old business card design, circa 1999
When I was 19, I traveled to Paris for my second college internship (the first was as a photographers assistant in Cleveland. Not as glamorous as Paris, but I still learned a lot.)
For three months, I worked in the art department learning how to design websites while attempting to improve my French.
Over Memorial Day weekend I spent time going through some old files, and discovered these design mock-ups I had made.
It’s amazing that these were done 10 years ago. Check out the browser!
Most of the time, the designers were given a website to create from scratch. They’d fill me in on the specs, give me logos and other assets, then set me loose to create my own interpretation.
Ah, the inside page mockup.
This was the briefly the homepage of my site, when my work was more photo/art based. And waaay before the days of WordPress.
This was my first crack at a corporate website.
Aaand the corresponding inside page example.
I came up with this name just for the sake of the demo design. I think I read something disturbing about conspiracy theory that day.
And the ridiculous alt version.
This was a design for cifani.com, in case my family ever did decide to build a site (we never did).
