The Adventures of Dan,
Music Enthusiast

Welcome to my website.

I am a multimedia Design Guy with over a decade of experience in graphic design, desktop publishing, web design and authoring, product packaging, and audio editing. Currently I am a graduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, pursuing a Master's degree in Library Science.

My most recent web project is a introduction and research guide to Net.Art, art that uses the Internet as its medium. Check out the 10 Examples of Net Art for a taste!

To see a living, breathing example of my work from 2002-2006, I invite you to visit the website of Queens University of Charlotte. I'm particularly proud of the Flash-based Admissions microsite.

Beyond Queens, I invite you to take a look at my portfolio of other Web work, print, and packaging design, categorized in the column to the left.

If you're as passionate about music (or data longevity) as I am, this article about CD rot may interest you. The best part was being invited to share my data with the Library of Congress, which is undertaking a significant study of the issue in anticipation of moving their catalog to digital media. And the worst? I learned some lessons about the fallibility of the news media. But at least the basic fact, that CDs and DVDs do not last forever, was conveyed.

Enough from me. I hope you enjoy the site!
