About

Hi, my name is Brent Dayman. I'm currently working as the Web Designer at SmartWorks, in Melbourne, Australia. I love to learn - between devouring books I'm currently completing a Bachelor of Applied Science (IT).

Originally from a print design background - my passion for technology led me to web and multimedia design. During this time I have covered all the work stages of a wide variety of projects including the following.

Project clarification

• initial investigation of resources and environmental constraints
• briefing (creative, technical, content requirements)

Solution definition

• recommendations (creative and technical)
• working with designers/writers/photographers/developers
• information architecture

Project specification

• project specification documentation

Content management

• story-boarding

Design and construction

• creative design, including interface design
• construction using Flash (ActionScript), HTML, CSS, JavaScript, MySQL, PHP
• adherence to web standards (HTML for content and semantic document structure, CSS controls layout and presentation, JavaScript controls behaviour)

Testing, launch and hand-over

• creation of documents that validate to published formal grammars
• hand-over documentation (guidelines)

Maintenance and training
