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.

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.

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).

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.

Here’s a logo design I completed for iSavera for the company Datastraits. Savera is Hindi for morning and was a play off of that and the idea of saving money. The site is geared towards woman mainly in India and the idea was to keep it professional yet inredibly playful.
This is a comp for the members section of the site which continues along the same lines. In this instance I’ve made the logo area mimic a landscape in which the clouds also provide user information.
This section would show a user how they can save on airfare using rewards programs. It also shows the user how many total points they have in all of their rewards programs and some general user navigation in the upper right hand corner.
Here’s a little piggy I designed as part of a proposal package I put together for iSavera.com.
I also put together a website mock up:

This is a project I started in the end of July, 2008 in order to showcase my Illustration skills. For this site, I keep things a little light and fluffy… colorful and fun.
There’s lots more to come from M. Pepe Navarino. Some things for the future include an animation project featuring the incredible skills of grand master Peter Szewczyk. The animation will be based on old ongoing project called “The Spacepeople”. On top of that, imagine having the wonderfully imaginative book The Rootabaga Stories by Carl Sandburg re-illustrated by the hand of Pepe Navarino? One can only imagine the outcome. Well, it’s currently in the works.
Go ahead and check out the site. Pick up a free wallpaper, why don’t ya? Sign up for the RSS feed so you don’t miss a beat!

The guys over at Cajual Records cajually asked me to help them out with some web layouts for their relaunch. I kindly replied with several different layout options for them… the above being one of those quick mockups.

With my online painting portfolio (www.petenawara.com), I’ve really tried to keep the design as minimal as possible in order to showcase the work itself. Avoiding flashy design and keeping things stark leaves the images room to breath. Go ahead and take a look at some of my paintings and drawings!

I’m proud to be able to say that I’m a part of the incredible things they’re doing over at Inersol Corporation. Doing design for a company that is making such advancements in the field of solar energy technology just tends to leave you feeling good about yourself. Also, I’m quite happy with how these designs turned out.
