Design & Integration

COATED™

I had the privilege to redesign an up-and-coming tech blog site which focuses on daily gadget reviews. With already an impressive twitter following of over 4,000 and growing. COATED™ needed a strong brand presence among its competitors. From the start, I focused on rebranding the logo along with a new color palette. A user friendly navigation is now present with the support of icons and the placement of social media tools are more visible. Overall, this was an eye opener project and to integrate with WordPress.

Victoria's Secret

Victoria's Secret is an American retailer of women's wear, lingerie and beauty products. It's known for its annual fashion show, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and for its catalogs, both of which feature top fashion models. The company gained notoriety in the early 1990s after it began to use supermodels in its advertising and fashion shows. I introduced a new homepage concept that I designed and proposed when an opportunity came around. I kept in mind the strong use of a grid and keeping inline of the asthetics of the brand.

Studio Scrubs

Studio Scrubs is a passionate company who designs and manufactures quality garments for the health care industry. With a small budget, I managed to redesign and integrate the new site with Shopify. Studio Scrubs needed a hassle free online-store with its own shopping cart and streamlined checkout. Consistency of buttons and crucial placement of navigational elements was a important part of the process. Now with a new look, customers have gained more trust with the brand, allowing them to purchase online easily and without a second thought.

Uvas Wine Agent

UVAS is a young company that distributes wine throughout Quebec with the intentions of growing across Canada. A great selection of wine needs good branding and a functional website. Although, I didn't build the site, I was introduced to help and conceptualize a new identity for the company. I guided and executed a clear vision for the future of the brand. I reproduced the logo, business cards, and an elegant look for the website.

Casino Royale

Although, the film is already a few years old. A new and improved version of Bond in my opinion was introduced by Daniel Craig. I had the opportunity to work on one of the online ad campaigns which had to push the theater release date. The microsite wasn't very complex but I decided to build it in flash, since it was very heavy in design and the client wanted to have some animation. Another key component was a small online game, which had to be integrated with the microsite that was provided by Sony Pictures. Overall, it was very successful and had a quick turnaround, which pleased the client. *NOTE: The microsite was pulled offline after the end of the contract due to legal reasons.

MeatMarket

A popular hot spot for lunch and diner located right on a core street in Montreal. Serving people with amazing deluxe meat sandwiches, to burgers, and some of the best fries around. From the use of colors, textures, fonts and music. MeatMarket had to have a beautiful ambience on the site which would reflect its true environment accurately. I designed and built the entire site in Flash. Every step I took in this project was also a great learning curve, and allowed me to push my designing skills further with some suddle animation tricks. Also beware of the Easter egg!

Fullspectrumottawa.com & Fullspectrumontreal

My first dedicated collaboration with a close friend of mine. This was an online city guide that listed some of the top night clubs, restaurants and daily happenings. The guide fully covered Montreal, Vancouver and Ottawa. I built the concept and website from the ground up. An expert in building databases helped us to manage the content through a custom CMS based on our specs. We also updated another part of the site weekly which focused on movies, bands, concerts and articles submitted by our readers. The site gave us lots of media credentials that allowed us to explore and evaluate different types of events throughout each city.

The Love Guru

Mike Myers and beautiful Jessica Alba. What a great combination! Although, I'm really not sure how well it did at the box office. I still had a blast working on a microsite design concept for The Love Guru. With minimal graphical assets and a short time frame. I managed to pull off a colorful look that reflected well with the story of the movie. Lots of focus was on a quiz that would engage the user to select answers based on their love life. A video of the trailer was also incorporated into the microsite. I did end up watching the movie a year after the release, and I enjoyed it very much.
