I designed the map and images, sticking to online branding standards, collaborating with the programmer for DHTML functionality.

REVAMP SITE'S LOOK AND TECHNOLOGY

Tyco owned Earth Tech. Earth Tech acquired WPT. WPT identified themselves as their own brand, but wanted to be associated with Tyco. To accomplish (1) identity association and (2) to revamp the out-dated site, Earth Tech's in-house group, Creative Services, redesigned the site's branding and technology.

More dynamically driven information and features were added within the new sections, adhering to the existing site's look.

On the creative end, I designed a general template for the new sections, using color as a section indicator, integrating within the existing site. With the site as a reference, each graphic, font and .psd were recreated or figured out, as not provided by the former developer. I cleaned up the code and renamed all related files fitting within a php environment, to accommodate programmers' new features.

The overall goal was to maintain/clean up the site's front (visual graphics) and back (HTML - globally adding PHP code), while integrating new features (a collaboration effort with programmers).
