Summary

I created this project to help people make better signs. The stencil has only 4 shapes to cut out. Those shapes are used to make each letter and number.

Design

This entire project was designed by me: the PDF, website, and video. The biggest challenge was designing the 4 shapes to be used in the stencil.

HTML & CSS

The landing page is coded by hand with no frameworks used.

Summary

I made this pen for fun — to explore the newer features of CSS. It quickly gained attention getting over 20k views. It’s also been forked over 130 times.

Design

I designed these buses based on a late ’70s VW bus ad. All the color combinations were available as new buses except for the last one.

HTML & CSS

The buses are responsive. All sizes and positions are set in em. Size of each bus is scalable by setting font-size using vw.

Summary

Brainless Tales was my personal comic I created and published daily for 9 years. All the design and coding was done by me.

Art

All 3,289 comics were drawn with pen on paper, scanned, and edited in Photoshop.

Web Design

I designed the site to match the esthetic of the comic.

HTML & CSS

All the front end was hand coded — most recently to be responsive and HiDPI.

PHP & MySQL

The site does not use a CMS. The database was set up, and the PHP was hand coded for the job of managing the comics.
