I was asked by one of the other WCRD Managers to create a MySpace page and logo for an event we were co-sponsoring wtih a local music venue called The Launching Pad.  I had never done an in-depth custom MySpace before and I wanted to improve my CSS skills so I agreed to do the job.  I read some tutorials and through quite a bit of trial and error I ended up with something really unique that isn't just another MySpace page.

Site Features:

• Large Logo at top of page
• Bright colors that grab attention
• Displays all information on festival
• Custon created Contact links table 
  

Over the course of 2007, I created several cool graphics and banners for WCRD.net.  Here are some of my favorites.

In the Fall of 2006, I was asked to join Ball State's student radio station WCRD 91.3 fm as Web Manager.  I had been a DJ for a year at the point and was happy to take on the task.  The station decided before I was hired to undergo a re-format of their identity and asked me to design a new website and logo for their new sound.  The site was created in less than 1 week in Dreamweaver so that it could be launched with the official format change.  Because of the short ammount of time it was built in, the site is simple yet met all the stations needs at that time.

Site Goals:

1. Give new look and feel for station format change
2. Highlight events at station
3. Leave room for advertisting
4. Display Event Calendar
5. Make Schedule Available Online
6. Manage Web Stream
7. Display DJ Profiles
8. Make people want to come to site and listen online
   

Site Pros:

• Easy to navigate
• Displays events prominently
• Gives advertisers top billing
• Open to frequent changes
• Visually appealing 

Site Cons:

• Cross-browser issues because of Layers
  
• Only 3 options for features
• Flash banner can cause issues depnding on which browser/machine
• No longer fits all needs of the growing station

EDIT: A redesign of the site is currently underway.  I am working closely with my new Assistant Multimedia Director to produce an all new site to be launched in May of 2008.
