This was a pretty personal project. My fiance and I went through several revisions to get here. We were both happy with the outcome and the response was great.</description>

This was my first short film (so don't be too critical).

This was also my entry in the 24 Hour Film Festival in Knoxville, TN. There were a few requirements:

1. Had to be made in 24 Hours (writing, shooting and editing)
2. Had to be 4 min. or less
3. Had to include three specified elements (dictionary, a Landlord, and the line "Try and be incognito when you meet them.")</description>

I threw this site together for my sister's graduation party. Mailing invitations was going to be slow and expensive and Facebook lacks the visual customization to make a proper invite for the occasion.

The site was built with HTML, CSS, and Google Docs to handle the form.</description>

This redesign was focused on improved readability, organization, and modernization. I moved away from 6 cramped columns to 4 more comfortable ones. Color coding, stronger headlines, simplified elements, and miscellaneous structural changes were used to improve organization.

The major change in style was done in effort  to differentiate us from a competing newspaper. Since the Beacon is relatively young (created in 2005), it seemed appropriate to go more modern, and more than reasonable to rebrand (especially considering quality of the old nameplate).

Along with the newspaper, I redesigned the web site vbbeacon.com.
It was built using Squarespace, custom CSS, and a little JQuery.</description>
