Prince of Peace Web Site Design

A new Web site design for Prince of Peace Church of the Brethren, in South Bend Indiana. Content management systems allows church to update news and photos. Photo slideshow page pulls images from the church’s Flickr feed.

Team Marketing Alliance Web site design

This Web site design for tmagrain.com allows TMA to publish news articles and provide up-to-date commodity prices for their patrons.

We integrated several third-party scripts to provide market data and commentary.

Alumni Magazine Layout

This alumni magazine for McPherson College included a recap of their fall homecoming activities, their annual giving report, and regular alumni features. I work with the college’s communications and marketing staff to produce the piece and procure printing and mailing services. The piece incorporates lots of photography and features on alumni and current student activities.
