Digital Coast

04 Jul 2008 | no comments »

Another NOAA site, this time for the Center’s Digital Coast initiative. I am moderatley happy with this design. It has only been launched for a week or so at this point, but I am already working on some different things I want to do with it for v2 and 3. I think the surrounding elements are good, but it is weak in the content area, mostly because that was a moving target throughout most of development. Hopefully the changes I have in mind will take this from good to great.

Redesign of my employeer. This took well over six months to go from concept to production, and as with most government organizations, had to have quite a few people sign off on it. It was a significant visual upgrade from all of the previous designs. Though it has only been out there for less than a year, we are already working on redoing some pieces of it.

Menu on the right again. My first application of such a thing that would actually hit the streets. Again, this is run with Joomla, and I actually took the time to pull out a lot of the table code (Joomla 1.0.x) so I could design purely in CSS.

Looking at my web design work up to this one, I would say that they can be grouped into a “drop shadow” phase, and this marks the beginning of my “gradient” phase. I really like the way this website turned out (running Joomla underneith). I was especially proud of the “baseball card” pictures at the top, and how well the logo looks behind the girls.

My wife was part of this organization, and my mother-in-law still runs it, so they get design work for free. Most design folks don’t particularly like this logo, but I did my research into logos of other cheerleading groups, and it really does fit well. We went through years of various logos before finally settling on this one, which was the first time I had looked at it since being in school. Funny what an education can do for you.
