Camp Cigma: Magician's Camp

I recently had the great pleasure of designing the new website for Camp Cigma, a fantastic magician's day camp in Sarasota, FL. Today is launch day, and the new site is online!

The owners / creators of the camp—Elia Chesnoff (aka Ilan), Josh Corn, & Lydia Corn—are all kind and amazing people and very good friends of mine. Naturally, I was excited to work with Camp Cigma, both as a camp counselor and as a web designer this summer.

For the Camp Cigma website, I not only designed and created the website, but I also got to do a fun background illustration, filled with camp-related imagery and inside jokes. Here's a screen shot of the site, with the full background illustration:

And here is a close up of the left and right halves of the background illustration, side by side:

And, in case you are curious, here are the original inked images, before digital editing:

Anyone in the Sarasota area during the summer should definitely look into sending their children there. Check it out. It's an amazing experience, and I was glad to be a part of it!
And if you are ever looking for a magician/illusionist for any sort of event, anywhere, I can recommend no one better than my talented friend, Ilan, whose website update, incidentally, is my next web project.
