I have recently updated all my software from CS3 to CS4. The new Creative Suite consists of many more programs including Adobe Soundbooth, Premier Pro Captivate and Presenter which means much more for my clients with WebDesign.
I have also been learning Adobe Illustrator CS4, i am hoping to use this package to produce effective vector graphics such as the ones below.
Current Projects
Richard Cook Building Renovations
Richard Cook contacted me to produce a flyer! The brief was simply to create something eye catching and sleek.
Our latest Web Design is 80% complete. Lower Harton Farm is currently live, we still have some modifications to make and additional content to add however its an example of what you can expect from my Design Studio
Many people like to have music on their Web Sites and to be honest as much as its a good thing, it can also be a pain if not done right. MP3 files can slow a web pages loading time right down.
The best way is to have a proper MP3 Player on your Web Site, nice and simple, nothing over the top with the ability to click through the tracks as the user wishes.
My MP3 players are designed to run using an external XML file which calls the data to the music player. You dont need any Flash Experience to make this job work.
Not the easiest thing in the world to produce, however here is an example of how i would approach this project.
Using Adobe Flash i creat the MP3 player. I then assign the player to an external XML sheet would looks like this in notepad.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<songs>
<song url= "tracks/3- Kenny Loggins - Footloose.mp3" artist="Kenny Logins" track="Footloose"/>
<song url= "tracks/2- Irene Cara - Flashdance...What A Feeling.mp3" artist="Irene Cara" track="Flash Dance"/>
<song url= "tracks/1-Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes.mp3" artist="Kim Carnes" track="Bette Davis Eyes"/>
<song url= "tracks/4- Lipps Inc. - Funky Town.mp3" artist="Lipps Inc" track="Funky Town"/>
<song url= "tracks/5-Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse Of The Heart.mp3" artist="Bonnie Tyler" track="Total Elipse"/>
<song url= "tracks/6-The J. Geils Band - Centerfold.mp3" artist="The J. Geils Band" track="Centrefold"/>
<song url= "tracks/7- Joan Jett - I Love Rock 'N Roll.mp3" artist="Joan Jett" track="Rock N Roll"/>
</songs>
So as you can see all these quality music tracks are loaded on the server and you simply add and remove what you like to the xml file and upload it back to your server and it automatically updates the MP3 Player.
