graphic, motion, interactive & web design welcome to michael-frazier.com
This website houses a collection of multidisciplinary research and project campaigns that were never constrained by the traditional boundaries of "out of the box" thinking. Rule 1: Contradict the common cliche, by thinking "in the box," where others always neglect to look. Michael Frazier focuses on the theories, techniques and practices of innovative art and design. Michael's expertise spans genres and art mediums but adheres to a single principle in perpetuity: make the client happy, regardless of art medium.
RECENT WORK: FINANCE
abington emerson
Web development service requested to build out a photoshop psd file in a html format with basic flash animation on the logo. Flash animation acts to draw the users attention to the capstone of the page, the logo, rather than to detract from the content by overpowering the user with an entire flash user interfaced site.
RECENT WORK: MEDICAL
comppartners inc / specialty medical reviews
Campaign included a redesign of corporate logo(s), building new collateral including several pocketed folders and insert sheets, brand new website(s) and an email ready e-brochure. Client requested a "futuristic" "at&t like design" for all printed material and logo design, hence the use of orange and blue (thanks at&t for the inspiration!). Logo depicts the partnership of the "C" and the "P" of comppartners in a swooping motion.

RECENT WORK: WEBSITE REDESIGN
livestrong - lance armstrong foundation
This is a spec design for a new livestrong.com website. My objetive for the redesign was to bring the website back to the roots of the foundation and really use the bold yellow bar as the anchor of the page as a whole. My inspiration was clearly drawn from the architecture of the foundation's newly built facility.
Main site page and sub page designs are below (click thumbnail to enlarge):
