- 1. SILICON VALLEY ASTRONOMY LECTURE SERIES Foothill College, along with NASA Ames Research Center, the SETI Institute, and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, sponsors a free lecture series at the Foothill College campus approximately ten times per year. Working closely with the Ames public relations team and the Foothill College School of Astronomy, we come up with imagery and text to match the lecture, and inspire student, professionals and those just curious about the wonders of space to drop by and partake in these events. The final pieces were printed in grey scale only, to save money on printing costs. James M Donald 1052 Morse Street San Jose, CA 95126 cell: 408 / 605. 7357 jmdonald@sbcglobal.net
- 2. FUTURE FLIGHT CENTRAL Grand opening package created for Future Flight Central, a NASA research facility used to simulate a wide variety of airport runway and tower configurations as well as operational environments with air traffic controllers. Package included invitation, program and giveaways such as the mug and pen. James M Donald 1052 Morse Street San Jose, CA 95126 cell: 408 / 605. 7357 jmdonald@sbcglobal.net
- 3. FEDERAL PERSONNEL PAYROLL SYSTEM In their participation of the e-gov initiative, The Human Resources Division at NASA Ames required a way to help automate personnel and payroll procedures as well as allow managers to track personnel and employee data. The FPPS web site allows the various classes of users to efficiently gather the necessary information desired easily.

- 4. NANOMATRIX, INC. NanoMatrix, Inc. is engaged in the development and marketing of sophisticated tools to create structures and features substantially smaller than a micron, in the nanotechnology field. The relatively new company desired a logo that would encompass a visual represen- tation of what the technology actually looks like. The snap shrimp design is also used on various marketing materials to identify the mechanical process of their technologies which can be found in nature.

- 5. INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL International travel is an ever growing industry. Since regulations and travel plans are changing constantly, a NASA Ames web site was created. Those who plan on trips abroad can check the International Travel web site, set up primarily for Ames civil servant travel.

- 6. INSIGHTS MAGAZINE MASTHEAD This masthead was designed for a new quarterly publication of the High Performance Computing and Communications Facility at NASA Ames Research Center. The two sectioned logo was developed to help distinguish between the two major aspects of the facility: What was currently “In” (i.e. current projects) and what could be seen coming down the pipeline in the future of the technology focusing on the fields of Computational Aerosciences, Remote Exploration and Experimentation, Earth and Space Sciences, Learning Technologies, and the NASA Research and Education Network (NREN). The design also included reworking the Table of Contents pages. James M Donald 1052 Morse Street San Jose, CA 95126 cell: 408 / 605. 7357 jmdonald@sbcglobal.net
- 7. AMES RESEARCH CENTER: CENTENNIAL OF FLIGHT / AEROEXPO IV In order to coordinate events relating to the Centennial of Flight, we created this Centennial of Flight/AeroExpo IV logo to be used on all materials, brochures and posters advertising events taking place at NASA Ames Research Center during the year-long celebration.

- 8. AMES RESEARCH CENTER 60TH ANNIVERSARY HISTORY BOOK, ATMOSPHERE OF FREEDOM NASA Ames celebrated their 60th Anniversary recently and wanted to mark the occasion with a new book filled with graphics and photographs. Each chapter starts with a collage highlighting major points in that section. James M Donald 1052 Morse Street San Jose, CA 95126 cell: 408 / 605. 7357 jmdonald@sbcglobal.net
- 9. NASA SPECIAL PUBLICATION: FLIGHT RESEARCH AT AMES, FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF AERONAUTICAL TECHNOLOGY A Special Publication for NASA Ames highlighting the research into flight technology and its advances seen at the Ames facility. Part history, part technical manual filled with over one-hundred photographs and charts, compiled in an attractive easy to read format.

- 10. 2006 CALENDAR POSTER: AMERICAN INSTITUTE AERONAUTICS AND ASTRONAUTICS This poster/calendar is intended to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), a professional society for aeronautical and aerospace engineers. The historical theme surrounds 75 years worth of events in the area of flight mechanics. The poster is intended to have an “historical feel,” be aesthetically pleasing, clearly reflect the theme of 75 years of AIAA, communicate the Atmospheric Flight Mechanics involvement in the poster development, and be informative regarding calendar dates and historical events.

- 11. LIVINGSTONE 2 POSTER LIVINGSTONE 2 model-based diagnosis software was deployed on the Earth Observing One spacecraft in 2004. Model-based health management systems can automatically detect and remediate failures in spacecraft systems and subsystems before complex problems become mission critical. Health management systems can significantly reduce system life cycle costs, boost mission efficiency, and might one day save a rover, a spacecraft, or even a human life. This poster was created to promote this software model and to recognize the creative and engineering efforts of those involved in the project.

- 12. ENDUROMAX: ATHLETE’S RESOURCE CENTER Enduromax, a new venture, needed an identity that would relate well to their clients: Athletes, professional and amateur alike. The logo needed to express the many qualities associated with athleticism: Speed, power, energy, etc...

- 13. BAY AREA TERRORISM WORKING GROUP (BATWinG) Since 1997, a collaborative effort between the FBI and the California Office of Emergency Services resulted in the formation of the Bay Area Terrorism Working Group (BATWinG). BATWinG is a forum of local, state, and federal crisis and consequence management agencies that address WMD contingency planning and training.

- 14. UNIVERSITY AFFILIATED RESEARCH CENTER (UARC) The University of California, Santa Cruz and the NASA Ames Research Center have teamed up to create the University Affiliated Research Center (UARC). This 10 year agreement will allow the UARC to conduct research under focusing on information technology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, computer science, aerospace operations, astrobiology and fundamental biology. http://uarc.ucsc.edu/ James M Donald 1052 Morse Street San Jose, CA 95126 cell: 408 / 605. 7357 jmdonald@sbcglobal.net
- 15. WHIRL MAGNET CD Whirl Magnet is a musical group comprised of world- class musicians delivering an eclectic and unique mix of music. This debut CD titled “Altered States” takes us on a journey embedded with hypnotic vocal melodies telling real stories from the perspective of singer and ex-social worker Rezac. Rezac’s calming voice is complimented by the sultry style of female vocalist Holly Arnstein. “Altered States” is a sincere blend of artistic vision and creative collaboration - something to be appreciated by music aficionados and people from all walks of life. Listening to the music and to the stories of the band’s leader, I was able to feel what he was trying to say. Deep. Dark. Mysterious. Pain. The artwork for this album was not only inspired by the musicians themselves, but by the painting “Christina’s World” by Andrew Wyeth. graphic design and direction: James Donald production: Thomas Esposito James M Donald 1052 Morse Street San Jose, CA 95126 cell: 408 / 605. 7357 jmdonald@sbcglobal.net
