This is a site I made in 2011 for a presentation on HTML5. It summarizes the key points about the new Media Elements—specifically the audio, video, and embed elements—and the new Canvas Element. The tone of the site is informal to help the intended audience (my former classmates) who knew very little about web development to understand the large amount of complex information being showcased.
This is a community site that I built in 2010. It uses PHP/MySQL to display user-generated (dynamic) data with functionality that changes depending on whether you are looking at data associated with your account or data associated with another user's account. The site allows for fully-functioning image uploading and also has a "follow" functionality. If you would like to login an check the site out, please contact me to request login information.
This is a book database/website that I created in 2009. I used PHP and MySQL to query entered data and HTML and CSS to display the data. I created a search functionality, a database "sorting" system (which allows the user to filter the database based on genre) and a secure admin section. Site admins can add new entries with book cover art and edit/delete existing entries.
This is a resource website that I created in 2009. I used HTML and CSS to create the site. The purpose of this project was to practice my Search Engine Optimization skills using meta data, Google Analytics, Internet "copywriting" and "web advertising" to boost this site’s rating on Google. Currently, a search for "Edmonton cat lodging" on Google.ca displays my site as being the number one result.
This is a redesign of the NAIT Homepage that I created in 2009. I used the Blueprint framework to create the back-end code for this site along with jQuery elements to enhance the functionality of the homepage. CSS was used to create and style the overall look and feel of the site. All of the elements from the original NAIT Homepage were kept and utilized in this redesign to ensure that the site appeals to all of the target audiences.
I created this image in 2009 as an expression of my self and style for a printed portfolio. I used a stock photo of myself (taken by myself) as the basis for the image and added embellishments onto it. I used Adobe Illustrator to created the vector line images and used simple colour fills to complete the look. I created the arches in the image without reference images and also drew the bird and the calla lilies by hand.
This is a poster that I created for the Art Director's Club (based in New York, New York) in 2008. I used Adobe Illustrator to create the graphics–using only typographic elements–and layout the design. The overall design of the poster/graphic is based on the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island with a scaled view of the Manhattan Island skyline in the background. The logo for the Art Director’s Club has been incorporated into the graphic in the stylized flame of the Statue’s torch.
