Damnation: [Xbox360] I worked as a scripter on this project, scripting tutorials, and events using Unreal 3 engine. This is a shooter game with action and adventure elements.
Bratz Life: [handheld] This game was made at MGA's request for their Bratz doll line of product.
Blitz The League: [Xbox 360] I worked as a Jr. Artist on this project, dealing with the 2D graphic interface.
LOTR: The White Council: [on hold] This is the game I was hired for. I mocked up some of the levels using SketchUp. I also helped with coming up quest ideas.
Stanford Unversity
Jackson Library IEToolbar: This is the project I am working on using XML and ToolbarStudio software. It is still hit and miss at this point, it is mostly working, and we are currently testing it.
Jackson Library Staff Site makeover: this was my first try with implementing CSS and JavaScript with FrontPage. Now it is more of a side project of mine to make design changes for holidays and other events. I really do prefer Dreamweaver. -_-;;
Freelance
Logo design: I was asked by my old coworker at J. Hugh Jacksion Library to do a logo for the librarie's 75th annversary.
Book Cover / Layout design: for AACF ? The (Asian Athletic Association) needed a booklet for their 2002 Athletic tenement. At first, this was only a cover design, however, I ended up putting out layout for all pages as well as creating a map for the event.
Logo Design for Bubble ACT: This was fun and as a good well for my friends who were starting their own teashop. The design was based around the idea that Alcohol, Tea, and Coffee are all connected with bubbles. My best friend came up with the bubble blowing straw idea, and I added the text and the coloring. Later on, I also designed the business card and menu for the shop. ^_^
TunHeUSA: This was following the request for an English webpage for this Chinese company. It was challenging because I did not have any web design program at my disposal other than Photoshop when I first started. All layouts are down in Notepad and previewed with Internet Explorer. I did get my hands on Flash toward the end of the project that gave me a chance to make a flash intro. And yes, that is also my first experience with Flash.
