Angel is a girl's name

Hey there, looks like you're using an iPhone. I'm actually in the middle of writing an iPhone stylesheet for the site, so I apologize for the temporary mess.

hello

Hi, my name is Angel! As a web designer, my job is to make things on the internet look pretty. I specialize in designing for web and implementing in modern, cross-browser compatible XHTML/CSS, PHP, and Javascript.

This is my portfolio.

Campus Destinations: Classifier

Classifier is Campus Destinations's schedule creation web application. Users can set custom events in addition to searching for courses. Courses can be set as either required or optional and Classifier will show the user all possible schedules based on their choices. Registered users can also choose to save and share their schedules.

My responsibilities on this project included designing the interface in addition to writing the XHTML/CSS structure and portions of the PHP and Javascript front end functions. I also learned a lot about icon design while working on this.

Design Inquiry Journal

"DesignInquiry is a non-profit educational organization devoted to researching design issues in intensive team-based gatherings. An alternative to the design conference, it brings together practitioners from disparate fields to generate new work and ideas around a single topic."

This project taught me more about Wordpress templates than I will probably ever need to know again. I basically took the group's ideas for a blog design and forced them to work with Wordpress. Not the most impressive looking or flashiest work I've ever done, but I got to work with people whose books I had read in college and subsequently idolized.

Institute for Justice and Equity

Proposed design of the identity for the University at Buffalo's Institute for Justice and Equity. The IJE is a very human movement with a very legal sounding name. I wanted the identity to reflect the living, breathing, grassroots side of the organization since the name already has the business side covered. Pictured is a business card mockup.

Othello

CD sleeve insert for an audiobook of "The Tragedy of Othello."

Ross Eye Institute

Proposed redesign of the Ross Eye Institute's logo.

Plethora

Started a design-a-day activity with based on daily word-of-the-day entries on Dictionary.com. Based on the definition of "Plethora." Arranged and photographed a selection of the 130 letter magnets I have on my refrigerator.

I like letters, okay?
