I've been doing some fun things with Flash to create a video player with a few twists for
The Banquet.
This is the new site of mobile gaming producer
Ojom GmbH.
I've been busy doing UI consultation for
Digital Railroad's newly-launched multi-photo-selection interface, and highly recommend this site for photo pros.
Among other things, I've also been doing some UI and art direction work on a new section of
this site, which should be visible soon.
Here are some looks back at a couple of other interesting selections from the past decade:
Fashion Internet was the first fashion site on the web (by a couple of weeks! It went up in 1995) and it was my first art direction credit. The per-page budget for this site was 30k, despite it being so graphics-intensive.
This image was printed on the NY Times Style section front page and in Wired in 1996.
@Home was the first large broadband ISP for consumers. I did the original layout and information architecture for this site in coordination with our heavy-hitter design leadership, but many people worked on it and had input into it, and the majority of the interface look came from Rucker Design in San Mateo. I coded a big chunk of the interface behavior, although there was a brilliant team who did the back end and integration and I had nothing to do with that. Along with a few other designers, I also did the daily graphic design for our feature stories, and the examples shown here (the speed skater and Ryuichi Sakamoto) are my design work, although we inherited the bold red links from our original boss, Roger Black.
Due to our closeness to Netscape and the fact that we were releasing our own modified browser, we were able to commit to CSS layout and DHTML, and as a result, this is an example of one of the earlier corporate sites using CSS sitewide. According to Netscape, it was the most complex web application that they had seen at the time (the time, in this case, being 1997).
