Here’s another item designed for Edúcate Ya… this time a poster for their 3rd annual fund-raiser.
It’s another functional piece, with a focus on information over style, and a continuation of using bold colors and a very Latin American sensibility…
I recently helped out Mona from Acorn C/s with the website for Sensia “Life Enhancing Water”…
The design and everything is all hers, I just helped with some code. Check out her site; she has an obvious knack for textured design and illustration…
MoodyBands.com and their creator Naif Faris were featured in an article in the Oregonian (and they were kind enough to link directly to the site a couple of times).
Excerpt:
This month, Faris is advertising Moody Bands for the first time. He hopes that the six-wristband sets, which sell for $12.99 each on his Web site, www.moodybands.com, get more and more use.
Naif, who is also the author of two children’s books that deal with loss, works for Portland’s Learning Palace, which supplies schools, teachers, parents and home-schoolers with educational materials.
But if his Moody Bands succeed, he plans to add more emotions (afraid and shy will be a couple of the first) and build a career producing toys, books and other materials that help children cope with loss.(Link)
A couple more ads for Twill which will start appearing in different publications around town. On a side note, twillclothing.com, which I also designed, is down for right now until they straighten out some domain issues.
Naif Faris’ company “Moody Bands” helps kids express themselves through colorful wristbands, each with a corresponding emotion. Naif has written children’s books, and with the launch of this new product, hopes to expand and “produce children’s toys and accessories that encourage emotional expression and interaction.”

Both of these have been up for a bit but have been undergoing refinement.
Harttohart.com came to me whole and I dissected the Flash, adding new sections and implemented a SEO-friendly HTML version.
Nyloungedecor.com was a complete redo. We did the original in Flash but it proved to be too load-time intensive and packed with frivolous animation. So we extensively reworked it, throwing in some JQuery to add some pop to it and to allow it to degrade nicely. I’m pretty pleased with the results.
This ad for Twill recently appeared in the SE Examiner, along with a photo I took of the co-owners Audra and Heather for a feature on SE boutiques. Their new website {link at left} should be up and running within the week (crossing fingers and knocking on wood).

Here are two brochures that I made for one of my favorite non-profits in the World: Edúcate Ya. As far as I know, they haven’t hit the street yet.
“Edúcate Ya is Inc. is a non-profit Latino community based organization committed to empowering Latinos educationally, professionally, socially, culturally, and in wellness.”

Here are some of the print ads for Twill. They’ve been shuffling around town, sometimes peeking out from The Portland Mercury, and the SouthEast Examiner.
Oh, and Twill is located at 5935 Se Division, here in Portland 97206.
This thing has been up and running for some time, but it’s taken a lot longer to get this site up and running. So here you go.
