Blue Saber Productions ::: Project OverviewLive Metallica is the band's source for official downloads of the live shows dating back to 2004. This was a site redesign given to me to help spice up a stagnant design. All aspects of design, user experience, HTML, and CSS were handled by me while all the backend development was handled by Nugs.net.

Blue Saber Productions ::: Project OverviewCD Package design for all live downloads from the World Magnetic 08/09/10 tour. The goal was to redesign the packaging to reflect the bands latest album, Death Magnetic, and stick to the branding of the album. James Hetfield himself praised the design saying "It's awesome. It looks extremely professional and doesn't feel like a bootleg."
