I'm working on a few things at once. I'm still working on creating the first food website that I showed you but I've also started work on another which will be a Japanese restaurant based off these menus also made in my Publication Design class.

All I have for it is for is the following image. I plan on having the butterfly at the bottom corner be the link to enter the rest of the site which will feature the menus along with pages containing information on what would be the restaurant if it were real.

I'm also working on getting my portfolio site made. I have the basic design laid out and I've started adding actionscript to the flash file, however, I'm having trouble with getting it to go to the next frame or target to an external file. I don't understand why it's not working, I have the code right and I'm not coming up with any errors but basically, when you click on, "Advertising, Publication Design, or the Digital/Web link, I want the following movie clip to play and then stop, showing the piece of paper with a list of menu items/preview images that you can click on. These items will either link to image files or html pages featuring the work shown in the preview images.

Currently the buttons I have working are the round black and gray buttons on the record player. The black button should take you back to the portal page of my website and the gray button is an email link that should open up outlook or whatever email client you're using.

If the buttons on the post-it would work then this it what it should look like.

I made more page layouts for this potential site and am in the process of loosely putting the pieces together in Flash. The only working buttons right now are the History and Company buttons located under the About menu.

I've been taking menu designs I did in Publication design, expanding on the design and trying to create what would be companion websites for them if they were real companies. This first menu is for a roadhouse type of restaurant and I wanted a rustic feel to it. I'm creating each website page individually in Illustrator and then I'm going to important the files into Flash and code the files for the web. This is what I have so far:

Project Proposal

For the project, I would like to create a portfolio site that is a compilation of new and old work. The work would include projects done in both advertising and publication design, along with work done for the web. I will also be building site designs in flash and possibly through other media such as css, html, and javascript (maybe), throughout the semester to create a stronger web background.
