Design, XHTML, CSS and JavaScript

View Suga Suga

method

MACHIN are a Perth based architectural and interior design firm. They required a website that is bold and different but still keeping it clean.

View Suga Suga

method

SUGA SUGA (Budds Beach, Gold Coast) sells unique gifts and homewares. They required a website with casual elegance, large imagery, and Caribbean influences for a coastal feel.
I worked on SUGA SUGA from start to finish - commencing with the design brief to the development of the site & implementation of newsletters.

Insky shopping - css

my ingredients

XHTML, CSS, Flash animation

Insky Shopping

method

INSKY SHOPPING needed a website that resembled their printed material where each category is represented by a particular colour. As this was going to become a CMS driven website, I needed to make the colour changes simple for the programmer. I created a separate style sheet for each of the areas indicating what colour changes were required. Designer - Natalie Romanin, Programmer - Jodie Dunlop; i4U project.

Launch Pictures - Flash Website & Video

my ingredients

Flash animation, ActionScript 2, Flash video compression and streaming

Launch Pictures

method

LAUNCH PICTURES is a Gold Coast based video production company. They required interactivity and video for potential clients to view. I developed this website using Flash and ActionScript 2. I loaded external content to ease the updating process. Designer - Natalie Romanin, i4U project.

All Shade Solutions - jquery

my ingredients

Flash animation, JQuery, XHTML, CSS

All Shade Solutions

method

i4U's design for ALL SHADE SOLUTIONS was tricky in that its fixed height required an innovative solution to allow more content than allocated space allowed. I implemented JQuery to meet the site's needs. The user can continue to read without the page reloading. The image gallery was developed in a similar fashion. I also implemented the Flash menu. Designer - Natalie Romanin; i4U project.

Gympie Carvery - Logo Design

my ingredients

Design with illustrator

Gympie Carvery

method

The GYMPIE CARVERY needed a new identity to suit its new owners. Because coffee, roasts and great service are their specialty, I designed a number of different concepts for them to choose from. Each logo was created with either the brown colour or coffee icon as to fit with their theme.

iLaunch - Brochure Design

my ingredients

Design with Illustrator

iLaunchiLaunch

method

ILAUNCH's aim is to make websites easy for people who just need a cheap quick web presence. I took a friendly approach in designing their brochure by adding cartoon characters and speech bubbles. I did this so users could relate to them and quickly understand the subject of the brochure. This brochure was the basis for the design of their website. i4U project.

Desserts

Vision Scapes - jquery

my ingredients

XHTML, CSS, JQuery, Flash animation

Vision Scapes

method

i4U's design for VISION SCAPES was height restricted and therefore required a content overflow feature. By operating JQuery I allowed for the user to select proceeding content without the page reloading. Designer - Natalie Romanin; i4U project.

Adam Scott - Flash animation

my ingredients

Flash animation, ActionScript 2

adam scott

method

ADAM SCOTT is a world famous Australian golfer. The equipment component of this website required a simple visual solution to display information on each piece of equipment Adam uses. I animated the pieces as to create a more visual experience, and loaded external data to ease the update process. To view, go to the equipment page from the 'on tour' menu option. Designer - Natalie Romanin; i4U project.

Couran Cove - Flash Map

my ingredients

Flash animation, ActionScript 2

Couran Cove

method

COURAN COVE requested an interactive map of their island resort. This was so potential clients could tangibly view each area and seek additional information. I implemented the Flash animation and rollovers. I also added a scrolling function to avoid crease line issues. Website Designer - Natalie Romanin, Programmer - Trevor Zaffiro; i4U project.

This website is inspired by my small obsession with cooking and baking - from cupcakes to cookies, and other delicious treats. I couldn't resist blending web development with sweets.

A hearty dollop of XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery & Action Script 2; with one cup of Flash animation & design, and a heaped tablespoon of search engine optimisation is what I offer as a blended front-end developer!
