Waas Realty 2007
Waas Realty in Miami commissioned me to update their site with a completely new, modern look. This site gave me an opportunity to once again explore Flash animations, but also to incorporate ActionScript. Using this I was able to program a single animation that gathers which page it's on to highlight a certain tab. I also manipulated Yahoo's Weather API to display Miami's weather conditions on the main page. I created animations in the Flash movie that would read the conditions specified on the page and adapt accordingly. The result is a nifty little weather prediction hovering over the Miami skyline, with the updated logo I created. Look for the skyline to change at different times of the day, too.
I also wanted to create a way for the site to be operated outside of my control. Entries needed a quick way to be inputted onto the “Rentals” and “Sales” pages, and I didn't want the site owners to have to manipulate HTML to do so. The answer was databases. I learned how to use PHP code and MySQL to incorporate dynamic pages that change based on database content. This really opened up to me the possibilities of what a Web page can do. Check out the finished product. |

100 Years of
Gator Football 2006
For a summer internship, I took a job with
the Gainesville Sun designing a Web site for the
204-page coffee table book 100 Years of Gator
Football, published by the Sun. The
site is not yet complete, but you can preview
the 1920s section, which has most of the
information filled in. For the site, I was
able to explore Flash a great deal more, using
it to create the
scrolling animation at the top of the page,
and for the image viewing tool on the
decade home page. |

Jewish
Awareness Month 2006
I created this Web site as Director of
Interactive Services for Jewish Awareness Month
2006 at the University of Florida. I
maintained the site throughout the month,
updating as events came and went. Users
accessed it at
www.jamuf.org, though it has been taken down
since it ended. I also created the
logo for
JAM 2006, as well as a comprehensive
pamphlet
of the month's activities. |

Best Water
Solutions, Inc. 2006
As Webmaster for AdWerks, a non-profit
organization through the Ad Society at the
University of Florida, I was given the task of
creating a Web site for Best Water Solutions,
Inc. After a few weeks of planning, the site no longer became necessary, but
here is the introduction Flash I created, my
first real attempt exploring Flash animations. |

Thump Boxing
Gym / Peak Performance 2005
During Summer of 2005, I was home working in
Miami and Thump Boxing Gym expressed interest
again in creating a new Web site. During the
summer, I put together a two-toned design
accompanying the double experience of their gym.
Here is
the original completed design. |

ACCENT 2005
ACCENT Speaker's Bureau at the University of
Florida is the largest student-run speaker's
bureau in the nation. As director of interactive
services in Spring 2005, I completely renovated
the existing web site to one a bit more lively
and colorful. You can view the original site
design here,
or visit the current site, which still uses my design. |

Alpha Epsilon
Pi 2004
During my freshman year, I realized that my
fraternity didn't really have a web site. It had
the remains of some page that hadn't been tended
to in years. So I completely revamped the site,
adding all kinds of graphics and information
about our chapter of AEPi. It became a very
useful tool for our rush the following fall. You can
view the current site updated for Spring Rush
2007 at
here. |

Thump Boxing
(first effort) 2004
This site never made it to fruition. In 2004
I was asked to create a site for a client's new
gym. I designed a fresh layout and a new logo
for the gym, but the client's plans fell
through. Here
is the unfinished product, showing a bit of
potential. |

Ride for Hope 2003
Ride for Hope was an organization started by
a high school friend of mine, following the
untimely death of a student at our school, to
raise money for a scholarship fund and promote
bicycle use and safety. When we first launched
the site at the beginning of 2003, we were
greeted with thousands of hits within the first
few weeks. This was the site's
final
design, and here is how it looked while
still
in progress. |

Voteq Computers 2002
A good friend of mine in high school started
his own computer building business. With dreams
of expanding and simplifying the order process,
he asked me to design a site in 2002. With all
that we were busy doing our final years in high
school, the site never made it to the Web. It
was one I really enjoyed making, though I went
through several design options. Here's the
final design,
and here's how it looked
early
on. |

Miami Palmetto
Senior High School Clubs 2002
The administration at my high school needed
an online database of all the school's clubs.
They knew how tech savvy I was, so they asked me
to design a site with all the information on
every club. They never used the site while I was
there, but I just recently checked the school's
Web site and saw that it was there, though
somewhat modified. Here's how
my design
looked originally. Check it out at
Miami Palmetto's site. |
