Image Libraries

I seem to have come back to image libraries every so often. They usually require a lot of work on things like templates and image resizing engines for obvious reasons. My first one was when I started in 2000 and then later a big project in 2012

Artworklife

Circa 2012 - 2013, this was a huge project for women’s art held by Greenwich University. It was a freelance project for a lecturer who wanted to make the art available by non linear means, like keywords, interactive multimedia and so on. When I say large, it was certainly the biggest website project I had ever done - in its entirety. I made almost everything on the site, design and technical build. It was made in a PHP framework called Kohana, including admin system - which was fairly basic. The frontend was made using HTML, CSS, Javascript and some Flash actionscript. All the graphics were built in Photoshop and Illustrator if needed.

Brightonarts

This was one of the first projects I worked on, when I was not long in Brighton. A friend wanted to build a website that sold local artists work, and he asked me to make the website and work on some designs for it as well as some printed material. Most of the website was built in then Dreamweaver using HTML/CSS and some JS, and the graphics were all done in Photoshop. Any print work would have been done in Quark. The most interesting part of this project was using the architecture in and around Brighton, as can be seen including the road tunnel on the way into Brighton from the west. At the height of the project there were upwards of a thousand artworks listed, all of which were done without use of a database.

Freelance project

This was I think the very first commercial project I ever worked on, circa 2000 in Brighton for a small design agency. Just a couple of pages from a stock photo gallery advertising a group of images. Work in HTML / CSS / JS and some graphics editing.
