Internet Design

While working for Internet Exchange, Paul's first website design was for Toshiba America. Soon after, he worked on other Toshiba websites as well as their Internet ads. Since Web designers were scarce at the time, the opportunities just kept coming and Paul kept saying yes. Many of the sites he designed have since been replaced by sites he had nothing to do with. These sites are denoted with an asterisk in the list below. Otherwise, feel free to click on the links below to see samples of Paul's Web design.

Internet-related Articles

I realize now that there were not a lot of designers when I started doing Web creative.

Rather than keep what I learned to myself, I penned several articles to help others along the way. Although probably extremely out of date (most of them were written in 1997 for Toshiba, before web design software was widely available or popular), I've always made these articles available for designers on my various websites to make the most of the design limitations of the Web.
