Graphic design, be it on the Internet, the printed page or other mediums, is the meeting of creativity with communication. As a designer I strive to make sure that the message is complemented by the design, and never overpowered by it. Call me a modernist, but grids are the work horse of the industry.

The over powering design of many web sites and publications make the message second to the design. No matter how cool a design may be, the content must be King, if the reader is to come back for more. My goal in providing design for clients is to assure that their message is presented in the best possible way, to get people to read, understand and remember is top priority.

Introduction to Sailing

This is my entry in FlashKit's Sydney to Hobart game contest. It is an introduction to the basics of sailing and a sailboat racing simulator all rolled into one. I wanted to make a game that accurately reflected the physics of sailing, how the boat would react to the wind. Turning the dynamics of boat, sail and wind forces into a sailing engine in Flash was some of the most complex programming that I have done. The courses are highly playable, and I have received about 40 e-mail from around the world with people leting me know what their best time is!
