This was my first design while attending college. It contained pretty much everything I had learned up to that point in my studies, it had Adobe Flash animation, Adobe Photoshop graphics, and Apple Final cut video on every page, in short it was to heavy especially for users who have dial-up internet connections.		This was my 2nd design; while it does not have all the added bells and whistles of the first, it still was not what I really wanted for my presence on the internet. It did serve as a Resume or CV but it sill lacked any real design esthetic and did not show the skill set I learned from completing my first year as a multimedia student.

For my 3rd page design I tried to stay with less is more. Again I kept the use of animation to a minimum and used this design to serve as trial and error in learning to better understand theory and color palettes. I concentrated on more complex scripting of the Flash animation with Action script for quicker and smoother animation.		And for this design I tried to go out of the box completely from my norm. I was pleased with the design look but while watching friends test this design I realized that it forced the visitor to hunt for information and that is not good for a web page, most visitors will simply surf away from this type of design and head to a more user friendly designed site.
