Commercial design/ePortfolio: Kindling & Tinder »

Authored by Michaela Drapes and Shannon Robertson, the site was designed to showcase their custom knitwear designs, d/b/a Kindling & Tinder. The site provides a sidebar link that opens their Look Book for Fall 2009, as well as other tabs explaining their design philosophy and from where they draw their inspiration. The site also includes standard copyright and date stampe, as well as design application references utilized.

Note: Michaela told me that this site was hand built and shows how simple a multi-page portfolio can be designed/published.

eResume: Aaron Adjemian »

A graduate of Cathedral High School and Notre Dame, Aaron Adjemian’s resume is fairly clean cut. His resume is fairly current (as of his graduation from college,) but his other sections are “under construction.” He needs to update and maintain in order to tend an acceptible level of ePresence today. (Frankly, I hate still having to put an ‘E/e” in front of everything that is now located digitally. This trend started back in the late 90s (I designed and worked on a series of e- projects then,) yet still has not abated.

ePortfolio example #2: CV Brian J McNely »

Utilizing the Tumblr interface, McNely imbeds sections of the eportfolio, such as his CV, teaching philosophy, and photography, etc., to illustrate his overall research agenda. However, in using this web app, McNely creates a more top-down linear as opposed to Daniels traditionally framed hyperlink design with side menu/navigation. In McNely’s case, he forces the viewer to “run-through” or scroll past every section; whereas, Daniels allows her visitor/viewer to choose “where they want to go.”

Iraqi Picasso forger foiled by poor spelling »

BAGHDAD: A Picasso painting that Iraqi police proudly announced they had found this week appears to be a fake, officials at the Louvre in Paris and the National Museum in Kuwait have told AFP. Officers had said that the painting was stolen during Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990, but a source at the museum in the emirate said they had never housed such a work. “The National Museum had no Picasso paintings before the Iraqi invasion,” the official said on condition of anonymity.A tag on the back of the painting, one riddled with misspellings, names the work “The nakede” (sic) and says it was “sold by the louvre to the musum” (sic) of Kuwait 1979, with the words Louvre and Kuwait in lower case. The canvas back also carries a stamp of the Eiffel Tower, saying “Louvre musem” (sic). Investigators believe these suggest the work is a forgery.
