Mercury Studios

Description: For another one of my classes this last year, we were put the task of creating a website in flash. With a team of two others we designed and coded a redesign of a medical and business consulting company, Lifecare Systems of New England, LLC. The original website was built in HTML, but to complete the assignment we had to use Adobe Flash and ActionScript 3.0 to create a website with multiple pages and externally loading content.

Description: For this design class project we created three poster sized images based around a single word with two words in it. Each poster was to represent a category, Text and Image, and then the third was to combine the two. My word was blackmail (comprised of black and mail). I used black for the Text themed poster, mail for the Image themed poster then blackmail represented the Text and Image combination.

Description: For my major class this year we were to create a shopping website. We choose a product to sell and created a product gallery, paypal buy feature, video advertisement, integrated flash video and working feedback page. I Used javascript and Flash to create some of the more advanced features of the site, yet had an option for those without Flash or JavaScript. My website sells video games from all generations. Note: no products are buyable.

Description: For my design class we created a fake company out of a random selection of word, my words consisting of backpack blue red lazy and house. Out of that came lazy red homes a custom house building business for which I created this logo. Looking to emphasize elegance and structure in this logo I used slim, yet blocky lettering for my fonts. Next we had use our logos to create a system of items for our company. I created a bussines card, envolope, letterhead, folder, brochure, van and hard hat (some of which are pictured).

Description:Version 3 of Mercury Studios presented the content of the newly termed Mercury Studios in its first HTML iteration. I had been using HTML is passing through the years (to hold to previous Flash sites and movies) but only at this point in time had truly come to use HTML and CSS. While trying to aim for a Silvery/Black color scheme, the site came out too dark and was later redesigned for that reason. The site contains much the same content as it does nowadays, and was organized pretty concisely for a fairly clean look. (Links to flash movies will open pages, not flash content—all movies can be located on current site).

Description: For my final of my first web design class I created this website that is all about the players of Manchester United. United Playa’s had to conform to as many of the design features we had learnt throughout the semester. Including all of the players from the time of creation this project was probably bigger than I expected it to be, but the coding on the other hand was pretty simple.
