Production design for the revamp of mcdonalds.com launched in 2010. Along with organizing and retouching all food photography, I set up most of the assets for the site. 

On the site are a lot of  'callouts' (around 50). These are intersite banner ads for other pages on the site. I was responsible for these dynamic ads that have rollover messaging on the site.

To see them in action visit McDonalds.com. Here are all of the callouts in a contact sheet format:

Designed to be as simple as possible while giving the user all access to the Bus and Train Schedules to alleviate waiting in the cold for transportation. GPS bus tracking shows where the bus is using google maps, as well as tracked train arrivals.

This was the first CTA app that contained both trains and buses until the CTA opened up the tracking system they have in place today.

The human body is a machine that has a tendency to break down.  When it does, a good mechanic is essential to its survival and overall resale value.
