  • WinAmp Aqua Skin
    April 30, 1998
    WinAmp Aqua Skin

    The WinAmp Aqua Skin was a custom interface theme designed during the golden age of desktop personalization. Packaged for download and manual installation, it reflects an era when tweaking media players was both creative expression and technical exploration. Read More

    3-D Images

    In 1998, I showcased early 3D renderings created with 3D Studio Release 4, featuring a modeled modem and a detailed bee. These experiments explored lighting, texture, and form—capturing late-90s fascination with digital modeling and emerging desktop graphics. Read More

    Miscellaneous Graphic Design

    This early design page showcases experiments with customization and motion—from crafting a personalized WinAmp skin to building animated GIFs during the peak of web-era creativity. Small projects, but foundational steps in learning visual identity, interface styling, and digital expression. Read More

    Backgrounds

    In the late 90s, I curated a small gallery of looping background textures—gears, nets, pipes, wax, and abstract bumps—designed for websites and desktops. Seamless GIF patterns built for tiling, tweaking brightness, and giving early web pages mechanical personality. Read More

  • April 27, 1998
    Community

    Community is my attempt to revive the spirit of the classic BBS—private logins, message boards, file areas, and internal mail—all powered by a centralized configuration system so updates happen in one place instead of across every page. Read More

  • April 27, 1998
    Web Search

    In 1998, I built a keyword-driven web search engine using Active Server and VBScript, complete with category filters, adult-content controls, user submissions, and banner placements—an ambitious first server-side project shaped by creativity, constraint, and limited database tooling. Read More

    Bee

    Created as a class assignment in 3D Studio Release 4, this rendered bee explores organic modeling through polygon shaping, lighting, and texture work. Built during the late 90s, it reflects early experimentation with digital sculpture and desktop CGI tools. Read More

  • Modem
    April 18, 1998
    Modem

    This 3D rendering of a 56K modem captures a detailed printed circuit board populated with through-hole resistors, capacitors, diodes, and microchips. Created during the dial-up era, it reflects late-90s fascination with hardware, connectivity, and precision digital modeling. Read More

  • Pipes
    April 18, 1998
    Pipes

    This page showcases the tiled pipes.gif background, repeating in a seamless industrial pattern across the screen. Created in the late 90s, the looping GIF evokes mechanical depth and metallic texture, capturing the bold, experimental spirit of early web design. Read More
