Michael Szewczyk: Web & Graphic Design
Challenge: To create a fully functional game in Flash for children, using simplistic game controls and fun graphics. Solution: I designed a golf game which allows the user to putt from the green. Each game consists of five rounds of putting and the score is kept in the top left of the screen. Each round the hole moves closer or further away randomly and the player controls the game by holding down any button on the keyboard, the longer a button is pressed, the further the ball will go.

INTEGRITY WEBSITE
Challenge: To create a website for a company that specializes in cruise ship advertising and promotions. My client wanted a bright, clean design that they were able to edit remotely.

Solution: I designed a website using WordPress so that my client could access and edit the website from anywhere. We also decided that a predominantly white design with grey accents would work best to highlight their content.
