Below are my published works along with a few class assignments and other projects. Each link opens a Web site in a new window or tab.
This is a timeline of my clips that I created using the Simile Timeline documentation. It is powered by javascript pulling in an xml file.

Interactive Package with Photos / FLASH
An exercise in using photos, animation, buttons and text as well as planning and executing a longer and more complex package. I think I captured some good emotional moments in this piece, even though it doesn’t really tell a story. I wish we had been allowed to use sound for this project; I think that would have made it pretty powerful. This was a class assignment (present a “How to…”) with specific instructions.

Colors and Navigation / WEB SITE
The blue and grey screenshot is the file given to us by the professor. The green screenshot is my modification. Here we learned how to control color with CSS, design links and navigation. While the light green I used for the content background in this example looked fine on my monitor at home, I have since learned that large blocks of text are more easily read against even lighter colors across all monitors.

Published to The Undertone on 1/19/2007.
