User Interface Design Materials

July 7th, 2008 admin Posted in Design Portfolio, UI No Comments »

On this site you’ll find some examples of the websites I’ve designed and produced, some interactive flash peices I’ve developed and art directed, some of my favorite photographs, and—time-willing—some examples of my print and advertising work.

What you won’t find on this site are examples of my user interface design or information architecture work. Rest assured! I do have examples of my work to satisfy your craving for wireframes, design documentation and specifications, user cases, personas, heuristic evaluations and usability testing… it’s just locked away in my hidden vault.

Please contact me directly and I will be more than happy to show you this work.


Regence.com Embedded Video Player

June 9th, 2008 admin Posted in Design Portfolio, Interactive, UI No Comments »

Role: Designer, User Interface Design, Usability Consultant.

Date Completed: May 2008

Project Brief: One of the major features of the Regence.com redesign, this Flash component dynamically grabs other flash modules and videos and populates them into the player via an XML file. The user can interact with any of the videos within the application as it spins around a circle to display the videos they select. I designed the look and feel of the application as well as helping to develop the user interactions while our Flash developer built the application.

Site Features: Dynamic page generation via XML, embedded video player, embedded flash modules, and flash application launcher.

Role: Flash Designer/Developer, User Interface Design, Art Director

Date Completed: May 2008

Project Brief: This is an education piece I developed to help users learn the basics about health insurance.

The application consists of over 100+ real-world images. I art directed the design concept, its development and the photo shoot along with consultations from my colleagues at Regence.

Site Features: Dynamic content via XML, image deep zooming effect, closed captioning.

InFlux Magazine 2006

June 5th, 2008 admin Posted in Design Portfolio, Interactive, UI No Comments »

Role: Art Director, Interactive Designer, ActionScript Developer, User Interface and Information Architect

Date Completed: June 2006

Project Brief: I lived and breathed this site for three long months. I was the Art Director, team manager, lead flash designer/developer and user interface designer for this online, interactive manager. We purchased a flash page flipping component and then I customized the actionScript so that it also played embedded videos, slideshows and other custom features. We had to make some compromises to get the site out on deadline, but overall I was very happy with the cool functionality, print-like magazine designs and unique user experience.

Prior Version of paulweinert.com

June 4th, 2008 admin Posted in Design Portfolio, Interactive, UI No Comments »

Role: Web Designer/Developer, Interactive Designer

Date Completed: November 2005

Project Brief: I created this simple site to show some of my design abilities, as well as some of my print and web design work. It served me well for many years, but the lack of accessibility options because of flash and the burden of flash updates have taken their toll; hence this new site!
