Dwayne Casey's Website

Welcome. This is the portfolio of Dwayne Casey, a Houston creative graphic designer. Please, feel free to take a look around.

About me: I really enjoy being graphic designer and exploring creative solutions to visual problems. I have lived in Houston, Texas since 1970. By the way, if you are seeing this you probably do not have flash installed on your browser. You might be using something like an Iphone or similar browsing apparatus. Really, this is the alternative site area. I have set up a blog that is more mobile browser friendly. This site showcases my graphic design and web site design work.

I utilize my visual skillset to produce commincations for businesses and others who need that type of thing. Some of the works I do include website design, graphic design, illustration, logo design, large format trade show graphics, digital imagery, identity design and more. Get flash if you want to check it all out.

I enjoy my work so excel at it. The types of projects I am involved in are varied. Lately, I have been doing alot of printwork. A recent update to that includes Search engine optimization, or SEO. However I began in 1997 as a web designer working at PDQ.net (a web hosting / ISP comapny) and have continued to create projects for the web ever since. It helps to be able to translate work across media.

Print production jobs that I work on include: layout and design of brochures, newsletters, postcards, Member guides, member cards, newspaper ads and more.

My web projects include things like: static Web page design, Flash animated sites, Flash intros, video transitions using After Effects and sound editing. I have to say it is a pleasure to have such a variety of things to work on and produce.

I have come to have affection for large format graphics such as trade show exhibits. Very soon I am going to delve into vehicle graphics. Update (as of 10/2010), I have now produced one. Vehicle wraps are a great way to get a business some name recognition and advertisent at a decent price. Not that $2000 to $6000 dollars is cheap but consider that you get a mobile billboard that should last about 3 to 5 years. That should bring anyone investing in the medium some happiness. Vehicle wrapping can also be used for just vanity reasons. I hear that custom paint jobs from places like orange county customs can cost upwards ofcabout $50K. That makes a few thousand for a wrap sound like just a drop in the bucket.

The same material, or at least very similar can be used to create wall murals, and window dressings. So, as soon as I get my training out of the way look out!

I am quite the bass guitar maestro with a very nice track record that includes some work on a major record label release that has gotten quite a bit a national airplay and on a movie soundtrack. Bands include: The Jeepneys (1995-1999), Arthur Yoria (2000-2002) and finally Blue October(2003). Currently I like to hack out tunes using Cubase VST and Reason. Its almost like being in a band again less the live shows, stage, human musical interaction, audience........ Anyway.

For fun and excercise I like to do a varity of things for example, I am a brown belt at the martial art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I have studied/trained both Muay Thai (Thai Kickboxing) and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for about 8 years consecutively. It can be addictive, but really, its fun and quite challenging. If you are going to work out You might as well enjoy and have fun at it. The gym I attend is called Urban jungle Self Defense in Houston off of Yale and 7th. Good people. My family, WIfe Kristal and daughter Payten, occupy most of my time but thats OK, they're worth it. So the world is safe from complete domination. Lucky too, because I have designs my friends..
