Welcome to my recent samples. Here I you can see a bit of
what I've done in the past few months. Some work will not
have an online link due to client restrictions but I'll give
you the best of what I have so far. Soon this site will be retired and I will be moving everything over to my new domain. I'll keep this one up for a while before forwarding on to my new site.
And if your looking for my journal, it's moved to iam.cell7.org also, you can find my writings at www.mediaextra.net.
Some older projects
stardup (pronounced start-up)
Okay, this was a project aimed to poke fun at designer/developers like myself. The design theory of today's internet is based on slick graphics and names, so why not jump on the bandwagon to try to tip it over a little bit. I employed some javascript easing and hidden divs to accomplish this site. Read up and have fun, it's meant for amusement.
Country Lane Woods II
Residents of Countrylane Woods II approached me to help their efforts to push information to fellow residents regarding the rising cost of the yearly homeowner fees. The goal was to create an efficient base where current residents could get all the facts about the neighborhood charter and get to make an educated decision based on the information. The efforts to date have helped homeowners change the neighborhood charter to better reflect their concerns. The result was achieved by giving the residents of Countrylane Woods II the voice needed to make a difference in their community.
Focal Partners
Atlanta based design company Focal Partners expressed a need for a face on the internet. The goal was to take a recent logo redesign and create a look that would compliment their brand.
ASAP Banners
ASAP Banners is an eCommerce project that allows a user to design their own banner/sign. The backend is powered by Miva (not my first choice) and I was responsible for design as well as implementing a simple checkout workflow for ordering products.
The HEARTWOOD Group
This site is still under construction, awaiting content from the site owner in order to make it live. With a graphic of a cutaway tree handed over I had to come up with a simple yet effective look and feel to help cultivate a brand.
Bar Thugs
A local Nightlife and Bar review site for Saint Louis. Build a custom CMS for the reviewers to log in and add or edit articles without any scripting knowledge. The team of writers seems to have taken a hiatus but I'm sure will be active again shortly.
Leadership Alliance
The goal for Leadership Alliance was simply to build a site around a flash intro (and build the flash intro based on a single background). They were very pleased with the work and fed me content without rapidly to put into place. This was one of my first Non-Spec projects.
SuperParking
SuperParking was a Flash/Database project where the company could easily update their online special promotions while retaining a clean and uniform web presence.
My Skillset
CSS, XHTML/Standards, PHP, MySQL and Javascript. Software
used Adobe CS3 Suite, Terminal, Coda,
SubEthaEdit, CSSEdit 2 built on a mac.
