Student and Alumni Samples: Portfolios
  The following portfolios were created by current and former students of mine. These students demonstrate the highest quality of interactive design and art skills. Although I may have had these students in a few courses, the success of these portfolios and their careers is the product of the student's innate skill, motivation and hard work. In teaching these students, I have simply had the honor of offering them my professional advice and guidance. Although I have between 40-85 students per quarter, these students demonstrate an affinity to the design values I teach or they deserve accolades for their hard work in school and in the industry.

An asterisk (*) denotes students I helped mentor through the portfolio design process.

I apologize if some of the links do not work, these are direct links to the student's own site.

Sample Work from Classroom Assignments  
  The following links are provided as evidence of small projects completed by my students in less than a 5 weeks.  
   

Web Sites and Interactive Media (2003-2005):
Interactive versions of a few websites my students completed as midterm projects in IMD215 and IMD330/350/380.

  
    Art Work (2004):
Sketches completed by students in my scriptwriting for games course or Survey of Design and Media Arts course (1 week assignments).		  
    Animation (2003-2005):
Animations completed by one of my favorite assignments from my Survey of Design and Media Arts course. After I lecture on the history and techniques of traditional and digital animation I ask the students to create an animation in teams of 4. They have 1 week to animation, and most have never animated before the assignment.
