PORTFOLIO

Project

InterANTARCTICA, 2009 - 2010Programming + data visualization

Description

The exhibition required a programmer + designer to produce a visualization using greenhouse emission data.

The graphics were projected onto the table, and had to accurately represent the emissions production of various industrial sectors. The system also responded to data input from visitors touching the perspex sculptures.

More information can be found at:http://www.interantarctica.com/

Project

Ozzy Tyres, 2010Advertisment - banner

Description

The brief consisted of a sketch of the desired layout, and instructions to maintain consistency with the visual aesthetics of the company catalogue.

The banner is to be used as advertising material, placed in the reception and yards of car dealerships.

Project

Reality Blue, 2010Layout design & mobile app

Description

The client wanted a dynamic, flexible digital menu to replace their paper menus. The menu was to be run on the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

The User Interface was developed from information, usability, needs and requirements collected directly from customers, as well as a user evaluation of the initial prototype.

Two layouts are shown here; the main menu, and individual detail on a menu item.

Project

University of Sydney, 2010Website development

Description

The research project required a website that was capable of generating a dynamic survey from a database, saving each response and using the collected data to generate a real-time data visualization.

The website was later used to collect and display data at both the University of Sydney and University of Technology, Sydney.

Project

11ELEVEN ProjectWebsite development

Description

The 11ELEVEN project is an international project aimed at raising awareness of, and working towards, the UN Millenium Goals.

The website is an alternative design being developed in accordance with the director of the project, and seeks to combine a recurring theme of hexagons, with a sense of human unity, inherent to the design elements, rather than the content.

The website is an ongoing development that will be added to as additional content is obtained.

Project

Graphic Design course, 2008Magazine layout

Description
