Events & Revelations | Portfolio of David Turner
Posted this blog article late last night, thought I’d post it up here for people to see too.

I seem to have been overcome with the desire to write about web design of late. Yesterday saw me post up the first part in a series about HTML5. Today’s screenshot contains a little sample of what I’m working on for the next piece. I thought it’d make more sense to post something I’m writing than force myself to produce something sub-par.
PermalinkGetting to Grips with HTML5 – Part 1
Yesterday I posted a screenshot of an article I was working on. Today sees me posting it live over on the BGC website. If you’re interested in HTML5, you should go read it.

Going to be out most of the day today, so I thought I’d get my Daily Design posted early. It’s a snippit of a blog article I am working on, without any styling.
PermalinkVarious Useful CSS Files
Today I’ve decided to break away from my norm of showing off images of work and sketches, to instead share a few bits of CSS that I most often use.
Both files are fully expanded pieces of CSS, to allow for excess and unneeded styling to be removed. Don’t want our code to be too bulky after all.
I’m also playing around with the 960 Grid System, which I use often, to see if I can bring it inline with these files too. Hope you find them useful.

Today’s sketch is the result of extreme tiredness. I’d intended to code it up as well today… but I don’t think that’s happening now. Maybe tomorrow.

Today sees me revisiting and adding some new functionality to the Belfast Mela Project I have been working on for what seems like far too long. The screenshot is of a new jQuery Carousel I set up to show off the Major Sponsors of the Project.

Decided to play about with the layout of my footer, based on feedback from some friends. I quite liked the result, so I’ve put it onto my portfolio. Hovering over the icons provides a full colour version of the icon.
PermalinkjQuery Graph Animation (Dynamic)
A while back I posted a simple jQuery Graph piece I’ve put together. I’ve now tweaked it so that it’s dynamically generated, using PHP and $_GET values. Clicking the link takes you to a page with 2 options in each, feel free to play about with it.
In the event that you decide to purge everything, it even has fall-back values for a default. I might toy with making this into a jquery plugin at some point too.
PermalinkjQuery Image Expand/Contract Slider
A while back I provided a download of my Jquery Image Slide Controller that I had used on my Learning Logs. Today I have revisited the plugin and provided it with a wider functionality, so that I can be used with any html element, rather than just <div> tags.
The latest version of the plugin can be from GitHub.

Today sees my Portfolio finally go live. Content is a bit sparse at the moment, but I plan to sort that rather soon, with more portfolio pieces and blog entries, along with some trips down memory lane for those of you who have followed my posts here, as I intend to revisit some pieces I’ve put on here and clean them up.

I’ve been putting together a few demos of code that I’ve been working on, and they’ve all been simply thrown into a basic HTML or PHP file. Today I decided to do something about that, and quickly put together this basic template. I’ve also updated my examples from the last two days to make use of the new template.
PermalinkJquery Graphs
Based loosely on a piece of jquery work by Chris Grant I felt like having my own go at a jquery animated graph. I must admit, I quite like how it works, though I’ll need to clean up my code at some point.
PermalinkCSS3 Links, Inputs and Buttons
I decided to have a bit of a play with some CSS3 Buttons, and play about with providing some extra effects, especially for hover and active states. The link is the result.

More of the same with Yesterday’s design. This time playing about with some colour and content placement.

Spent some time working on a site concept for one of my clients. Still very lacking, but I’m liking the shape of things so far.

Today has a few little tweaks and updates to my Portfolio’s Home Page as well as sections of my About Me and Contact Me Pages. I’m quite liking how things are falling into place with the look of things currently.

Been playing with my Portfolio’s Home Page again. I’m beginning to really like the overall look of things, though I need to play with the buttons some more.
PermalinkIMD Learning Logs
With my first year of the #IMD Course behind me, I figured I’d back up my Learning Logs before they get purged.

With my year of #IMD complete I realise that my work will, in the near future, be purged from the University Web Servers. Understandable, but I’d like to keep my work online for future reference, and to show the progress I have made over the past year, and that I will hopefully make over the next year as well.
On my site I have a subdomain which currently points to my Uni work, which I will be converting to a holding page for my previous work as well as pointing people to where my current work can be viewed. Today’s piece is a step towards creating that.
