The Criminal Justice Intellegence Program site launched in November of 2004 with minimal content available, originally needed just for a place to provide contact information. University Relations at Michigan State University took on the project knowing that it would be a long-term arrangement. The main content of the site wasn’t ready for more than six […]
After the O6 Development site was built, I no longer needed to host my portfolio on ClarkRasmussen.com. Because that site was entirely built around my portfolio, I redesigned it as more of a portal leading to my other sites. The lack of content on the site allowed me to design around an idea that came […]
The MSU Homeland Security Certificate Program site was an extreme rush job. Our office learned of the project on a Friday and it was done by the following Friday. Because of the rushed nature of the project, we were forced to reuse a site template that we had already put into use, the template for […]
The MSU Prom/se (Promise) site was a bit of a rush job and a very disorganized project to work on. The site was built to replace a previous version that the client wasn’t happy with and was the first University Relations project for the designer involved. No time was budgeted for the job, so some […]
The site for MSU’s Judicial Administration Program was very difficult to work on dispite the simple format because the information architecture was never well thought out. As a result, the site’s design was constantly being adjusted to modify the menus. I was in charge of building the site once the original design was completed. It […]
The MA TESOL (Master of Arts, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) site for Michigan State University was built to be an online brochure providing information to students enrolled in the program and prospective students not yet enrolled. As the site was an informational site, it had to be built to be very expandable. […]
MSU’s College of Arts & Letters was the first college-level site I worked on as a staff member at University Relations. My work on the site itself was limited to helping troubleshoot the HTML and CSS that was developed by my supervisor. Additionally, I installed the Calendarix calendar software on the site. I was also […]
The August 2003 redesign of DetroitHockey.Net was mostly unnecessary but I did it anyway. I had never really liked the “edgier” design I tried to do in the November 2002 redesign and wanted to go back to a more traditional style for the site. As well, I thought that too many images were used in […]
By August 2003 I had already gotten tired of the original design for ClarkRasmussen.com that was developed in May of that year. I had never really liked the first design but I had yet to come up with a better one, so I worked out this design. There were two drastic changes. The first saw […]
I was working as a student at Michigan State University’s Division of University Relations when the campus-wide project to rebuild MSU’s website occurred. Because University Relations was involved in the redesign, I had the opportunity to work with the designers that built the new site. I did not design the site, nor did I build […]
