A little bit about ol Dave...

These stumps rule me.

Blowing up the Luzerne Pennsylvania web design scene, I've been working professionally as a graphic designer in the online marketing vertical for 3 years now! What's more suprising to me is not that I've sharpened my trade skills, but that I've gotten a grasp on the business side of things more than any class or book could have prepared me for.

About my new background image…

Written Thursday, July 15th 2010, in Tips.

I thought I would make a quick post about both my site design and where design is going in general. When I launched my portfolio site I had the basic color scheme and layout all completed and set in stone, but I didn't have a background image figured out. Eventually I went with a somewhat…

Kyle Jack Daniels Orton & Dancing Brett Favre

Written Tuesday, July 6th 2010, in Life, Showcase.

I'm a 20-something male in July. I am absolutely DYING for the NFL season to start! I'm not alone in this, and at this point in the calender it really feels like a snap of football hasn't been played in 13 years. To help ease the pain, I found two animated gifs I made during…

Styling Logo Designs for Presentation

Written Tuesday, June 29th 2010, in Business, Tips.

A bad logo is a bad logo, that has to be said immediately. This article isn't for trying to make a bad logo presentable, but is intended for those who have some great creativity and maybe could use a little extra "umph" when sending comps to a client.

Taziki’s first day with her pool

Written Monday, June 14th 2010, in Life, Taziki.

Slow site updates, but that's just going to be the nature of the game, as this is looking to be a busy summer for me. I am still hoping to sometime this month get a post or two up on some design business related things I've run into, so be on the lookout for that!…

My (out-dated) take on the iPhone OS 4.0

Written Tuesday, June 1st 2010, in Showcase.

I just dug up this old concept I made a couple of months ago, because the actual iPhone OS 4.0 was announced. Sadly, I think most of the things I incorporated into this design are things I would still want to see out of the iPhone OS. Somewhat appropriate with Apple's WWDC 2010 a week…

For my fellow “LOST” fans.

Written Monday, May 24th 2010, in Showcase.

Well Lost is now officially over... and honestly I don't know what to think about it. I definitely have to digest it all. Anyway, to celebrate the finale I made a graphic in the style of old school boxing flyers. Now I originally was going for the dimensions of 18x24, but thanks to my very…

An Extended Hello.

Written Sunday, May 23rd 2010, in Business, Life.

Well hello, I wanted to give a bit more of a proper introduction and I have a lot of time to burn waiting for the Lost finale so I guess now would be the best time to write it! This website took me way too long to produce, and personally started to become my very…
