Project: Conference website '09

Miva Merchant 2009 Conference website

The focus for the 2009 Miva Merchant conference is the online merchant, who drives most of Miva Merchant's sales. The logo and site are designed to look like and evoke the elements of a transaction; bar code, credit card and receipt.

Project: Miva Merchant 5.5

Miva Merchant 5.5 user interface

Miva Merchant's flagship software enables people to create a website with a built-in shopping cart, payment processing and much more. Previous versions were some combination of red or blue with grey and outdated graphics. I updated the look and usability of the administration with more color, cleaner design and contemporary graphics.

Project: Conference t-shirt

Miva Merchant 2008 conference t-shirt Miva Merchant 2008 conference t-shirt

I wanted the t-shirt for the 2008 Miva Merchant conference to be more memorable than the average conference t-shirt, which usually ends up in the bottom of a drawer. I opted to emphasize the logo icon for the front of the shirt to make it stand out.

Project: Coporate logo

Miva Merchant

The Miva Merchant logo brings a sense of dignity to a company that, under previous ownership, had alienated its core customers. The icon harks to the Miva logo circa 2003.

Project: Business card

Miva Merchant business card

The Miva Merchant business card exaggerates the motion implied by the logo's icon. I also wanted something that looked different by having the logo in the bottom left corner instead of the top left.
