Ikigai: Blogging the Martial Way is a Wordpress powered blog created early 2008. The subject matter encompasses many aspects of the martial arts, including technique, philosophy, self defense, and combat. The Ikigai design needed to express both the mental and physical aspects of the martial arts in an engaging way. The author, Matthew Apsokardu, had an established emblem he wanted to work into the header (an oak tree containing a classic tri-bladed martial arts symbol), so the design was built around that core concept. The shadowy sword figure represents the authors experience in swordsmanship, while the deep sky entices visitors to be introspective while reading.

Ventura's Greenhouse is a bar and restaurant located in Margate City, NJ. With it's history dating back approximately 100 years, the Greenhouse has received a few face lifts over the years. I was brought on to rejuvenate the look of their website & logo and incorporate new features, while keeping the site basic and to the point.

The club is designed for those who like to enjoy wine every day and those who know that wine helps make a party great - no matter what the size.
