oops...two missing html demos...

Zen Garden/Css Demo
Spry Insert

Flash Website

Flash Website

I was much more comfortable working in flash versus html. The html site never seemed to work quite right no matter how much time I put into it. The formatting in Dreamweaver was not as intuitive as flash.

Flash Typography poster and animation

I was not very happy with how the poster turned out for this but I feel that the animation is more successful.

my html site or "a failure from which I learned alot"

So web design is much harder than I realized it would be and Dreamweaver kind of drove me crazy. I felt like I was not ever able to actually see what something would look like and I had to nudge divs and then view in browser so often I was hating Dreamweaver by the end of this project. I know that I was not creating this in the most optimal way and I did a project that was way, way too big in scope for my first project. I actually did not create a complete site because of it's size and I spent entirely too much time trying to make a complex navigation system work that ultimately was pointless because I had designed navigation to have redundancies. I will work on a much narrower project for my flash site and I will try to have a solid basic site instead of having things in it that I don't understand (like java script) and therefore cannot troubleshoot. I am not loving web design today, but I really felt (at around 3 am) that I was understanding a few things better.

spry

We were introduced to spry navigation menus today. It was just what I needed for my website. I played around with spry accordian. I am really glad I don't have to learn java scripting this week.

PHP includes demo

Tutorial website

For this assignment we were supposed to create a site that teaches a concept from html or css. I chose thumbnail creation. It was a simple concept and I wish I had explored a little further and learned/taught about popups to demonstrate a different way of bring up the large image from the thumbnail.

Layout designs for first html site

These are the first layout designs for my first html site. I played around with some color and pattern changes but the basic layout is approximately the same. I am open to suggestions on the layout, design, colors, fonts, anything and everything.

character design for maya class

My first character design for school. I will be modeling this character, rigging it and animating it.

Introduction

I am starting an MFA in Graphic Design at Utah State University. I will be including art and design works primarily from classes, but possibly also personal projects... Just to get it out there for comment and critique.

This semester I am taking a Graphic Interface Design class (essentially a web design class where I will be learning and using html, css and flash) and a 3D animation class. I will also be working on a research project with the instructional design department (I don't think I can or will be posting any of that work)
