Took this site live last week. Turned out really nice, I think. Many thanks to Tom Benway for setting up the CMS backend.

Made some progress on the interior pages of the children's Flash site I've been working on...

I've taken on some contract work lately, to keep my web-design chops up, and it's been a ton of fun. Definitely enjoying this project in particular-- an all-Flash site for a children's church group. Can't wait to animate this one!

Above is my original pitch. The client wasn't in love with the Noah's Ark theme, so we decided to try something with an amusement park motif instead.

Above is my second pass at the design, implementing the amusement park theme for the "Kidz Jam", and some different photographic elements for the other two age-groups.

Above, and below, is the third (and hopefully final) pass at the homepage, with some new illustrations for the "Baby Jam" and "Jungle Jam" sections. The church's in-house graphics department did the animals, and I drew the babies.

I think the project's going to call for quite a bit of animating and compositing in After Effects, which I'm really looking forward to. My friend Tom Benway is partnering with me on this one as well, building an awesome content-management system to plug dynamic content into the Flash. Nice!
