I'm excited to say that I'm now working at www.tagnewmedia.com.
I really ought to add a portfolio section to my site. Click if you wish to see a list of sites I have done work on:
Every element in this photoshop comp had odd angles to it. To make the Dr Seuss like text blocks, I used javascript to insert columns of floating divs. It's not perfect yet - I have to change the height of the text block to make enough divs to accommodate the reflowed text. It all depends on the angle and the text size.
I created an example of using flash and flex elements to enhance a drupal page for my presentation at the Spring < br / > conference at Ohio University. It was nifty enough that I wanted to have it on my site.
The flex book code is from www.rubenswieringa.com/code/as3/flex/Book/ and also www.quietlyscheming.com.
The simplicity of a css technique by Ryan Thrash about Rounded Corners for CSS Boxes appealed to me. This technique uses a single image to build all four corners of a box. It's a bit like using a piece of wrapping paper to wrap a gift. The paper overlaps a bit as you fold it over, but as long as it is big enough it works fine. Sure it is a little inefficient; the full image file size is bigger than the optimized and sliced-up background images would be, but since it's cached by the browser it only has to load once.
