innovation

a sparkly web style

My portfolio site reflects the growth of my web-building skills. This one was intended to utilize CSS to an extent that I could update the color scheme easily without requiring any other changes to images or code.

 

 

student identity and portfolio

The product of my senior portfolio class, Sparkledesign was created to be my "visual personality." It has become a lasting statement of versatility, creativity, and design principles in a full spectrum from analysis to aesthetic.

The identity system includes 6 colors, shapes, and fanciful characters; these appear on stickers, a variety of business cards, resume, and print portfolio book.

 

The online portfolio showed four categories of projects: interactive, identity, imaginative, and information design.

The projects took center stage, but for curious viewers the meanings behind the icons and their representative characters were available for discovery.

 

Each project was identified with 3 of the 6 icons, to indicate which principles most strongly influenced the project.
