CD Catalog

 

Our master catalog, the digital version developed to help customers who had computers but poor Internet access at construction sites where many product selections are made. This digital option also cut down on production cost and the burden of carrying around another book. I designed the user interface, folio cover, and disk top.

Nick Nack 'n the Patti Whackers

 

I simply keep this one around because it was my favorite garage band, full of friends & back before 'garage band' was a software title, naturally. To help them out I provided the design services, photography, and supervised the print production. This was their only self published album.
