Red Leaf Media

I've recently been working with a company called Space Toys. First, I designed a new logo for them. I have also been working on simple graphics for the upcoming re-launch and re-design of their website. They have been a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to future interaction with them.

Aside from Space Toys, I have been doing some work on my personal site, Not To Us. I have specifically been working on the photos section of the site. First I took the jQuery Galleria plugin, and modified it slightly for use in our image galleries. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Galleria, it takes a simple unordered list of images and converts them to a more attractive and modern presentation. The alterations that I made to the plugin were relatively minor. Essentially I just had to convert some of the functions that were specific to the latest version of jQuery back to functions that work with the version of jQuery that comes standard with Drupal 5.

After getting the Galleria functionality working, I turned my attention to the category thumbnails that are displayed when navigating through image categories. After looking through modules on drupal.org, I didn't find anything that suited my needs. So, I wrote my own module and named it "Term Highlight". I based it on the "highlighting" that I had seen in Gallery2. This module allows me to select photos as "highlights" of the categories they have been placed in. I don't currently think that I will release this as a module on drupal.org, but I am pretty pleased with the results so far.

Lastly I've been talking with two prospective clients about reconstructing and redesigning their existing websites with Drupal. I hope to have more information about these projects in the near future.
