Marc Whittemore Bio

Marc Whittemore began his career in Web Development in the early 90s - soon after the development of the “Bulletin Boards,” which were the first visible forms of the Web. Marc was living in Palm Springs at the time, working independently as a print designer while interning at Palm Desert Advertising Agency, ALZ Studios.

In those early years of the Web, it was considered a mind boggling success just get a “Hello World” graphic uploaded and perhaps post a few messages. Marc’s excitement at the discovery of the first animated GIFs rapidly shifted his focus from the world of print to that of the Internet and before long this brand new technological information superhighway would become the central theme of his artistic and professional life. Marc began experimenting with the design and creation of those tiny animated graphics. In spite of upload times that, by today’s standards, would have the average end user pulling their hair out in handfuls, design for the World Wide Web became his reason for getting out of bed every day.

Using a “pre-layers” version of Photoshop (2.0), and learning "Future Wave" (Flash before it was bought by Macromedia) he diligently taught himself how to hand code html, as well as how to conceptualize, design, create, and upload web sites. Marc would be the first one to tell you those early sites were “painful to look at by today's standards." This is especially true after having seen what Marc is capable of today. However, it was through those humble beginnings working in earnest he wound up paving his path to great success later on. In 1993 he received an offer to work as a Web Designer at Quarterdeck Software Company and moved to Los Angeles. Quarterdeck was known for fixing memory issues with windows 3.1, as well as for developing antivirus software before Symantec was even on the map.

The race for the web had begun and with it Marc’s career skyrocketed. Major companies all over the world were jumping on board and business began growing almost exponentially. The excitement and energy of success and the promise of untold millions were the talk of the nation and the thrill of being in the center of it all was indescribable. Marc’s background as an artist led him to the discovery that he had a flair for working within the entertainment industry and his career soon advanced from Quarterdeck to Disney Online.

Once at Disney, he was soon promoted to Art Director and worked on the Disney Radio, Disney Educational, and Disney World web sites, as well as for Disney Music, Hollywood Records, and Lyric Street Records just to name a few more. From Disney he moved to Magnet Interactive where he Art Directed Nissan Motors’ flagship web site as well as the first Quicksilver and Patagonia web sites.

Magnet Interactive led him to Universal Studios Online, where he again found himself working as Art Director on major label Music sites such as the Verve Music Group and Universal Classics, as well as Seagram’s, and Captain Morgan’s Rum, Spencer Gifts. These led to perhaps his biggest project ever; Marc put the entire Universal Back Lot Operations, its' Stages, Production, Post Production, Faux Buildings, even its Wardrobe all on a single massive interactive web site.

Marc continues to work, live, and breathe the Web. He enjoys the freedom of consulting and freelance design for a variety of major companies, artists, musicians, and online businesses. Adding to his toolkit he now designs one of a kind jewelry pieces (silversmithing). He welds. He machine shops. He sandblasts things into a stupor. He sometimes will even take things apart just to "artfully" reassemble them and see if they still work and only once he almost electrocuted himself. His eyes have stopped spinning and the twitching is almost gone now --doctors think he'll make a full recovery. He is currently in the process of restoring his Willy (1957), pictured direct left.

He is available for contract work, possible fulltime and always welcomes new opportunities for adventure in the world of the design.
