Chicago Sportscast Network

The Chicago Sportscast Network runs sports-themed podcasts and blogs in sports markets across the country. As they continued to add new sites to their growing network, they sought a way to apply a consistant look to all their blogs -- while retaining the individuality of the team being covered. Using the metaphor of the sports jersey, and allowing flexibility based on the color of the team, I developed a template for them. My work included the design and the front-end code. Visit site


Hubwear

Hubwear, the brainchild of George Aye and Sara Cantor, is a site with one purpose: selling airport-themed t-shirts. George and Sara hired me to develop a new, fresher design, to add support for content management and blogging, and to support the eventual growth of their product line. I developed the site using a custom-built Javascript shopping cart. Since launching in mid-2007, Hubwear 2.0 has attracted the attention of many media outlets and, more importantly, has supported a persistant stream of t-shirt purchases. Visit site

Afer a successful eight months promoting himself through his website, Syd took the bold step of releasing all his recorded stories -- fourteen albums worth -- for free through his website. I worked with Syd in: developing the strategy behind the project, creating his podcast; recording his introductions for each album; and producing and editing the podcast several times each week. The podcast has been a success, earning Syd much attention for being one of the first major storytellers to release his work for free. Visit site
