My Projects
Description
This webpage was created as a class project with the assistance of four other students and serves as a template of what our client envisioned for their service. All the images, including the logo was provided by the client. The purpose of the website was to give anyone the ability to teach or train someone in a specific area and earn money for it. The client's goal was to provide an array of online videos on a multitude of topics that people could search for to become more educated about the topic of their desire. If a video about a certain topic does not already exist, a knowledgeable individual can create his or her own video and earn money. The idea was well thought-out, unique, and different, which is the reason our team chose this for our class project. However, the site was never launched because the client that we created the site for was unable to provide necessary materials (i.e., individual learners/teachers information, videos, images, etc). Our client was also a student so, that could have played an important part as to why we did not have everything required to make it fully functional. Essentially, our client's mission was to view their idea as a website. We believe that, at the completion of our project, we accomplished our goal by providing them with an excellent starting point.

This webpage page was created as a group project for my Advanced Web Interfaces course. Our professor provided us with all the content and requested a single page site. We created a sitemap beforehand to gain an understanding towards how we were going to place certain elements on the page and to figure out how we were going to fit it all in a single page. When a link in the navigation menu is clicked, the browser window scrolls down to a specific section of the page rather than redirecting to a completely seperate html page. We organized the information based off of what would be significant to a viewer, from most important to least.

Eagles Food was one of the very first websites that I created and, believe or not, the client was my older brother. All the images (background, bird logo, icons, and Eagles Food banner) were all provided by him. The Eagle logo was actually hand-drawn by him. He attended Tennessee Tech, at the time, and grew tired of being limited to only ordering food from a few restaurants. Students mostly were limited to pickup rather than delivery services. Cookeville is a very small town. My brother sat and thought...What if he was sick or too tired to get in the car and drive to the restaurant to place an order? What if he was out of gas? What if his car was out of commission at the moment but he still really wanted food from a certain restaurant? My brother considered the possibility that many other students may be facing or will face this dilemma eventually during their college term and decided to start a delivery service of his own. The site provided menus of restaurants in Cookeville that customers could review before placing their order. Instead of ordering directly from the restaurant, the customer would call my brother's delivery service and place their order from the restaurant of choice. My brother or one of his drivers would transfer the order to the restaurant in their stead. Of course there's a delivery and transaction fee but, people were more than happy to pay for the convenience of Eagles Food service. When my brother graduated and left Tennessee, he closed his business and took down the site as well. The space where the "News Feed" icon rests is where the Twitter newsfeed widget was for the business. Because his delivery business no longer exists, the social media pages that were made along with it were also taken down, leaving the newsfeed space empty.

Fashion Week Atlanta came into existence due to the fact that other places, such as New York, Paris, London and Italy, all had their own Fashion Week events. My client wanted to bring Fashion Week to Georgia so he chose to attempt to center its focus in the biggest, most popular city he could think of: Atlanta. The purpose behind Fashion Week was to have different models wearing multiple different types of clothing and styles from a variety of designer's collections. The client who I created the site for wanted to gather his own designers and models to start his own clothing trade show and make it a huge success, creating yet another reason for someone to want to visit Atlanta and have his name out there as the one who made it all happen. To assist in making this dream into a reality, I single-handedly made this site for him to spread word about the project in development and to give potential designers and models a website to view to see what Fashion Week Atlanta was all about and what my client wanted to achieve in making it happen. My client provided me with the images, the logo included, that were used on the page. However, later on, he admitted that he did not have the resources he needed and found it quite difficult to gather designers and models for an event that very few people had ever heard of and with little support to start off with. In the end, to my dismay, he decided to abandon "Bring Fashion Week to Atlanta" dream and shared the news with the few designers and models he did successfully gather. Everyone that took part in helping in the effort of bringing Fashion Week to Atlanta departed and went their separate ways, resulting in the site and Twitter page being taken down and a great project discontinued.Languages Utilized

Green Earth Technologies was my very first in-class group website. My team consisted of four individuals and we all worked together on the site and building it from the ground up. Our professor assigned the client and gave a brief description of what our client wanted. The purpose of the site was to provide a webpage for our client to both advertise and explain the different lawn care services he offers. We set up meetings with our client to show him our sitemap and how we intended on laying the content out on the site. The client provided us with the images used in the slideshow on the homepage and a written notes detailing the types of lawn care services he performs. One unique thing about this site is that the page's color scheme directly derived from the logo. We wanted to make most of the site green since it centered around grass and shrubbery. While thinking of the perfect shades of green to use, we considered the possibility of using the shades from the logo. We gave the logo and the body content of the page its own white background and surrounded these sections with an inner dark shade of green to server as the content's borders and a lighter shade of green as the page's full background. In the end, the site was a success and our client was happy with how we organized his content. However, our client only hosted it for a brief period of time.

This site is a bit different from the rest of my projects when it comes to the reason behind why it was created. The site was not produced for a client, but rather for a submission as a final project in one of my Technical Writing courses. I discussed the possibility of redesigning Bulloch County's animal shelter site as my final project with my professor and he approved of it. Dreamweaver was primarily used for creating the navigational menu, the rest of the site was done with Notepad++. The purpose of the final project was to utilize and discuss certain design rules called Gestalt principles. These principles were used in deciding element placement, color scheme, font, and text styles for the site. For example, the way I laid out the logo and the images on the sides of it was based off a Gestalt principle called the Rule of Thirds.
