The MatriX Files

The MatriX Files is a blog for the CEO of my company, Matrix Group International. This blog has been in the works for quite a while. It is definitely hard to do internal projects when you have so many client projects going on.

The blog is powered by WordPress, and uses multiple loops and custom fields. Since the blog takes advantage of PNGs, it uses the Dean Edwards’ IE7 scripts.

My role in this project was to slice the design and implement the blog. I also utilized jQuery to make the favorites in the sidebar a little more interesting using previous and next links to read them, but the CEO nixed it and elected to just display them. I’m hoping that I will be able to add it back in later. I also used jQuery to show the share this options when you click on the share link associated with each blog post.

Quick and Easy Flash Prototypes
"To tackle the classic 'how to prototype rich interactions' problem, I developed a process for translating static screen designs (from wireframes to visual comps) into interactive experiences using Flash. Requiring some fairly basic ActionScript knowledge, these prototypes proved to be a quick yet powerful way to bring interaction designs to life."
