Jordan Buermann - Web Programmer

Design

My strength is programming, so I don't often do graphical work. I try to use CSS instead of graphics as often as possible, but I do know how to use photoshop. I can resize, optimize, edit, and create images. I can cut up photoshop graphics and create a page design based on one. I'm just not as strong in the artistic sense. These are some works where I have had to work with graphics, and designed web applications.

• Katrina Relief
  • This is a simple static website that was put together to display certain information pertaining to Katrina Relief. The graphics were provided, and using CSS I built a layout around them.
• http://www.elect.mnscu.edu/
  • This is a website I have cleaned up occasionally over the years. Mostly simple CSS changes such as text color. I redid the header links using CSS and small amounts of Javascript.
• Coordinators Map - work in progress
  • This is an image map I am putting together for Jennifer Arno. It is pretty simple, they want to be able to click on a color and get data pertaining to that region. We are still discussing the map graphic, but once that is decided upon all the scripting is done.
• Within Shadows Reach - Gaming site
  • This is a gaming site I do on the side. An artistic friend made a picture of what we wanted the layout to be in Adobe Photoshop. I took the graphic, and turned it into a web page. The "IC" and "OOC" graphics are image maps. The way I designed it actually is the same as the Photoshop graphic. I cut out each graphic as transparent, and then using CSS and div tags I laid them out over each other. An Iframe was used to display the content in the middle of the page.
• Sys Doc
  • Management
  • I designed Sys Doc quite a while ago. This fits into Design and Content Management, I put it here because I designed it. The function is to manage content. It is a method for users to upload files and display links to be displayed on the web. They create categories, sections, and then upload the files to go into each section. They can also control the order of the categories, sections, and files. All of this data is stored in a database, while the files are stored in one folder. The end-user page is created dynamically based on the content of the database.
