Atlas Obscura is a compendium of the world’s wonders and curiosities. It catalogues singular, bizarre, and fantastical places not commonly found in traditional travel guidebooks.

I used the existing visual design for the most part, while also creating new design elements where necessary.

Maddon.net is my website. I built it to present my work to prospective clients and encourage them to contact me.

The result is a luxurious look and feel that draws attention to the content. I used responsive web design here, so the website adapts to the screen sizes of various mobile devices such as netbooks, tablets, and smartphones.
