VARSTREET NAVIGATION
Responsible for all main navigational graphics for all web based
applications under development at VARStreet. Specifically the FREE
eBusiness Workplace and complimentary application VSConnect. Both
applications targeted different end users and performed different
primary tasks.
The eBusiness Workplace, a FREE online application, was for small
to medium businesses who needed online eCommerce, marketing, real
time quoting, and daily business details. With an expanding feature
set and endless developlment cycle the main navigation was constantly
updated.
vsConnect, a subscriptions based online application, was for large
manufacturers who needed to create, develop and maintain customer
channels. Information could be pushed directly to all resellers
and ultimately to end users through one simple application. Users
included 3COM, Iomega and Fujitsu.
I designed the main navigations to be as simple as possible. Because
this was an online application bandwidth was a major consideration.
Users would be constantly bouncing from page to page and the fastest
refresh was desired.
I spent one year as the Creative Director for VARStreet. Working
in-house to manage a variety of corporate and product marketing
projects. Primarily responsible for the corporate identity, web
site development, application GUI, and marketing materials.
All graphical elements were under my direction. Also managed third
party vendors and freelance work. The ultimate graphic design "go
to" guy. Brought design consistency and increased professional look
and feel of the company.
