Graphic design for the on-line world
And honestly, EVERYTHING is online. I’m here to help you to succeed.
Hi, I’m Peter and I’ve been a Graphic Designer before I knew what that was.
My love for comic books, (before they became so cool), led me to illustration which led to print design which led to desktop publishing which led to the Web which landed me at Rogers Communications where I’ve been a full-time employee for over a decade.
At first I adapted my traditional print skills to the new online world, but I soon realized the online world was something different and new skill sets would have to be developed.
The Web requires constant learning and adaptation. I used my print skills as a base and then moved on to using Flash, HTML 5, jQuery, and then branching out to UX, Mobile and Responsive Design.
What’s next, wearables? The internet of things? Burning Moon is ready to continually learn, adapt and solve the design challenges that are coming and help you navigate your way to reach your goals.
It would be great to hear from you
Some of the work that I've done
I've gone from traditional illustration work to mobile design in my years in the business. Click on the thumbnail to see a few examples.
Now that you know a bit about me...tell me about you!
Let me know if you think there's something I can do for you. Let me know what you're looking for. My services include:
- Mobile Design
- Web Design
- Front End Development
- Photoshop work
- Print Design
Even if you just want to ask me some questions about these crazy InterWebs. I can walk you through what CSS, HTML5, RWD is. I can explain the difference between .psd, .eps, .jpg, .png files. I can tell you what’s important about them and more importantly what they mean to you.
Before mobile was on everyone's mind I put together a prototype for a Rogers.com mobile site that I would like to see. My idea was more content driven to show the great things available when you use Rogers but it was less retail driven. It wasn't approved but it did get the ball rolling for the current mobile site.
Working together with the design team, I helped create the layout for some of the more marquee products being sold on the Web site. Always keeping in mind a pleasant flow to show the customer the information needed to make their decisions and choosing the right images to keep their attention.
When an infographic was needed quickly to present to executives I worked closely with the copywriters to get to the main points we needed to present. Then using imagery in the same style as the current Website I created the infographic, complete with the information presented in a SIM card shape that I thought would be something people close to the product could relate to.
A very clean promotion page was created to promote The Rogers Cup in Toronto and Montreal.
Back when interactive meant Flash, I dove into ActionScript and made a micro-site for the Sweet Seats contest for the Area2 Music Festival which included artists such as David Bowie (a personal favourite of mine), Moby and Busta Rhymes. The micro-site allowed the users to read info on the artists, purchase tickets, enter the contset and check to see if they won.
Music and illustration have always been my loves. My goal was to become an illustrator like the great Philip Burke who did terrific stuff for Rolling Stone magazine. That got me work for the now defunct Metro Word magazine with an illustration of Oscar Peterson. However it's this unpublished illustration of Prince that has been one of my favourites.
