K&C Classic Homes

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

The website for K&C Classic Homes is finally live! This was a joint effort between Baker One Design and myself.  Baker One Design did the graphics, and art direction, while I did the Flash and website code. The website features some jQuery effects, such as navigation drop down, lightbox, and expanding information panels.

Hoa Da Herbal Medicines - Brain Power - Label

Each label includes Vietnamese on one side, and English on the other. The type selection is simply VNI-Times and VNI-Helvetica, a free font. To get the Vietnamese characters to show up on the website was quite an ordeal. The process is as follows:

  • The client sends over a Word document with all the information in VNI-Times.
  • I use a free Java application called UnicodeConverter.jar, to convert the Word document from VNI-Times to Times New Roman. This is necessary because:
    • For the Vietnamese characters to show up correctly on the website, the characters have to be in Unicode format. It doesn’t matter if it’s converted to Times New Roman or what; it just has to be in a Unicode format. In the head of the website, the meta is set to charset=UTF-8.
    • For the characters to store correctly in the MySQL Database, the database has to be set to UTF-8.

Projects Update

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

We are currently working with Byrne Medical to create trade show graphics for SGNA. We would love to post some in-progress pics, but then that would ruin the surprise! =)

Hoa Da Herbal Medicines is up and running with their new e-commerce site, complimented by their new product labels and marketing material. Creating all their new branding material was a lot of work, but very rewarding.

Finished a very fun business card project for T&M Illusions. This took several hours (10+) to accomplish, because each rhinestone was strategically placed to create the outline effect.
