From Chicago

ESTABLISHED 1996
My name is Nic Rotondo and I've been designing art commercially, under the banner Optiflux, for 25 years now. This site is sprawling, akin to an imagination. It acts as scaffolding for me to curate and display the art I make, and can make for you. Optiflux has quite a history, click through here for the whole story.

Sometimes not knowing what you’re doing can be the best way to create something original.

Diggin' deep into the hard drives to gather these projects all in one place has been much fun. Branding, Logos, Posters, Web Ads, Packaging, T-Shirts, Motion Graphics & Video. Plus, Photography throughout, my perpetual hobby. Have a look around, and thanks for coming.

Home to the websites we make.

When Version One of Optiflux.com came online in December of ‘96, the internet was a completely different place. In that era of dial-up modems, before the corporate overlords would ride bandwidth to scale the internet to infinity and beyond, websites were special places, destinations. We emblazoned ours a WebOutpost, a place to linger, have a look around.
Visit the webOutpost
These four sites are special. We call them the satellite sites. They exist with bespoke designs on their own domains, yet should be considered extensions of the primary Optiflux.com site you’re on right now.
Chicago Dusk 'til Dawn

A love letter to the city, this project unites the cartography of Chicago with images of seldom captured corners of our town.
