Rachel Thurston Photography
I’m the first to admit that I think the whole “giveaway” concept is a bit too much and I rarely enter them because of that, but when I can across this one, I thought I would post something. My reason for doing so isn’t to win the contest, although that would be nice, but because the quality of work that Rachel Thurston does.

Recent Work: mbridgetcook.com
I’ve had the great opportunity to work with Bridget Cook for the last couple of years on multiple projects. A few of those projects have been websites for the books Skinhead Confessions and Shattered Silence, which is being featured on Oprah today. In preparation for that, Bridget has decided to do a self-promotion website. I had the opportunity to design and code this site and even though it was done pretty quick, I think the results are very nice and a good start for her to showing the world what she can do.
Recent Work: Shattered Silence
Shattered Silence is a book written by Melissa Moore and Bridget Cook. It is a story about the daughter of a serial killer.
The big focus on this site was to feature the book and allow them to purchase it as easy as possible. Also, to give the visitor enough information about the book to want to learn more.
It was developed using WordPress so the client could easily manage the content on the pages as well as add in articles about the book.
Melissa Moore and her book will be featured on Oprah September 17, 2009.
Recent Work: Talking Pictures
The Talking Pictures website was redesigned to allow for more infomation to be displayed in an organized way. Tony Toscano and Rich Bonaduce are both well know in the enterainment world but the website wasn’t up to par and not getting the traffic it deserves.
This new design allows for more reviews to be easily seen as well as the video interviews. The traffic to the site is steadily climbing and there are great advertising opportunities on the website. Go to talkingpictures.tv and check it out.
This website was designed and coded by my studio, 325studio, and was built on the WordPress platform.
Do you need me to draw you a picture?
Here is a great article on visual thinking (pdf). This just proves that I’m still listening in meetings even though I’m drawing.
