This website was created for a friend of mine who wanted to commemorate the life of her nephew with a charity bean bag tournament in his honor. This website is easily one of the best I have ever built. The design is unique, the functionality is simple, and the website serves a very limited purpose, but serves it extremely well, providing easily customized information about the event, the ability to register online, and the flexibility to add custom segments with a variety of different content.
For a long time I had been wanting to build a website that uses parallax to simulate movement and depth on the page. We knew that the design needed to include a variety of images of Quinn, so I decided to incorporate them into a "living background" on the page. The images are semi-randomly positioned on and off the page and then javascript animated to create the floating motion. The background scene combines 4 layers of dual horizontal and vertical scrolling in parallax creating a remarkable illusion of depth behind the main content, in addition to allowing a large variety of images to be displayed without feeling cluttered or forced.
