Cat’s Eye

Project Information

Web Designer, Photographer

Cat’s Eye is my online photography portfolio of sorts. I say, “of sorts” primarily because the website was intended to be a proof-of-concept website. It just so happens that I was planning to create a website devoted to exhibiting my featured photography and I realized that this experiment in web design could serve two functions.

In its current incarnation, Cat’s Eye is a horizontally-scrolling, The Horizontal Way-powered, and Lightbox Gone Wild-enabled work of beauty. The typography needs work, but the design best serves the primary content, which are the photography. It was a headache getting the AJAX to work with The Horizontal Way, but after hours of googling and pouring over the Javascript, I was able to discern a pattern and figured out a fix.

My love of photography coupled with my passion for web design will ensure the continued existence of Cat’s Eye, even just as an exercise in creating a horizontally scrolling website.

The Harsh Desert

Photography Exhibition

The Harsh Desert opened with critical and popular acclaim in Palm Springs, California on February 2008 and was featured in the local news, both print and television. It was all very exciting for everyone involved. Sure, I missed it due my being in the Philippines conducting training, but it does not take away from the sense of accomplishment I felt being able to exhibit my work.

Jayel Aheram

Web Designer

I make websites. I do not just code, I do not just design, I do not just create content. I do all of it, from drafting the first layouts to building the wire frame; from editing the images used to designing the typography; and from coding the required HTML, CSS, and Javascript to providing and editing the content.
