Reality Casting Application

Initially developed for Hallock Healey Entertainment in Los Angeles, Be on TV Now.com provided the production company with an easy-to-use web based reality casting system. Built upon the Taleo Talent Management Platform, the system allowed candidates to submit detailed applications from the comfort of their homes. Once submitted, the system provided backend tools to automatically “knock-out” candidates with significant red-flags, efficiently review & process applications in bulk, and shepherd top talent through the interview and background check process.

For this project I completed initial research resulting in selecting Taleo as our backend solution provider, designed the frontend application template and implemented the backend processing workflow.

In addition to the custom graphics designed for the website, I also created a promotional package including flyers, business cards and other print collateral.


Connected Magazine

This 24 page magazine was designed for the Washington State University “Back to School” rush. Over 7,000 copies were distributed to incoming students to help with the process of getting their computers connected to the WSU network and well as provide information about the various products and services offered by Student Computing Services. For this project I acted as Editor and Lead Designer, as well as wrote all of the setup instructions and internal advertisements.


President Rawlins Tribute

This video was prepared for Washington State University President V. Lane Rawlins retirement party, sponsored by the WSU Foundation. After his seven years of groundbreaking service, the foundation wanted to honor him and in particular one of the programs where he made such a difference… The Cougar Marching Band. During his tenure, President Rawlins helped the band more than double in size and become one most successful programs in the northwest. The video was played in connection with several live elements including the official marching band announcer reading along and several band members playing the cougar fight song. In addition to the retirement party, President Rawlins and several top donors, fundraiser, and staff were presented with a keepsake version of the video with custom case, labels, and menus. Working with the foundation and staff from the communications department, I completed all technical aspects of this project, including, shooting the interviews, editing the video, preparing the DVD menus, and designing all packaging.


KLEWtv New Directions

This report and accompanying presentation was prepared for Glenn Johnson’s Broadcast Management class in the Fall of 2006. After extensive research and interviews with KLEW’s General Manager and staff, our group settled on several “New Directions” for the station to move in. These suggestions ranged from launching a new digital channel, to increasing the amount of content produced for the web, as well as a new promotional and sales campaign. For this project I was responsible for the programming department as well as a significant contribution to the general ideas and strategic direction.


MacLife - InDesign Assignment

 For this English 300 assignment, I created a cover and article design for a fictional magazine “MacLife”. These two pages utilized many functions of the application, including, gradients, vector art, high resolution photography, advanced text control and more.


Apotrope Brand Holy Water

Everything we buy is packaged. This packaging is not created by accident, but is the result of market research and social trends. This is of course not true across the board. As you look around you’ll notice there is a hierarchy to packaging, from the plain black & white with basic font of generic products to the bright colors and spectacular presentation of children’s toys. The different approaches to package design set standards that we can reflect upon while creating our own imagery. - Joe Stengel (DTC 332 Prof)

For this project I created: Apotrope Brand Holy Water from the original packaging of an Arrowhead bottle of water. This included modification of the logo, as well as all text and design elements.

This flyer set was created for the Fall 2006 Cable 8 Productions General Meeting. It utilized standardized brand photos to emphasize the tagline “Don’t Just Watch TV, Make it!” This campaign helped lead to the largest new student turnout in recent years.
