User Experience Design for Cision

By Pete Nawara | Published: December 15, 2011

As an employee of Cision since summer of 2010, I have had a major hand in the overhaul of the entire CisionPoint application. CisionPoint is a large scale, data driven application for PR professionals. Re-imagining major sections of the application with the CP team continues to be a huge undertaking filled with constant challenges. Simplifying a multi-national conglomerate of several different web applications that have been combined over the years has proved to be fun and exciting, as well as a great test of my abilities as a designer. I have additional been tasked with user experience, visual, and user interface design in Cision’s mobile app, Cision’s Chrome Extension, CisionWire, and several other Cision related microsites.

Web & Graphic Design for Tahoe Partners

By Pete Nawara | Published: April 27, 2010

Tahoe Partners brought me on to help them with Dearborn National’s new site. Responsibilities included creating robustly designed comps for the web in Adobe Illustrator which are fully layered and ready to be implemented. I was then asked to convert said comps into Adobe Photoshop documents for the front end development team to cut and implement. I was also in charge of finding stock images to use throughout the comps.

Web Design Proposal for Global Authority Inc.

By Pete Nawara | Published: June 9, 2009

In this freelance operation, I was asked to create several web comps for Global Authority Inc, an authentication services company specializing in sports trading cards. They wanted a professional look while still showing off the sports theme of the site. Using Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and a few references from the client, I came up with this design and a couple of others.

The site was meant to have a splash media area which I decided to go with a lone baseball with a slick background. The splash they ended up going with (pictured below) I based off of this design. Please note that due to lack of Identity at the time of creating this site, I mocked up the logo at the top as well.

Skillrazor Design Proposal

By Pete Nawara | Published: June 5, 2009

Here’s a design I comped up for the guys over at SkillRazor. It’s based off of what they already had at skillrazor.com. I’ve rescaled the site to be more information friendly and less flash dependent. The flash that was there seemed hardly necessary so I streamlined that section to be less prominent and more informative. I was keeping with a professional vibe wile still pushing a feeling of freshness and sharpness. This partiular comp is unfinished.

BuyFlipRent.com Web Design

By Pete Nawara | Published: June 5, 2009

This site was designed for SkillRazor from the ground up. Working with a team of Ruby on Rails developers from SkillRazor and Obtiva, I was responsible for creating wireframes, designing the look and feel based on the clients desires, and implementing those styles in a Ruby on Rails environment using HAML & SASS. This also involved bug fixing in all major browsers including the dreaded Internet Explorer. This was additionally my first major introduction to using GIThub (a revision control system).

Integrated Innovations Web Design

By Pete Nawara | Published: June 5, 2009

This is a site I did in collaboration with Luke Ratto for Integrated Innovations under the name Pelu Design® (website coming soon). Based on Luke’s logo design and some direction from the client, we put this design together using Illustrator and Photoshop and then implimented it using Html, Css and PHP while utilizing a WordPress install as a content management system. We’ve also put a twitter feed into effect that streams the latest tweets from Integrated Innovations Twitter feed.

An Extremely Shockingly And Distressingly Bad And Serious Event Causing Great Suffering

By Pete Nawara | Published: December 15, 2008

Here’s a t-shirt design I did for Threadless. This design was created in Adobe Illustrator and the mock up was created using Adobe Photoshop. I’m currently using cs3 until someone decides they would like to pay for the newest version for me. Thanks in advance. You’re very kind.
