AiTO - Artists in Toronto | Campaign Assignment
The main focus for this assignment was to promote Toronto and to give travelling artists around the world reasons to want to visit, and hopefully move to Toronto. The most important aspects of this assignment were to design the branding for our campaign company, as well as to get out there and promote our campaign via social networking. The layout was designed mainly by my partner who used Photoshop, and created by me in Dreamweaver using HTML/CSS, and JQuery. The Twitter background, the 2 logos, and other stationery for this campaign were designed by me using Photoshop
The Dress Whites | Band Site
This is a site idea which I created for The Dress Whites which was primarily designed and created using XHTML/CSS, with some details which were created in Photoshop. The main idea was to give them an online presence which would help them to lure in more fans, and play more shows. Two great features which I added are the photo gallery which uses Lightbox, and the contact form which uses PHP.
Flower Shoppe | JavaScript Site with Validation Form
For this assignment, I was expected to create a site containing specific features run by JavaScript, such as: an image slideshow, image rollovers, a pop-up window, and a form which validates for correctly entered information. In completing these tasks, I also had to somehow incorporate an IF statement, a FOR loop and a WHILE loop. Although the design was not important for this project, I managed to quickly design something in Photoshop.
Staples Copy & Print | PHP Validation Form
This project consisted of a one page PHP Validation Form. To do this, I had to create the possible error messages, and restrictions for each field, then create the form which the user must fill in correctly. The images are © by Staples Business Depot, and I coded them into place with XHTML/CSS.
Harmony Cafe | Group Assignment
This was the first fully-functional website I had to create with a group. We chose to create a website for a fictional Cafe. For this project, I was responsible for the design, the branding, a Flash banner (as seen on the "snacks" page), photo manipulation using Photoshop (as seen on the "shop online" page), the coding using XHTML/CSS and JavaScript.
Healthpops | Group Assignment
For this project, my group and I created a site for a fictional Popsicle brand called "Healthpops!". I was responsible for earlier versions on the final layout, and the final touches on the logo created in Photoshop and Illustrator, the fictional merchandise on display in the "Shop" section also created in Photoshop, some content, as well as the JavaScript contact form, rollovers and popups throughout the site.
Jennifer Abadesso | Album Art
I was lucky enough to design singer/songwriter Jennifer Abadesso's album art for her upcoming album Exposé. While Ian Brown deserves credit for his stunning photography, all of the designing was done by me using Photoshop and Illustrator.
Toronto Renewable Energy Co-operative | Logos
While interning at Trioro in my final semester of school, I was asked to design logo ideas for Toronto Renewable Energy Co-Operative (TREC) and their 5 related websites. TREC is a non-profit, co-operative, environmental organization, who use the web to reach out to people and make our world a greener place. I used Illustrator and Photoshop to design these logos.
Felice Fawn Photography | Gallery Site
Final Flash assignment from first year. We were to contact a photographer and create a mock portfolio gallery site for him/her. I chose the extremely, talented Felice Fawn. The design was created in Photoshop, and the animation effects were done using Action Script 3 in Flash.
A Match for the Curious | Band Site
For this project, my group and I were expcted to contact a local talent, and create a professional website for them. We chose to create a Flash based website for Toronto's AMFTC - A Match for the Curious. I was the main Project Manager, and my duties were to find our client and keep in contact with them to plan our meetings and obtain content. I was also responsible for earlier stages of the main layout created in Photoshop, as well as the "Shop" section which was created in Flash and embedded into the final product. I also created the merchandise found in the Shop using Photoshop, and the PHP order form which, in the future, will link to the bands paypal account.
Let's Lumos | Band Site
This band site for Let's Lumos was designed in Photoshop and coded strictly using AS3, with a few timeline animations. Each page of content is an external swf which was loaded in, and the weather feed on the "Shows" page uses XML. The contact form was coded using AS3 and uses PHP to submit.
Lego Creator | Interactive Mini Site for Kids
This was a fun school project which I designed in Photoshop and animated in Flash. The purpose was to create a mini site for a specific Lego Toy which teaches kids how to build it. There is a "Watch" section which features an animation of the toy being built in sequence, and there is a "Build" section, which allows the kids to put it together by dragging and dropping the pieces into place, which was coded with Action Script 3. And YES! I did cut each and every one of those pieces out using the pen tool. :)
Custom Music Player
For this project, I was to create a custom skin using Photoshop, and then stream the videos, and code each of the control buttons using Action Script 3 in Flash.
Personal Page | Online Bio
This was my first Flex assignment, for which I was expected to create a multi-state Personal Page, aka an online biography. I used Tour de Flex to help in creating the CSS styles, and coded the usability and transitions with the programs internal version of Action Script.
U R Designs | Flex Inspirational Showcase
One of the first sites I've made using Adobe Flex. We were to create a site which showcases inspirational works for designers alike. The design was created in Photoshop, and the information and images for each site are populated by an XML file, and the transitions and effects were done with action script.
Media Player | Desktop Application
This was the final project for my Flex class, for which I was expected to create a downloadable desktop Air application, which allows the user to view and/or display content (ie. music, pictures and videos) straight off of their desktop. The main thumbnails are called in using an XML file which is uploaded to my website. I designed the floating application in Photoshop, and coded it using the programs internal version of Action Script.
My Neighbourhood "Changes" | Short Film
For my final video assignment in first year, I was to film, edit and produce a short film about my neighbourhood. With an extra hand from a friend, I filmed various scenes around my neighbourhood, and then edited the raw footage using Final Cut Pro. The voiceover and background music were recorded and edited using Audition 3.0, and the final product was burned to a DVD using iDVD.
