Classic Stone Design Website & Logo Design

This project is a website design for Plantsville CT based Classic Stone Design.

The total project was much more than just a website design/build and included; a new logo design, that has since been incorporated into other marketing materials, and also some photography of Classic's showroom and workshop areas. The website design that was already in place was unfinished and used several out of date web technologies, such as a flash photo gallery, that risked alienating potential customers that would not be able to see it. The final result of the redesign left Classic with a much more modern, responsive website that degrades nicely down to mobile phone and tablet sizes while not sacrificing content or style.

About Me

Hello, I'm Steve! Welcome to my little corner of the internet dedicated to my creative work! For those that don't know me, I am a multimedia designer currently living in New Britain, Connecticut. Having worked with many different forms of media, gives me a wide perspective on many different types of design situations. I have a proficient understanding in the Adobe suite of applications including: Photoshop, Lightroom, Flash, Illustrator, InDesign, Premier, After Effects, Dreamweaver, Lightroom, Apple Final Cut, as well as many traditional artistic mediums. I've worked with everything from pencils to pen tablets, photography to videography, clay, paint, foam, torn paper, and more. Drawing on my vast skill set, I am able to adjust to fit the needs of any design project situation. I can do anything from printed material design, to web design, corporate identities, illustration, videography and editing, motion graphics animation and beyond.

I discovered art as a kid, drawing and painting, always doodling and daydreaming. As an adult, design has become a passion I have dedicated my life to. Please Check out my gallery of work as well as my videos and animations. If you have a design problem you need solved? Feel free to head on over to contact page and send me a message. Thanks for visiting and please be sure to check back often as I add more completed creative work to the site.
