I ran across an image of Trinity’s former website a couple of weeks ago. I found it quite interesting to see how robust our current site is, compared to what it used to be, during the days when a website was a place to go to consume information, whereas now, in the Web 2.0 age,…

The rock/fusion band, Detroit Mutant Radio, solicited my help when they wanted to "spruce up" their press kit with some simple adjustments. A new press release was "designed", based on edits provided by the band members, and from flat images, I gave the CD label and cover a cleaner look with different font. Detroit Mutant…

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdIZfsJU2b8?rel=0] Before this project, I didn’t know anything about “Urban Cowboy”. I just turned 30 yesterday, so yes, I’m a “youngster”, as the parent co-chairs of this event have resorted to calling me. I used Adobe After Effects to put Stephen’s (Head of School) face on John Travolta’s body. I then exported it into…

In this case, the client preferred digital files over DVDs, so we transferred 6 hours of VHS footage to one data disc.    

Sometimes you just don't know what to do with those pictures of inanimate objects from your beach trip. Those close-ups of sea shells seemed like such "must-haves" at the time, but who really has an interest in looking at all 50 of them in a stack of pictures from your shoe boxes? Below is a…

In preparation for its official launch, this up and coming photography business hired me for a website help session. The site is powered by WordPress, and was built by the company's owner, and I provided additional assistance, allowing her to continue managing the site independently. I provided in-depth help with the following: Redirecting the domain…

The initial plan was to make a completely separate header to use exclusively for anniversary-related events, and keep the original one for other communication. But after the Director of Communications saw the result, she decided that it’s not too…

I’ve been posting online conference sign-up sheets for the past few days, and posting all 115 on one page would require a lot of scrolling. Not ideal, especially since a lot of parents will be accessing this page from mobile devices. What I wanted was for two sections (ELD & ULD) to appear on the…

This year, Trinity celebrates its 60th Anniversary, so the Director of Communications asked me to incorporate images created in Adobe Illustrator into the Flash movies on the home page of the site. To do this, after importing the .png files (“60 years of” and the “60 Years Trinity School” graphic logo) into Flash, I converted…

I’m finally getting the hang of Yahoo! Pipes…but not without an immense amount of frustration. I won’t even mention how long it took me today to successfully create this pipe for our 5th and 6th grade students’ blogs - 115 in all. All of that goes into creating this: This is the box on Trinity’s…
