Portfolio: Digital Work

Project Work

Still shot of a flapbook spread.

I adjusted a collection of faculty snapshots and animated them in this Flash piece so students could experience online the interactive nature of a flapbook from Penn State Library Rare Books Collection.

Load a Flash file.

Done in a pinch to help our instructional designers, the challenge for me was simply rendering realistic vector dice and showing a convincing "roll".

Load a Flash file.

A small piece from a financial calculator tutorial. It plays automatically in this snip, but only with student interaction in the entire module.

This is a small, quirky animation from a much larger, much broader multimedia piece for Child Psychology 213. The instructor-writer and voice talent Jeff Parker-proposed the quirky museum have a Monty Python feel.

One of several short animations done to accompany text in the BiSci002 course.

Four samples of the landscape architecture modules. In all, 37 were created by a team of developers. These were my contribution.

A demonstration of heating water to a super-critical state.

A Second Life build.

I'm not sure where this would fit: it's my portfolio "Gallery" build in the Second Life virtual world (Penn State Isle_2, 229, 15, 27 ).

Illustration and Layout

IDealand.

Loose sketch style, but done completely in Photoshop for an iStudy cartoon series. This rainy episode is viewable in my blog.

IDealand.

A poster show example for the New Media Center conference; generated as the illustration of an instructional designer's layout.

Chromatin fiber.

The condensing of DNA into a chromosome.

Eye of Culture poster.

Poster for a university conference. The original was printed about 24" x 36".

Mont Alto campus map.

This was an early digital creation for UPub. I was getting the hang of a wacom tablet and using the "natural media" app "Painter" to get a hand drawn look.

Infectuous bad attitude.

Small one column illustration for an article on the affect on an entire office of one staff member's bad attitude.

Make Posters, win prizes.

From 2000- less is more in advertising. From here we regressed to "More is Better."

Symposium. Digital Commons.
Blogging. Symposium.

This is presented as a series of sidebar ads, but the images were actually conceived as 24" X 36" posters. They are not linked to larger versions, but instead go to their respective service pages.

Helena Maria Viramontes.

A poster for friends in the Lit Department. This was printed to sit on a stand outside of the lecture hall.

Psychology theorists.

Two of thirteen charicatures rendered in Flash for a class module. These images are of psychology theorists B.F.Skinner and Conrad Lorenz.

Octopus drawing. Scorpion drawing. Rooster drawing. Chameleon drawing.

Completely rendered in Flash for the BiSci project. Thumbnails are raster, but they're linked to vector files.

Gen Sim image.

Actually, this is a very old digital rendering. It has a place here simply because I needed something here that wasn't blue...

G F T E O logo.

I wanted this to have an "in your face" attitude... sort of. They're educators first, ya know. If the University thinks they're students and not professional educators, the University shouldn't charge full price for an education utilizing them, and should annotate degrees that are "cut-rate".
