Solace Web Site
I redesigned my company’s web site to give it a more sophisticated look inline with the sites of larger competitors and peers. The home page includes a custom interactive panel that I designed and had developed by a great Columbian agency called Koombea.
Holiday Card
OK, this wasn’t technically a printed piece, it was an image that we sent out in an email to all of our contacts. But it was designed in the spirit of a holiday card and doesn’t fit in any of my categories so this is the best I can do. I like this piece because I think it’s a great example of how you can use good typography and layout to create a compelling design without any artwork or over-the-top gimics.
Corporate Whitepaper Template
This is the document template I designed for Solace. It’s simple enough visually that it can be used for whitepapers, attractive enough to be used for double-sided single-sheet solution briefs or datasheets. I created it in Microsoft Word to facilitate collaborative development and editing, and to give the salesforce the ability to create their own documents and proposals in an attractive template that reflects our brand.
Trade Show Posters

These are some posters I designed for our 2008 trade shows.

Small Corporate Brochure
This is an ultra-compact tri-fold brochure I designed and wrote for use at tradeshows and first meetings. Its finish/folded size is just 3.5″ wide by 6.5″ high. I’ve seen so many brochures go straight into the garbage can because it’s inconvenient to carry them that I decided to make our introductory “first touch” brochures so small that they literally fit in your pocket. This increases the chance that somebody will actually hang on to one long enough to notice that they should learn more about the exciting solution described inside. There’s still plenty of room to feature pictures of the product and describe our solutions and typical use cases.

Are You Soft in the Middle?
This is an article I wrote with our CFO for a placement in CIO magazine. The hook was comparing physical fitness with corporate fitness, and asserting that our unique approach and technology has what it takes to keep companies in tip-top shape. I’ll put the text of the article below the fold in case they ever move or archive the article.
