Hi, I'm Chris Warner. I design stuff.

I am a web/graphic designer by day and a web/graphic designer by night. I mean, I do other things, but I love to design and am passionately dedicated to the work that I do.

I'm constantly designing things in my head, whether it be adjusting the spacing between letters on a billboard's text or visually moving elements around on a magazine article's layout. Design is everywhere and I'm always trying to find new ways to make it work.

Well, that's enough about me for now, but if you'd like to learn more, you can go here. Otherwise, use those fun little tabs below to get going through the site.

Have fun and feel free to contact me with any questions!

Print Work

Print production, to me, is one of the most invaluable, and occasionally under appreciated mediums that graphic design has to offer.

There's something about holding a thick piece of 100lb. uncoated stock, or running your fingers over embossed text, or seeing a drop of water on a piece of paper coated with a nice glossy spot varnish that is amazing to me. Just the fact that I know what all those things mean, is something that is also amazing!

Paper is a powerful resource and, as a designer, I am always thinking of the best ways to take advantage of and be creative with it.

Web Work

As web designer for a company that specializes in providing internet technology to real estate companies, it is my responsibility to, well, design websites for real estate companies. I don't stop at just the design of them, however! I also develop them using CSS, XHTML, PHP, the occasional Javascript and occasionally Flash.
