Quicken Essentials for Mac
by Dan on February 25, 2010
Quicken Essentials for Mac has finally launched. Storied history aside, it was great to work on a real Mac app with a talented visual designer and dev team. We came a long way with the product in the time we had.

Photoshop Composites
by Dan on March 29, 2010
One of my favorite projects I rediscovered recently: A series of composited images done for the Sony Headphones “Transform Your World” site. The project featured four characters each transforming their mundane environment to something more interesting via their headphones.
For each character we selected a model and photography of each location, then art directed the photo shoot to match. After a considerable amount of Photoshop work we had each model in their normal and transformed environments.
Matching lighting and angle were most important. Additional details like snow lifted from the environment, carefully simulated reflectons and motion blur help to sell the effect.
Work Scrapbook
by Dan on March 16, 2010
I took some time to sift through a pile of discs of old work and pulled out some of my favorites. Some of this work is almost 10 years old and it makes for quite a trip down memory lane.
All of this work was completed during my 9 years at Digitaria. I did all the interaction and visual design unless otherwise noted.
Targeted Advertising?

Who does TD Ameritrade think I am? Sure I buy a few stocks now and then, but with a decade of account balances nowhere near any of the values specified in this promo you’d think they could at least pre-filter who they send these things to. It just makes me feel bad about my investment portfolio, which is probably exactly the opposite of what they want.
Print Work

Spotted both Mint and Quicken Online Mobile in a book of iPhone apps at Barnes & Noble. Not sure why you would buy a book about iPhone apps, but it’s nice to be in print.
