We're glad to see you!
Welcome to infotoaster.com, the online portfolio of Anthony Peluso, freelance information designer. It contains examples of Anthony's work ranging from graphic design and presentation, animation, database design and implementation, web development, online application development, etc.
It also contains Anthony occasionally refering to himself in third-person, and sometimes in plural. Please bear with him on this, he knows it sounds funny, too.
Freelance Information Designer?
This is the most concise title I could come up with for what it is I do. I take information and devise convincing, attractive ways to present and interact with it.
It's About Making Information Sing
Design isn't just about looks. It's about wringing all possible relevance out of data, so that you have the simplest, yet the most comprehensive view of the data that it can provide. It's about making information sing.
The Right Tool, Even if I have to Invent It
I also create methods by which persons or organizations can modify data (on the web, for example) in the simplest, most direct ways possible. This may involve devising new interface tools, or may just be a new application of the tried and true. Whatever works.
Simplicity
I like to keep things simple. Bells and whistles are fine - but it's best when their sounds convey information.
If This Sounds Good To You...
...then take a look at my portfolio for a few things I've done, and if you like what you see click over to the contact page and email me. I'll be happy to talk with you about whatever project you have in mind.
If you want to know a bit more about me before we get down to business, that's fine too.
What's in a Name?
My last name, Peluso, means "having long hair or a beard ". I live up to my name, as is evident on my about page.
Punctuation Protest
If you've noticed, I put periods outside of quotation marks at the end of sentences, "like so". I do this when that period has nothing to do with what's in the quotation marks. To place it within would be error in scope, and I'm leading the charge to make our punctuation follow good information principles. Thrilling, eh?
Here's a cute article about exactly what I'm talking about.
