I'm not sure if I want to call myself a web developer, a user experience engineer, a graphic designer, or a front end web wizard (yeah, probably not that last one), but I'm almost positive that...

My name is Travis Wissler. Welcome to my little corner of the web.

What I do for a living

Graphic Design

Both web and print

(x)HTML & CSS

Utilized on a daily basis since 2004

CMS Template Creation

Skilled in MODx, learning Wordpress
 

What I use to get the job done

Photoshop

I would be lost without it

Illustrator

Moderately used

Dreamweaver

Used as a glorified text editor

<div class='lightbox_title'><img src='images/lightbox_title_emerging_china_stocks.jpg' /></div><p>This was a redesign of the Emerging China Stocks sign-up page. The header and footer are not mine, and all the content was provided before I began working on the page. I've hosted this myself to avoid looking like I'm trying to sign people up. They're still testing conversation rates, so the live site uses a few different variations right now. Additionally, I didn't build this page; it was done by their in-house programmer.</p><div class='lightbox_link'><a href='http://traviswissler.com/hosted_work/ecs/signup.html' target='_blank'>View the mock-up</a></div>

<div class='lightbox_title'><img src='images/lightbox_title_california_citrus.jpg' /></div><p>Created in Illustrator, this is a packaging label for fruit crates. The goal was to make it simple, stylized and appetizing.</p>

<div class='lightbox_title'><img src='images/lightbox_title_gradient_nightmare.jpg' /></div><p>It almost hurts to even look at this image knowing how much time went into it. Created exclusively in Illustrator using only gradients and patience, it's safe to say this piece is one I'm proud of.</p>

<div class='lightbox_title'><img src='images/lightbox_title_war_wallpaper.jpg' /></div><p>This piece is the first in a series of wallpapers I created for the game "Warhammer Online". I took existing, rough concept art and combined it into a coherent, much grittier, much more realistic scene. The text on the left is not intended to be legible, it's simply there for atmosphere.</p><div class='lightbox_link'><a href='images/fs_war_wallpaper.jpg' target='_blank'>View the full size wallpaper</a></div>

Want to get in touch?

I primarily focus on front end web design projects, but am happy to do logos, print work, or apply my talents to whatever other project you've got going on. A little variety never hurt anyone, right?

I'm located in San Diego, but the majority of my freelance work is done remotely, so don't sweat it if you aren't local. If you've got a question or a comment, don't be shy! Drop me a line and let me know what's on your mind.

I am not currently accepting any new work.

Looking forward to hearing from you, Travis Wissler
