XPLANE's 2006-09 web presence is designed around a physical interaction metaphor which reflects the engaging experience of working with the company. This metaphor serves as a stage for a concise, visual, and effective presentation of XPLANE's value proposition.



Visual Resume
(@ the coffeehouse, for fun)

I'm still playing around with this one. It's a skills, methods, and perspective summary diagram to pair with a traditional resume. I'd love to know what you think.
Next up: Animation; I'm learning flash in all my spare time ;).
