AnnualReports.com
When asked to redesign AnnualReports.com and InvestorFactSheets.com, I went for something minimal and easy to navigate. The sister site; InvestorFactSheets.com also shares the same layout with a complimentary color palette.

HELLBISCUIT
HELLBISCUIT is a personal site I designed and built to see how far I could get WordPress to go; and to see if I could use the CMS to be more of an online magazine rather than just a blog. The name came from a friend during a random conversation.

Michale Graves
When Michale (ex-Misfits) put a call out for web design help, I jumped at the opportunity. After we settled on a design for the site, I then developed it with a WordPress backend to easily update. The site also makes use for Vanilla Forums.

IR Solutions
IR Solutions is the parent company to AnnualReports.com and many other company financial documentation sites.

Homeward Bound Tattoo
I rarely design and develop sites entirely in flash, but when I sat down to design this site, I knew flash was the best route to go. The site showcases artwork and studio information of the shop.
 

Skeleton Key Art
Skeleton Key Art is the website setup to showcase Damien Echol's work, as well as broadcast news, events and benefits for the West Memphis Three.

Mister Monster
After working with Michale, I received a call from Jsin Trioxin on re-doing the Mister Monster site. Being a long time fan, it took me a few minutes to get "YES!" out of my mouth. A couple designs, and a couple weeks later, the MisterMonster site was up and movin'.

Viatrax
My original personal site - been here since 1996. Originally my portfolio site, I eventually migrated to evaneckard.com, and viatrax.net became a place for me to try out new design and development ideas, and to try and run a blog at the same time. Usually outdated, I keep it around for fun.

Degrees.info
With the help of a copywriting team and SEO team, I designed and built the site. The user interface was designed to make site navigation as simple and easy as possible. Also under the hood is a lot of interesting SEO techniques.

RateMarketplace.com
RateMarketplace is quickly becoming the new online resource for mortgage and mortgage rate information. The site is very strong in SEO, and has many built in techniques for organic search results.
 

MyPicklist.com
From Sprout Commerce, MyPickList is a way to recommend products you love and trust and recommend them to friends and family. If someone buys one of your recommendations, you get a cut off the price. This was a cool site to design and develop; and it's an ongoing project.

DinPattern
A hobby of mine is creating seamless patterns for web and print use. Available for free download at the site.

Serpenteens
I love designing and building sites for bands with good music. I designed, built and somewhat maintain the site. The site runs off expression engine, and uses a bit of flash to help add some action to the site and makie it a bit creepy in parts.

The Siren
A flash based website for the highly talented trip-hop/downtempo group; The Siren.

Favorite Thingz
Why not show off your favorite stuff and make money from it? FavoriteThingz is a website/widget that allows users to make a slideshow of products, events, people, places and even websites and be able to generate a little money from it. Still a very young site, it was a fun one to design and help develop (I also built the flash widget piece).

EvanEckard (ver. 6)
Version 6 of this site got a fair amount of recognition, so I decided to also add it in here for old times. A fun design, but wasn't as scalable as I liked, and I've learned quite a lot more since then applied in the current version of the site.

Michale Graves "Illusions" Album Art
Michale Graves recorded an album with a few song lyrics provided by Damien Echols of the West Memphis 3; and this is the album art I came up with. The inlay covers were both created by Damien himself (using artwork from Heather Hannoura), and I provided the design and layout.

Michale Graves "Demos and Live Cuts Vol. I" Album Art
This artwork was produced for Graves' first batch of demo recordings and live recordings from over the years. It's offered as an internet-only download, and the artwork was produced to be easily printed on desktop printers.

Mister Monster "Breaking Hearts and Eating Brains Since '98" Album Art
For a short time, Mister Monster ran an internet-only download album release of rare and lost material from the late 90's. This was the artwork that bookended the releases.

Detour Print Ad
One of the more popular products I designed for while at Next Proteins was Detour; a protein energy bar that tasted almost exactly like a Snickers. Along with this ad, I also did a huge amount of other ads, displays, packaging and promotional pieces to display the bars and brand. With the taste and advertising campaign, the company revenue jumped up 1000% per year.

Zombeast Record Release Poster
I was asked to come up with a poster that could also be easily converted into a flyer for Zombeast's debut album. After a bit of brain pulling, this is what I came up with.

Ex Post Facto "The Revolutionaries Are Dead" Album Art
Ex Post Facto is one of the only punk rock bands out there still doing true punk rock. This album art was created to be as iconic as possible - simple, easy to remember, bold.

Skeleton Key Art Shirts
Along with the "Revelations" tour merchandise, these tee's were also to be sold to help create funds for the West Memphis 3. Skeleton Key Art is the site setup to broadcast the latest news and events benefiting the WM3 and Damien's artwork and writings.

Xapp 3 Sided Table Topper
Another product by Next Proteins; Xapp is a protein energy drink. Infused with whey protein and 250% stronger than a can of an average off-the-shelf energy drink; it's tasty and got you going. This table top advertisement had drink mix recipes and was placed in many bars and restaurants.

Maxxon Print Ad
One of the products I did design and production for was Maxxon; a whey protein supplement for body builders and sports enthusiasts. This ad was focused more on the bar type product. The full-page ad ran in many hi-end sports and nutrition publications.

Michale Graves "Demos and Live Cuts Vol. II" Album Art
This artwork was produced for Graves' second batch of demo and live recordings from over the years focusing more around the "Return to Earth" release. It's offered as an internet-only download, and the artwork was produced to be easily printed on desktop printers.

Michale Graves "Revelations" Tour Shirts
What was to be Michale's latest tour, the "Revelations" tour was going to have some good looking merchandise to boot. These were some of the t-shirts that were to be available during the shows. Unfortunately, the entire tour had to be cancelled at the very last minute, and these tee's never made it out onto the road. Maybe one day they'll be re-printed without the tour info on the backs.

Calabrese Poster/Flyer
This was a poster created for a few shows on one of Calabrese's tours. Those guys are always on the road!

Michale Graves "Web of Dharma" Album Art (Re-issue)
I was able to re-design the album artwork for Michale Graves' debut release. This was a fun project to tackle since I had heard this album so many times before. The original pressing is extremely rare to find, and it was time to re-release it.
