FireBooth (WIP) - August 2008
This design is a work in progress for a new web hosting company called FireBooth. The company offer web hosting, domains, add-on features and much more.
I have carried through the colours from the company logo onto the rest of the web page design, this includes images and text styles.
The majority of the web design has been produced in Photoshop however After Effects was also used to produce the blue image which occupies the header space.
Once information of domains has been provided the next stage will be converting the design into xHTML and CSS.
Please click the image if you would like to see a larger version of the design.

The IT Bible - July 2007 (Ongoing)
I am working on this project in collaboration with a friend.
This project is ongoing and aims to aid users with problems they may encounter when using the net. It is also a good place for new users to view hints and tips about good uses for the internet.
The site is currently under construction but aims to cover the following areas: Broadband; Security; Home Photography (Image Hosting); Online Communications.
When constructing the site I produced two style sheets so that the website can be viewed in both Firefox and Internet Explorer without massive deformation of the page layout which is still a common problem with many websites.
Over the next few weeks/months I will be updating the site with hint, tips, tutorials and walkthroughs.

Panda Airways (PHP and MySQL) - May 2007
For my Information Management module I had to produce a database driven website for a small airline company called 'Panda Airways'.
I first started by working out all the things that were needed to arrange a flight schedule, this included, the planes, airports, ticket classes, dates, times etc. By using a relational database I linked these tables together through the use of Primary and Foreign keys, which allowed multiple schedule types, without the need to type in every single different alternative.
The front-end website needed to allow users to be able to search and book flights, and so I spent quite a lot of time creating validation catches, as well as a user login system that used PHP Session Control.
I also made the site so that if an administrative user logged in, they could edit certain elements of the database without having to do it through Command Prompt, i.e. they could add/remove schedules. A benefit of this was that they could see what information was being entered into foreign key attributes, rather than just typing in a refering number.

Centre for Internet Computing (SMIL Presentation) - March 2006
This SMIL Presentation was made as part of an assessment for my Creative Media Technology module, which focused on modern technologies used to get information across different platforms.
For the presentation I had to advertise a certain area of the University and based mine around the labs used for Internet Computing. The presentation also had to be two minutes in length maximum and be smaller than 2.3MB. We had previously learnt about file saving, using various compression techniques on sound, image and video files.
I also tried to keep the colour scheme similar to that of the University banner, which is shown in the presentation to the top left.

Java Library System - March 2006
As well as the art side of my course, there is also a programming side, in which I learnt Object Orientated Programming in the Java language.
For the assigment we had to create a shopping basket style system for a library or book retailer, in which users could register/login etc and search/find and order books. The system also had to remember the users details so that once the application was closed, the next time they used it, the information would still be there.
Text files were used to store information, there was one for the catalogue of books, and then each user upon registering would generate their own text file.
As for the presentation of the system, there wasn't much I could do due to the fact it was run in Command Prompt. However I tried to layout everything nice and neatly to make it easier for the user, which can be seen in the image shown.
