Every project is a personal project.
I treat every project as if it is my own personal project. That means I give your project the same treatment I give my own, making sure it's something I am proud to put the Amberline Design name on. I work with you one-on-one to understand your taste and needs so that your design reflects your personality and accomplishes your goals. I listen to your ideas, but if you have one that I don't think will work, or isn't in line with today's design standards, I will let you know. Each Amberline Design client has a design profile on file so that if you have any needs in the future, the new designs are sure to be on-target with the image you have carefully cultivated.
Web Projects
Covington Cavaliers
Covington Cavaliers is a breeder of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in the Puget Sound region of Washington state. They needed a web site that is able to showcase the many notable dogs they have owned and bred over their years in the breed. They also needed something that was streamlined and easy to update frequently. The site's visitors are mainly dog fanciers and individuals looking to purchase a Cavalier.
Briarcrest Cavaliers
Briarcrest Cavaliers is a breeder of champion Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in southern California. They needed a web site to showcase their beautiful dogs and provide information for people interested in Cavaliers. The design is clean and classic, to show off the dogs to their best advantage.
Great Pines Cavaliers
Great Pines Cavaliers needed a web site design that is clean and classy, but fun and friendly. Each dog needed its own page, and a seamless way to navigate between the individual dogs' pages. A fun way to display the owner's fun photos was also needed, and answered with a Flash postcard gallery. After the design and construction phase was finished, the site was delivered to the client's webmaster for completion.
Hathersage Cavaliers
& Kathie's Travels
For this site, the client wanted two sites designed for one domain name. A Flash splash page with custom illustration by Matt Elbon was designed to point visitors to either site. The Hathersage Cavaliers and Kathie's Travels sites share a layout structure to achieve consistency, with slight design differences to give a distinct look and serve the purposes of each.
Linjato Cavaliers
The client is a breeder of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in England. She wanted a site that reflected the ancestry of the breed. The design needed to reflect old-fashioned royal luxury. She had particular pictures of her dogs that she wanted prominently featured. Since I was only contracted to do the design of this site, I have placed the version that was presented to the webmaster on a subdomain of amberlinedesign.com.
Matt Elbon Design
Matt Elbon is a talented graphic designer and illustrator who needed someone to code the new site design he created. I took the Photoshop files he created and turned them into a fully-functioning, interactive web site. The site includes a contact form with delivery confirmation page.
Ladyfest Tacoma
Ladyfest takes place in cities around the world, but 2009 is its debut year in Tacoma. Because the event hasn't taken place in Tacoma before, Ladyfest needed a professional web presence to catch attention, create an impression of the event, and emphasize the city. A cityscape illustration by Matt Elbon features the silhouettes of prominent Tacoma buildings, while a Flash slideshow beneath showcases some of the artists who will be in attendance.
Norfolk Drywall
This site is hosted by Honeybet. NDW offers plastering, screeding, drylining and ceiling specialist services for the construction industry. There are two divisions of the company, Norfolk Drywall and NDW Essex. They needed a site design that could be used for both divisions and a way to link the two. A splash page with a map was created with a map to show customers which division's site to visit, based on location.
Advertising
Sisters of Faith in Accountability
This was a pro-bono project for a ladies' group at a local church. The leader needed a small, attractive flier that could be printed on a home printer. The client wanted a vintage, elegant look. (I have blocked out personal information on the PDF.)
Cavaliers of the West Fun Match
Cavaliers of the West, a regional club of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club, USA, needed a flier for a fun match. It was mailed out to the membership accompanied by an entry form. It needed to contain a lot of information. I decided upon an Old West theme to play up on the "Cavaliers of the West" name.
Covington Cavaliers - Pierre
Covington Cavaliers needed a full-page, full-color ad to showcase one of their champion dogs in a special edition of the CKCSC-USA's quarterly Bulletin. The ad needed to have one feature photo and two additional photos to show the dog's development over time.
Crescent Realty, Inc.
A local realty company needed an animated gif advertisement to be placed on a web site for members of the military and their families. The client desired the text "The veteran's first choice" to be part of the ad. These are three of the concepts I presented for the client to choose from. The client selected the third ad.
Logo
Valley River Cavaliers
The client had just started showing dogs and wanted to establish her kennel's identity. The client was unsure of what she wanted, so I came up with several different concepts. The two logos on the left incorporate the ideas of water and river rocks, as the client requested. The logo on the left was ultimately the client's choice.
Blueday Cavaliers
This is a concept presented to a client, Blueday Cavaliers. The client wanted a logo that represented the healthy, well-balanced dogs they breed and show. It needed to convey the winning energy and attitude of a sports team.
Twintree Cavaliers
The client wanted a logo that was friendly, elegant, and whimsical. This concept includes mirrored decorative elements that suggest trees and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel's profile.
Norfolk Drywall
This well-respected drywall company in England needed a new logo using the company's colors. The squareness and straight lines of the logo emphasize the company's products and services.
