Guest Lecture Series Part II: Web Design Before the Smartphone Era

This is Part II in a series where I’ve decided to break out a presentation over the course of several posts. I originally presented the consolidated version of this to a group of Web Design students as a guest lecturer at Philadelphia University in March 2015. These are some of the points I made during those 2 hours, based upon my experience over the last 15 years.

In this post, I’ll review the first experience I had with my company’s website redesign and my proud moments of applying a designer’s comps to pixel-perfection… back in the day before we thought about front-end performance, dynamic data “breaking” fix-width containers, SEO, accessibility, and before smartphones and tablets!Continue Reading →

Want to know how to display videos in a responsive layout? Blizzard started doing that pretty well. They just added Overwatch to their launcher and I went to check out their website — it’s pretty sweet. Video teasers just “above the fold”* in the bottom corners at various resolutions, and the character pages use neatly positioned <video> overlays. What do you think?

My first immersive virtual reality 360° “video”

After about a week of toil, I cobbled together a decent 360 “video” rendering. “Video” in quotes, because it’s 1 fps over the course of 50 seconds ¬_¬

Here, I just wanted to show my progression after each discovery, since I think the journey is as valuable as the end product.  (That is a lie, I abhor “the journey” and always just want to get to the end goal.)Continue Reading →
