University of Northern Iowa
http://www.uni.edu

My Role:
I did not conceive the original design but I did make some revisions to the layout and graphics. I was most responsible for taking the Photoshop file, assembling it in Fireworks, and then assembling it in Dreamweaver. I also created all the original profile graphics. My main concern was producing graphics that would be compatible across multiple browser platforms. Along with the homepage, I've also helped redesign the main UNI sub pages. This is one of the first UNI sites where we've heavily implemented cascading style sheets into the design and function of the site. I continue to redesign, convert, maintain, and update this page, main UNI sub pages, or others sites upon request. I've also helped create templates and instructions for other departments to use.

Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center

My Role:
For this site, I designed the entire look of the homepage using Fireworks, and assembled it in Dreamweaver. My redesign began last year and can be viewed at the following address: http://www.uni.edu/gbpac/index1.shtml. I was responsible for most of the front end work including the design conception, layout, and graphics. This particular version of the homepage received two awards. The first was the CASE District VI Silver Award for Excellence in Multimedia: Single Web Page, 2003. The second was the Silver Addy for Interactive Media: Web Sites Consumer, 2003.

I also designed the look of this years homepage. I continue to update several components of the site including the artists that appear on the homepage, the calendar of events, and the multimedia gallery.

UNI Alumni Association

My Role:
I did not design the look of this homepage but again was responsible for taking it from it's original design in Photoshop, to Fireworks as web acceptable graphics, and then finally in to Dreamweaver as a fully functioning web site. I also designed the look and layout of the sub pages as well as prepared all of the graphics. I continue to update content and graphics when requested. This site also received an award. It was honored with the CASE District VI Silver Award for Excellence in Alumni Web Sites, 2002.

UNI Foundation
http://www.uni-foundation.org

My Role:
I designed UNI Foundation's home page but was not responsible for the look and layout of the sub pages This particular site was one of the first I did that relied heavily on clipped-out images of people on a plain background. These images also rotate each time this page is refreshed in a browser. I was responsible for preparation of the look, layout and all of the graphics. Cascading style sheets were utilized for this site but played a minimal role as far as design was concerned. They were mostly utilized for content layout and style.

UNITE

My Role:
I was responsible for this site, pretty much in it's entirety. I conceived the look of the homepage as well as all the sub pages I designed the original layout in Fireworks and then assembled it in Dreamweaver. This was a fairly small web site as far as pages and content so most time was spent on design and layout. I continue to update content and add additional pages as requested.
