Much of my web experience while working with MSUM focuses around mnstate.edu, the web presence of Minnesota State University Mooread. My roles have been all over the board including designing pages and images, hard coding html, css, and cold fusion with the occasional PHP work. I have also worked on several sites implementing flash, javascript, and other similar technologies.
In addition to creating and maintaining these webs, I have also played a large part in training employees and students to use our Content Management System and having meetings with clients to determine how they want to be represented on the web.
MSUM.com was a team effort in every sense of the word. From concept to completion it was built by several people. My main involvement in the project was to take the design from our designer and make it all work. By utilizing CSS, HTML, javascript, some flash, web video management, frame displays, and cross-browser functionality, I played my role in bringing MSUM’s new recruiting tool to fruition.
The web for Persistence of Vision was a part of my capstone project in Graphic Communications. My goal was to create a web presence for my capstone project in Film Studies, Persistence of Vision.
In the creation of this site and it’s components, I utilized CSS, HTML, some javascript, Photoshop Image creation and manipulation as well as video editing
Pinching Penny is a feature film that is in development. I created a wordpress presence on my own site so that those involved may stay up to date with any production information and news. This process implemented knowledge of CSS and HTML, being able to understand PHP, working with SQL, and integrating other technologies into the WordPress system.
This is a design created for the MSUM soccer team several years ago. Current site is not entirely the same as I had created.
MSUM Points of Pride was a web created to showcase student, faculty, staff, and community achievement accomplished by the university. I worked on designing the layout of the page as well as the headers and making everything work (css, html, and some flash)
Site Redesign for The North Dakota School Nurses Organization. (Site still in process)
Pinching Penny is a feature film written and directed by Dan Glaser. I created this site for the film with the goal of helping promote the film.
Site Re-Design for The Part Time Rockstars band. Took PSD design and turned it into a functional site using HTML, CSS, JQuery, js, and a little flash. Also utilizes CushyCMS content management system for easy updates by the client.
I was asked to create a basic site map for Regency Beauty Institute. Given the amount of links and the obvious categorization of the links, I concluded that going with a JQuery expandable list setup would make the most sense. In addition, if a user’s browser has Javascript or CSS turned off, the page is still fully functional and degrades gracefully.
Wordpress Blog setup for the MN State University Moorhead’s News system. This project required a lot of customizing wordpress, both in the template design as well as the functionality, plugins, page display, and RSS subscription capability. The site has several different feeds available and multiple ways of subscribing to those feeds.
