On July 1, 2009, Kim and I visited historic Gruene Hall outside of New Braunfels. Standing outside, a biker saw us and offered to take our photo. We obliged — who wouldn’t? — he was a biker.
The biker took our photo, though I'm pretty sure his bike stole the frame.
Then, Kim took my picture outside of the historic building.
Some guy in front of Gruene Hall.
Then, I took her photo.
Kim at Gruene Hall.
And later, using Adobe Photoshop, I combined the two individual photos to create an image of us together, in front of a full view of Gruene Hall.
Grune Hall: We were there, together.
Then, later the combined photo was printed in a Shutterfly book I made for Kim.
The Shutterfly book I made for Kim to remember our 2009 summer vacation across central Texas. Here is the adjusted photo as published in the Shutterfly book.
Of course, the gallery of the photos I took during our Summer 2009 vacation can be seen here: day one and day two.
Under intense pressure from somebody who shall remain nameless, the wedding website has been kicked into orbit for your viewing pleasure, complete with photographs taken by ace photographer Pin Lim during our engagement shoot in May.
One of the best things about working for the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences is that I get to use a lot of my communication skills to fill the needs of departments.
Recently, I launched a new website for the Developmental Psychology graduate program, and one of it’s new features is a place to publish news about students and faculty.
Yesterday, I wrote a brief news article about Professor Bruno Breitmeyer.
An article I wrote about Psychology Professor Bruno Breitmeyer.
Here is an excerpt:
University of Houston Developmental Psychology Professor Bruno Breitmeyer was recently named a Fellow in the Association for Psychological Science for his “sustained and outstanding distinguished contributions” to the field.
Breitmeyer joins seven other University of Houston faculty on the esteemed fellows list at the Association for Psychological Science: Richard Evans, Donald Foss, Merrill Hiscock, Richard Kasschau, Gordon Paul, Lynn Rehm and L.A. Witt.
Today, we delivered the College Portrait website that I designed to UH.
The College Portrait website is a project that UH requested from our office in an unusually short time frame — two weeks to be exact. I was assigned the project because I was up to the challenge, and wanted to try my hand at another project that allowed me to design something outside of our college template.
UH's CollegePortraits.org page that links to the website I designed.
UH was participating in a national initiative called CollegePortraits.org that provides information to prospective students about higher education institutions, and UH wanted its collegeportraits.org page to link to a specially designed website that gave other information about UH, without overwhelming the prospective student with the complicated process of applying to a major research institution.
The UH College Portrait website I designed.
Prospective students who visit UH’s page on the CollegePortraits.org page, can click on buttons that take them to the College Portrait website I created that is on the uh.edu domain with the university’s official header and footer. Once on the website I created, students can find basic information about the nine basic aspects of UH that it wanted to promote on its CollegePortraits.org page. From each of these nine pages, students can click through photographs of actual UH students, faculty and staff to find out even more information.
The website I designed was delivered to UH on March 31, 2009.
June 26, 2011 update:Earlier this month, I noticed that the College Portrait website I designed for the university is no longer online, even though the College Portraits website still points to it. I have altered the links of this post to point to an archived version of the website served from my own server for my own portfolio purposes.
