What about XYZ?
No, this isn’t anywhere near all of David’s work. We’re probably missing a few things, but he’s done logos; print work like brochures and newsletters; XHTML/CSS programming; basic programming in PHP, JSP, and Python/Django; wayfinding signage programs; architectural installations; tradeshow displays; motion graphics; Google Analytics implementation and management; Google AdWords campaign management; Google AdSense monetization; photo art-direction; viral video production; and even Photoshopped the anus off of a cow (which wasn’t his idea at all). He likes to think of himself as a Swiss-Army Knife, but we happen to know that he can’t cork a wine bottle worth a damn. If you want more samples in a particular discipline, or just want to chat, shoot him an e-mail; but be sure to remove the spam protection stuff from that e-mail address.
