A Couple of New Websites July 11, 2008
I’ve recently been working on a few projects both at work and in my free time, and I finally get to show them to you guys! This is the first bit of new work I’ve been able to post on the website in awhile. There’s a lot more coming that I’m really proud of, but I haven’t been able to post it yet for various reasons. Alas…
The first project was through my job at Morsekode. One of our clients is Minnesota Teen Challenge, a faith-based drug and alchohol residential program. This year to raise some money they are sponsoring the Twin Cities Freedom Ride. It’s basically a motorcycle ride where you can raise funds and then all meet at the metrodome for a rally. My art director, Paul Afong, did the logo. Then I started on the website, but he finished it and a programmer helped us get it online. As the final touch I worked on the flash intro that you see at the beginning when you first visit the website. Overall, a very fun project. Check it out.
The second project was for an organization that my sister-in-law is helping to start named Oasis for Orphans. A group of people from their church has paired together with an orphanage in Keya, Africa. They came to me with a half-completed website design which I took and improved upon, mostly only keeping their banner graphic and structure. In order to take them to the next level and help them to not depend on me for changes to their site I set up Frog CMS, and Zenphoto to manage their photo gallery. They’re very excited about it. Check it out.
