Custom Kicks

As I am aware this is the only real 3D application that allows a user to customise the look of their trainer.

Custom Kicks was a project that was signally the biggest piece of work that has been done to date. I wanted to create something unique and 'Flash', since 3D is a topic that is in vogue I wanted to create an interactive application using real 3D which is how Custom Kicks came about. It uses Flash AS3 and the Papervison 3D library.
Since I had very little knowledge of AS3 or the Papervision 3D library it was a big learning curve for me, which had to be done within a short period of time. I came across a lot of issues and problems that had to be resolved along the way, I guess resolving these issues shows that I am committed to my work and the application I was creating.

Take a look at the Custom Kicks application to see how awesome it is.

Simply Pizza

Simply Pizza was a freelance project that I undertook while studying my final year at university. The project was a re-design of their existing website which was outdated, both in terms of style and in programming languages.

After researching other familiar websites within the same industry as Simply Pizza I put together a colour scheme and design that represented the company. While researching the target audience the website catered for their needs, allowing the website to be functional and easily operated by even a novice user.

Simply Pizza are often coming back to me asking to update their website or to completely re-design their site to represent their new promotions they're doing within the company.

Samurai Sushi

Samurai Sushi was a Photoshop design of a website for a local sushi company. I was issued with only a wooly brief and asked to create a website based on the information that I had been given. In order to make the website represent the company I based the colour scheme on a sushi dish and combined the images into the website to give the website an overall appetising feel.

In order to reach the overall design of the website I created personas based on the target audience, scenarios based on what a user would want to achieve from the website, several mood boards that portray the image of the site and also wireframes of what the website should look like. After evaluating the wireframes and testing them with the target audience I finally reached my overall design.

St Werburghs Community Centre

The St Werburghs Community Centre website was a group project undertook by 4 students and myself. Since I didn't know any of my group members a few group building exercises were undertaken to get to know one another. This helped to bring the group together and allowed us to easily flesh out ideas to get the project rolling. I think this shows that I am able to work within a group if needed and can be a great asset to any team or project.

The project was to redesign their existing website and implement a CMS that allowed them to easily update the content on a regular basis. The project involved weekly meetings with our project host as well as meetings with the general community.

We decided to use 'Cushy CMS' to support the website as it is very easy to use and understand, also as they had no money to spend on a CMS we had to opt for a free one that best supported the clients needs.
