This project looked into the area of ambient video displays. The video display incorporated a concept of someone dreaming about people painting moving images along a white canvas which was displayed along a 40 foot projected banner in the campus hallway. My role was project leader when it came from initial concept to implementation of how it could be done. The process included creating a custom made large blue-screen using a tarp, setting up camera and lighting, painting red onto the blue tarp, then using after effects to key out the colors which were replaced with various timelapse scenes.

When the public perception and presence of Adobe Flash was dwindling, the Flash-based home page of dolnik.ca needed an update. Utilizing recent web technology such as Html5, CSS3, and Greensock animation platform, I was able to recreate the animated time lapse mountain scenery of the Flash version, as well as update the look and feel of the clouds to add more realism. The scene shown is a videoscape of a mountain top setting based off of a picture of myself during a hike up one of the local mountains around Vancouver.

During a class-wide field study of Seattle's culture, our team researched into the various subcultures formed by certain areas of the city. We composed our findings into a long horizontal spread which collaged the many pictures we took with a complex order in mind that describes various groups of people through the context in where they are located.

This order included a transformation from high-rise to low-brow, from wealthy to impoverished, from cool colors to warm colors and from order to disorder. The composition was put together with a group of five people working simultaneously on the same poster with a combination Adobe Bridge and Photoshop, then given an interactive display using flash.

I was tasked with designing the logo and general branding for the startup company: Citadel Training Management. I came up the idea of a rook chess piece to signify their combined experience and core values of: training, management, learning, strategy and experience in the manufacturing and defense fields.

In 2009, the landing page of dolnik.ca had an upgrade for usability and stylization using Flash to create a videoscape of a mountain top setting based off of a picture of myself during a hike up one of the local mountains around Vancouver. In the background are randomly generated clouds in front of a timelapse of the setting sun, also captured during that same hike.

This project was for a graphic design course and we were instructed to make a poster that pays tribute to a current graphic design firm, in this case I chose the company "Attik." It was a individual assignment and it was created using Photoshop and Illustrator
