So a couple of days ago, Thursday to be exact, I had to compile a little showcase of sorts of some of the work done by the group that I work for, the Design Research & Informatics Lab at Mississippi State University. It was for accreditation purposes in the College of Architecture, Art + Design. I spent about 2 hours on it, taking screenshots of the various websites that we’ve done—some of them, not all of them—and I figured I’d share it with any possible readers of this here blog.
Check out the DRIL Project Showcase [PDF]
I’m the one on the far right on the first page, btw.
The designs that I did (other than the entire showcase PDF) are:
- Monroe County, Mississippi (Go Monroe) - this one unfortunately didn’t turn out how I would have liked; I was asked to add in too many links when I wanted to keep things simple and organized. But this design was originally done by another on our team, and I had to re-work it. (Not yet launched)
- Boys & Girls Clubs of the Golden Triangle – this one was done on a very limited budget, so it’s very, very simple. The local B&GCs have been struggling financially so they didn’t have the funds for a better one I suppose. (Not yet launched)
- Injury Mechanics Laboratory – I like how this one turned out, there are some issues I’d still work with on it (not happy with the footer for instance), but overall pretty good.
- Chickasaw County Development Foundation – I love the concept for this one, but my execution of it wasn’t that great. I was just beginning to really learn to use Illustrator when I did this, during my last semester of grad school. Not quite on the same level as my traditional illustration skills yet. They are going with another design anyway, but I plan to continue to work on this for the portfolio.
- Form Trainer – Now this one I am exceptionally proud of. I know there are some issues with it too, but this is the best site I’ve done so far, by far. It was very difficult for me to do also considering I had to integrate it in some way with the Yahoo! Stores platform. I never got the hang of RTML or whatever it’s called, so I ended up using their “store tags” instead.
So yeah. There’s a sampling of some of my web work. Still got a lot to learn and a long way to go, but I’m enjoying it every step of the way!
