Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Council Website & Weekly E-News
As Communications Director of the Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Council, I developed this CMS-driven website (Joomla). The content management system provided immediate updates of news and events, tied directly into the organization’s weekly e-news (that I also managed), and allowed the organization to take online membership signups for the first time.

CD Covers Wrecked Mixes 2010
My 2010 mixed CD was the second of two mixes I’d made of nothing but cover songs. These were always fun to make. I titled this one, “You Can Judge A Band By Its Cover.” I used stock photos for the front and back, and had great fun adding the type and effects to make it look like part of the book. For “Wanderlust Vol. 5,” I used my own photos for the front and back covers.

All the postcards included on this cover are from cities or places mentioned in the songs included on the mix.

CD Covers Wrecked Mixes 2008
I invested the most time in the 2008 mix cover, but had the most fun with it. My hometown of Muncie was known as Middletown, the focus of an ongoing series of studies since the 1920’s that showed Muncie as the economic and social barometer for the rest of the country.
