Just a heads up that there’s new work in my portfolio, both work and personal. Also I’ve updated the resume to highlight some of the new software and skills I’ve picked up.

Thoughts from video editing today…
I’m thinking this video project could have used a bit more pre-planning with the video editor and DVD producer. AKA, me. I mean what we’re getting is good. But it could have been more…
Update: Actually not bad at all. It’s not going to win any of those high-falutin’ design/movie awards but it’s going to do the job and look good while doing it.

Bandwidth and technology constraints
I have an interesting design “problem” I’m working on. A client wants a new website. They would like it to become a useful and usable resource. The target audience for this site come from rural or economically-challenged demographics. So bandwidth and old technology constraints are real issues that need to be addressed by the design. Quite an interesting challenge in that regard. The client however seems to really want to use Flash – mainly just to rotate some imagery around. In other words, it serves no useful purpose other then decoration. Normally that would be fine, but considering the target audience and the constraints we’re dealing with, I don’t think it makes a lot of sense to add Flash. What do you think?
Update: So the after some discussion, the client decided to do go ahead with Flash movie, understanding that perhaps some of the target audience would not see it or have an optimal experience with it. The client did reduce the amount of images that the Flash movie uses, which reduced the file size some 100 Kb which is good.
