Michael Ryan

Client Micheal Ryan - Fine artist & painter
My role Design, front-end (xhtml & CSS)

Short description

Michael Ryan is a painter who wanted a site to display his art. The website should be as minimum as possible and let the art "pop out". Initially these type of websites look very easy, but because it�s so simpel all the details have to be spot on.

Michael had a very strong vision on how he wanted his website and I'm happy i was able to create the website he wanted it to be.

GameGoggles AR

Client Schoolproject
My role Design, movie editing + filming, flash

Short description

For this project i made a website to present Silent Hill on GameGoggles, a pair of augmented reality goggles that projects the game over the real world.

The style was inspired by many horror games and movies and i think the result is very nice. I also made an attempt to create an interactive movie. Time was very short though (read, i started on the night before the deadline), so the movie was never completely finished. I do love the idea of an interactive movie, so i might try again another time.

Kunstgeschiedenis / history of art

Client Schoolproject
My role Design, flash

Short description

For the subject History of art we had to create a virtual museum and fill it well... art. You had to find art in four different categories: fear, disgust, aesthetics and fascination and add an over-the-top description with it to explain why you put in that category.

I tried to create a classic look & feel for my museum and I think that worked out pretty well.

Portfolio V1

The goal was to make a fresh portfolio in 100% valid xHTML and CSS according to the w3 standards.

Portfolio V3

Client Personal
My role Design

Short description

For my third portfolio i wanted to experiment more with Photoshop and photo editing. To do this i created a fantasy landscape using some stocks and a lot of my own photography.

I've always loved the fantasy theme. Something about magic and castles just makes me dreamy. I enjoyed adding the different elements to this layout. Perhaps I'll even finish it someday ...
