This site was designed to promote Andy’s new album Departures. Illustrator Holly Tickner drew the illustration for the site. The entire site was created with my Tense Code content management system. This allows the shows and reviews sections to update automatically from a central Tense Forms database, and Andy can update the journal on his own, without knowledge of HTML.

July 31, 2006

This poster is for a documentary-style film about the end of the world, and how it affects the last few people living in San Francisco.

The weathered type effect was created by hand using Xerox transfer.

Using Tense Code made it easy for them to update the site themselves, which allowed them to update the site more often and bring more traffic to the site. I also drew the illustrations used in the site layout.
