Wingnut Art & Media Services http://wingnutart.com The Portfolio of Nick Silva Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:00:09 +0000 en hourly 1 PYNL goes WordPress!http://wingnutart.com/web-design/pynl/ http://wingnutart.com/web-design/pynl/#comments Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:47:24 +0000 Nick http://wingnutart.com/?p=355 PYNL were having trouble keeping their sites’ content fresh with only one volunteer able to code new pages for them. That is no longer the case; we got together and created a full fledged WordPress site for thier team so they can always stay current. Converted static HTML website to WordPress with custom theme and coding.

FreeLibrary.org (Proposed UX)http://wingnutart.com/web-design/freelibrary/ http://wingnutart.com/web-design/freelibrary/#comments Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:39:54 +0000 Nick http://wingnutart.com/?p=351 FreeLibrary.org is the online home of The Philadelphia Free Library, one of my most visited sites on the internet. When I was transitioning into UX consulting in 2010, I created this mock-proposal for the library website.
What can I say except, everyone’s a critic!

Virginia Organizing Logohttp://wingnutart.com/identity/va_organizing/ http://wingnutart.com/identity/va_organizing/#comments Thu, 12 Aug 2010 13:13:46 +0000 Nick http://wingnutart.com/?p=339 Virginia Organizing has the tools, resources and knowledge to take on entrenched power whether in the public or private sector. My design seeks to reassure Virginian’s that Virginia Organizing will stand by them; with the strength and flexibility to win their fight. (Unused design)
