IMP Movie Reviews

IMP Movie Reviews

A site design for the mock movie review website, IMP Movie Reviews. The color palette and imagery chosen was designed to reflect the movie going experience (red curtains, popcorn, etc). The layout and user experience was designed after other movie related websites, such as IMDb and Netflix. Logo was provided.

Tools Used: Photoshop CS3

Web site designed and coded for the gaming webcomic, Game Boyz. The color scheme was derived from oft-used colors in the comic itself, while the layout and user experience was based off of standards set forth in other, popular web comic sites. All aspects of the site, including logo and the backend engine, were designed and created by me.

Tools used: Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3 PHP/MySQL, XHTML/CSS

We bring you... dxprog media!

After a month of crazy coding and hard work, I unveil to the world dxprog media! dxprog media is, for all intents and purposes, just a front for myself and my work.

Speaking of my work, be sure to check out the brand new portfolio section. It\'s a little sparse now, but I will be filling it out with all my best work over the next few days. I encourage you to re-check out my motion graphics projects there as they are encoded in much higher quality than the YouTube versions (and it\'s the only place you\'ll be able to see the corrected Crayola Commercial) . Also, you get to use my snazzy new video player (written entirely in Flex).

Of course, the blog got a couple needed updates as well. Down at the bottom of the page you\'ll notice page navigation. This is across the board for general viewing, viewing tags, and the archives. Another thing to get the page treatment was the entry comments. There\'s only really one entry that can benefit from this update right now, but I hope to gain some more viewers by shifting my posts more towards industry related topics and some tutorials. Originally I was going to intersperse tweets between the posts but decided ultimately against it.

So, there it is. The site looks more awesome than ever and I\'m hoping to bring some new sweet, juicy content to everybody. So, bookmark the site or add the feed to your favorite RSS reader and prepare for a new era of dxprog!

It is the eve of the beginning of my PHP/MySQL class. Of course, we should all know by now that CMS programming is child's play for me. However, seeing as my final project for this class is a CMS with front end, I'm taking this opportunity to redesign stuff, and by stuff I mean everthing (even beyond the site itself). Some things to expect from the next iteration:

  • Twitter integration on blog page
  • A proper portfolio
  • Accross the board branding
  • Page navigation
  • Probably more as I think of it

If my rebrand goes as well as I hope, I shouldn't be updating the design for some time. Geez, we haven't heard that before, have we?
