    The Kuehn Custom Homes website has finally come to a completion. The website was designed by Baker One Design, and coded by yours truly. The design is great; got to hand it to Baker One Design. The thing I am most proud of is the custom Flash gallery. It is not a plugin or an adaption, but a 100% custom creation. Both the Interiors and Exteriors gallery share a common .swf file, and inside the html it passes a FlashVars, telling it which xml file to load. Within the xml file is the information pertaining to which images to load, and the gallery text heading. Here is a snippet:

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.

  • Helping Smple Design Studio with some project overflow.
  • Byrne Medical returned from their SGNA trade show this week. When I get some photos, I’ll post them up.
  • Been working on a website design with Baker One Design. Hope to have it live this week!
  • Designed new product labels for Hoa Da Herbal Medicines (twenty to be exact). Here is how the labels look:

    • 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.
