365 Days of Astronomy

While under employ at Clockwork, I was tasked with creating an identity and design for a site that would play home to the daily podcast for the International Year of Astronomy. The requested design goals were to create an emblematic logo and a design that engaged while remaining credible to its scholarly content. 365 Days of Astronomy proved to be a hit—not only with those interested in astronomy but also the design community—and has been renewed for a second year.

Typesites

Typesites was a weekly showcase of sites with interesting typographic design. The idea sprung from an inspiration folder where I gathered sites with excellent typography. The idea evolved to incorporate extensive design reviews of the site in question. Typesites was a success in the interactive design community with almost six thousand RSS subscribers.
