Family Calendar, etc.

Tabloid-sized print with all birthday information on one side and a montage of all family members on the other.  I also produced a single-sheet summary of all family contact info as part of the project.

This was commissioned for a great-grandmother with 17 biological and adopted children and nearly three dozen grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  Copies were sent to all the adult children in the family.

Completing the project required extensive collaboration in order to collect and organize four generations worth of names, dates, and photos.

After deciding that an online portfolio was a must,  I sketched out my ideal all-singing all-dancing solution, but realized that it was beyond my programming capacity and well beyond my budget.  I also researched the ready-made template options without finding any that fit my needs.

So I've done the next best thing by customizing an existing template.   Some of the adaptations in place or planned:

• Many modifications to the standard layout and CSS.
• Hosting at a custom domain.
• Live header links allowing for sorting by topic.
• Google Docs integration (here).
• Google Analytics integration.
• Customized version of Lightbox integration (planned).
• In-blog storefront with Google Checkout (planned).

First, second, and third versions of the header graphic (colors and copyright date updated each January).
