Brad Candullo


Brad Candullo is a freelance website developer and designer living in New York. He also does many other digital forms of advertising such as logos, fliers, and flash games. Candullo's websites have a heavy focus on functionality relating to the source material. His clients range from large corporations to other freelance artists like himself. His websites reflect the scale and the function of the client. For example, his website for Atlantis Centers, a program for children with SIB, is very simple and professional, with information clearly accessible.



However a website he designed for an independent jewelry designer is less traditional and more creative, and still relatively easy to navigate. Since it was created using Flash, the website also features music and a level of interactivity. The pages of the notebook on the home page turn when pulled or when the appropriate link is clicked below.

Site no longer available.

His sites reflect very well the intentions and needs of his clientele. However there is nothing truly innovative about his work. This is not necessarily a negative thing in the world of website design- after all, commercial websites must be designed to accommodate as many different people as they can, and there are many templates that have become standard. It may also be that the type of clients Candullo has received have not wanted anything groundbreaking from him either. His home site hints at the potential for more creativity than has been demanded of him in the top logo. In fact, it has a unique way of presenting his resume, with a top link that redirects down to a contact/resume form that exists at the bottom of every page. Overall Canullo's work is very solid, however I believe he has the potential to create more groundbreaking things than he has given the chance.

Website Background Concept

It's an idea, though it's a little bleak and that upper left corner definitely needs some work.
