STRIP is a powerful password vault built for the iPhone by Zetetic, a small but very robust software company just outside of Philadelphia. One of the companies partners is a member of Indy Hall and asked if I could help bring some of Zetetic’s properties up to speed in terms of creative.

Starting with STRIP I created a more product driven site, making the features of the app front and center! With this in mind I wanted a bold and easily navigated design while keeping the product in your face. I must give major cudos to the Zetetic team for the way they coded this site. I dabble pretty fluent in CSS/XHTML but the CSS trickery that was used to bring this design to life was impressive from where I stand. Just take a look at the site, if you are experienced with CSS you will certainly appreciate the work the programmers did on the site.

My good buddy Dave Martorana came to me and said he had created a new mail app based on Google’s API. He needed a nice icon and a marketing site in order to direct people to the app store. I gladly accepted the project and knocked out the icon in a couple of hours.

The website was a huge change for me. I usually design with very dark colors, or at least that is what the client wants. This app seemed like it need to be less “slick” and more light and airy. When I think of mail I think blue skies for some reason. Needless to say the project was a blast and I am looking forward to contributing more.

Two Guys On Beer is a podcast I co-host with Dave Martorana. We air weekly on Philly.com, as well as other outlets. The site was my responsibilty since I am the resident pixel pusher here at Indy Hall.

We wanted a gritty feel and I like to make things look gritty. Site is a labor of love as we should be adding blog capability to it sometime in June 2010
