TRIAD
www.triadthemovie.com
A movie by Chris Folkens. Version 2 of
website launched Spring 2003.
The first attempt at pseudo-Flash
resulted in a cool layout with easy navigation. Graphic work reflected
the spookiness of the film. The site is full of content, and will give
you minutes of enjoyment. Email Chris to purchase a DVD of the film. |
DUAL
FILMS
www.dualfilms.com
The work of Chris Folkens. Version 2 of
website launched 1/05.
The original Dual site was great in its
own right, but the current serves a completely different purpose.
Featured on the site are clips of Chris' production work. Chris'
favorite blue tint on black is used, as seen on the original TOXIN.
Intricate details make this one a keeper. However, someone please help
me figure out why we have problems with playing some of the movies! |

TOXIN
www.dualfilms.com/toxin
A movie by Chris Folkens. Version 2 of
website launched 1/05.
The website features a rectangle-based
scheme in a largely monochromatic blue tint with full color for
highlights. Several days of trial and error led to this version, which
is in essence just a linearization of the original, but is cleaner, more
coherent, and far more attractive. |
RANGER
DESIGN TEAM
www.geocities.com/nicolosi81
The work of nicolosi81. Version 3 of
website launched 1/19/06.
After the original attempt to create
something in just black and white, I decided that I needed to do
something with color. A better layout was also necessary. It's
simple, clean, and reflects RDT better than the first. The current
version is an update of v2, with the same top section, but below the
yellow the site has been given more style. It also helps display the art
in a way that better serves the viewer. |

GEDEWE
PRODUCTIONS
www.gedeweproductions.com
Entertainment publicity and support
organization. Launched Spring 2005.
After many, many modifications to
finalize a layout and style, Gedewe was pretty much complete by the time
its first big event, "Final Act" came up. I think this will
forever be a "site-in-progess," as I will continually tweak it
to make it the most perfect website I know how to do. |
MAESTRO
DESEAN
www.maestrodesean.com
Site for musician/entertainer Maestro
DeSean. Launched 7/23/05.A new crown jewel, thanks to the <iframe>
code I managed to discover. In addition, I used random image, scrollbar
coloring, have allowed the user to choose the main graphic from a
series of photos, pop-up picture gallery, and linked to a guest book.
This is definitely one site I pulled out all the tricks I know. The color scheme was based on Maestro's shirt color, making a
nice connection there. It was a fairly easy site to do in spite of the
detail. Awesome. |

GREEN
CHOOPY
greenchoopy.blogspot.com
My blog. Launched
3/20/05.
I'm not a fan of
blogging. But I jumped on the bandwagon and make infrequent postings
that few people read anyways. Most useful to me though is that I've
tinkered with the template so that the site look is all mine and no one
else's. Read at your own risk of boredom. |
CHICAGO
SINFONIAN ALUMNI INTEREST GROUP
www.geocities.com/chicago_
sinfonian_alumni
For Alumni of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia.
Launched 9/05.
This is just a simple site with
information about the group. Only remarkable thing is that I put a link
that adds the page to the favorites list. There is a sister site for
Central Illinois, but nothing's happening with that group yet. |

THE
ALPHA XI CHAPTER OF PHI MU ALPHA SINFONIA
Music fraternity at UIUC. Version N.8
launched Fall 2002.
Over three years this website underwent
8 known redesigns, each one progressing toward the greatness that would
be known as "Yellow." An incredibly content-rich site
featuring member and alumni bios, graphics archive, photo gallery,
membership guide, and more gave Alpha Xi one of the strongest web
presences in the fraternity. As new membership took over, the site was
handed to a new webmaster who is indeed a master of technology. RDT is
proud to see Alpha Xi showing how it's done online. |
A
MOMENT SO CLOSE
A movie by Chris Folkens. Website
launched in Spring 2002.
Simple, and simply pretty. An emotional
red brings out the heartache depicted in this short, award-winning film. |

SUDDEN
IMPAQ, INK.
Performance organization at UIUC.
Website launched Fall 2002.
SII is the brainchild of Gerry
"Maestro DeSean" Welch; it is an organization devoted to many
forms of artistic expression in performance. The site was meant to be
graffiti on a wall. Sadly it was never completely finished though it
looked cool. Look forward to Gerry's upcoming pages soon. |
NCTM
STANDARDS PROJECT
CI 332 group project. Created Fall
2002.
This site is an analysis of the NCTM
standard "Geometry and Connections." A hexagon theme relates
to the activity focus on tesselations. This site is still active, but
won't be changed again. |

ALGEBRA
UNIT PROJECT
CI 332 group project. Created Fall
2002.
This site is for a grade 4/5 algebra
unit, featuring 15 lessons, a content map, unit project, and links to
resources. Dice are the theme, since it's math related. It wowed
everyone... probably because no one could match it. This site is still
active, but won't be changed again. |
GREEN
ST. RECORDS
The Big Ten's only student-run record
label. Version 3 launched Spring 2004.
After several misguided attempts, the
organization's rockin' personality came out here. Featuring an exciting,
energetic theme, GSR announced its debut compilation with style. RDT
currently does not maintain this site, but enjoys listening to their
second compilation album, "Playlisted." |

MILFORD HIGH
SCHOOL MUSIC DEPT.
Informational page for students,
teachers, and community in the Milford Public Schools.
This was a very quick site to create. A
contemporary rectangular design with instruments and the school mascot
define the page layout. The bad news is that it never got posted, and
some kids decided they'd make their own. Riiiiiight. |
