Website for Non-profit Organization

http://lifelongbreakfast.org

I made website for non-profit organization call Lifelong AIDS Alliance that is located in Capital Hill area of Seattle Washington. It is great organization that is "committed to preventing the spread of HIV, and to providing practical support services and advocating for those whose lives are affected by HIV and AIDS."

This was Annual Benefit Breakfast event they started last year and I am so glad I could help them create this website for the event. 2011 event was in past April, so some of buttons on the website may not function right now (I took some links out, so people cannot fill some of forms), but this site is still available if you are interested in visiting there. This was done a little while ago and it is my very first website I worked start to finish, so I know there are so many parts need to be fixed in the site. I am still learning:)

Web Hosting Services Shopping

I have finally started looking for my Web hosting service company. I have never bought one for myself, but I really should have one as web designer. I have mentioned few times in my blog postings that I'm taking portfolio class right now. I have to create, code, and publish my own website with my own domain name onto my own server. It is one of many requirement to pass this class. I have started creating my site, and will be up withing next 5 weeks or so. I'll post the project and website here soon.

I don't know much about Web hosting companies, but I am thinking about getting one from one of these companies:

• HostMonster
• BlueHost
• DreamHost
• FatCow
  

These are some of the sites where you can find ranking of good and cheap Web hosts:

www.webhostingmasters.com

If you have some suggestions and recommendations, please let me know!

Photography for My Microsite Project ~part2~

I have posted three images of my addiction series. I used Barbie dolls to show how addictions could become large issue, and affect on human life. Huge addictions are taking over these small dolls as human who are powerless.

AND my new project using these images (I probably not using the last image of this page) to create microsite/minisite. I am working on coding the site right now, and will be posting the project soon.

From Wikipedia:
"A microsite, also known as a minisite or weblet, is an Internet web design term referring to an individual web page or cluster of pages which are meant to function as an auxiliary supplement to a primary website. The microsite's main landing page most likely has its own domain name or subdomain."

Photography: Food is art too 1 & 2

Something had been wrong with blogspot. I lost two posting from past a couple days when I woke up today! I don't know if I remember everything I wrote for this post, but I will try to write same:)

I think photography is one of my favorite type of art. I really enjoy looking at them and I would love to be better at taking them. I also believe food is art, and we enjoy looking at good food and eating them as well, of course.
I have a image gallery project with theme, and I decided to take photos of food I create. I am not professional on either one of them, but this combination would make my project fun. I have to start taking some photos to get better at it too:)

Magazine Layout: Jojoba Oil

This is the magazine layout I have done as my project few month ago. All the images are from stock photos, and information about jojoba oil is from internet. I have designed all the logos, titles and all other layout of this two page spread.



This was done in Adobe InDesign that is very good software to use when you are working on something like magazine layout and other typographic related work.

I wanted to post this layout as work I have done, but I also wanted to share the jojoba oil because I use this for my skins everyday and I would highly recommend to others:)

Photography: Absolut Vodka Advertise

Some of you are familiar with Absolut Vodka advertise campaigns (if not, you could visit their website and check it out).
This was done in one of my classes I have taken 2-3 years ago. Everyone had to come up with one concept something to do with the year 2009 when I took the class.
I decided to do "Absolut Analog" because all the analog would be gone in that year.

These are the images I used to create this in Adobe Photoshop:


Well, real reason why I posted this old project was that I decided to use one the image I used here in my new project:) I'll post the new project near future!
