I will be able to make the movie that I mentioned below.  Primarily, because it involves a city and two airplanes (a very, very bad combination at the moment), so I'm guessing that [...]
