This site is a work in progress.
My name is Anthony Carcelli and this site is meant to showcase some of my work, but moreso to demonstrate some of the creative potential and innovative presentation that I possess. My designs are simple, appealing and functional. These are priorities for me, among all the best, most innovative designs on the web, many of them fail at maintaining functionality. I do this for a bigger purpose and as I improve, I get better at expressing my passion with this medium.
I collaborate with many talented peers and incorporate their skillsets to offer a wide array of solutions to any print, website, marketing, social or app desire you may have. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
Instructions
This site started in 2008 as an experiment to make a website like a desktop experience. The green tabs are meant to act as a title bar on a window, bringing them to focus or used for dragging. The controls at the top of the site automatically position the pages for you. Try them out.
- Reset to position the pages back to the way you see them now,
- Expand to see a 2 x N layout,
- Horizontal to position them horizontally across the browser, or
- Vertical to align them vertically.
- Hide view the background.

Learn 2 Grow - Homepage simplification/content delivery
Hired to create a more professional and web 2.0 design/layout for Learn2Grow.com. The idea was to simplify the homepage options, but still provide all the options they had put into wireframes. The site has a lot of content and provides great indexing for SEO, but has a lot of white space and is compartmentalized to reduce bloating.
