I designed this with a very simple use case in mind: you are in a place and you want to know what's around you.
Vger takes your current location and shows you a map with Wikepdia entries in the area.
You can also navigate the map to look for entries in other areas.

Spit and a Half is a distributor for small and independently published comics.
The client requested an e-commerce website developed with WordPress because he had previous experience with it. Another constraint was the timeline for the project: only two weeks for design and development.
With that in mind, Woocommerce was chosen as the basis for the on-line shop and Underscores to build the theme.
The graphic design reflects the DIY aesthetics of the zines, while also allowing for a clean and modern user experience.

The official website of your favorite hip-hop band.
The colors aim to reflect the fun and bubbly nature of the music the band plays. The transitions and structure of the website give a fast, no-frills access to listen to the records and watch the videos.

Sarah Glidden is a graphic novelist that also happens to be my wife.
I tried to keep the look of her website clean and elegant, not letting the graphic elements distract from her drawings, but at the same time giving it a distinctive, pleasant look.
Besides showcasing her artwork and comics, the site also incorporates a blog and an e-commerce shop.

A very big, horizontal timeline of the Universe and Civilization, with each entry animating as the user scrolls. Both a desktop and a separate mobile version were devloped.

This card was written by David Heatley and Amit Wehle, TLC Marketing. Creative directed and designed by David Heatley. Additional illustrations by Matthew Palizay.
iF Design Awards 2015 WinnerI was approached with the design already finished in Photoshop and a video showing the expected interaction and was asked to do the front end development. The whole project needed to be finished on a very tight schedule without sacrificing attention to detail and performance.

fran@franlopez.infoMost of my experience is in building applications and websites using React, Ruby on Rails, PHP (Yii/Cake/etc) and others. That being said, I'm a quick learner and I've also worked on various different projects involving Python, .NET, Java, C#, C++, etc.
I also do comics and I have a hip-hop band. What else? I'm very fond of peanut butter. How about you?
