This time, retouched the swipe for the K and redrew the MH part in Illustrator CS3. All Vectors and compared to the 2008 version, aligned all the stuffs, width etc. Have to say it is an awesome software. Very easy to work with and immensely powerful. Just fun to draw with . So did a rotated 256x256 version with a a slight gradient for the Orkut profile's Display Pic.
The Rubicon Panel is a custom developed control panel for use with the redesigned Mangalam College of Engg site. A number of features have been improvised and implemented into the panel. Shown below are the screen shots of the important features of the panel.
This is the Rich text editor for managing the news, events and even the static contents for the site. All the data arse stored in the database. Even a person without any knowledge with web designing can easily add or edit contents with much ease.
This is the Add new staff member to the database form, part of the staff management module.
The Gallery management module has been a powerful module that has been researched and implemented for this project. New album can be created very easily and thumbnails are generated automatically for each uploaded image.
The uploaded document manager makes it easy to upload documents to the site. It also provides the feature to get the link for each file , so that it may be added to a news or event item easily.
That covers the important features provided by the panel ....
I was working on a project for redesigning the website for Mangalam College of Engineering, Kottayam, Kerala. After studying the old site and the requirements put forward by the college, started with the design and layout. A draft was completed in a week's time incorporating all the fine details.
The details specified included having an interesting layout and provide information to prospective students and parents, current students and their parents, the AICTE and anyone wishing to know more about the college.
The dynamic parts of the site includes having a Latest News and Events notification on homepage itself, display the details of all faculty members and courses given by the college, a Photo Gallery and a portal for Admission Queries among other things...
Well, I dont know if this is gonna be implemented or not, but this is the homepage of the redesigned site.
The design was done using Fireworks, Dreamweaver and Flash. The dynamic end is coded using PHP and uses MySql Database.
Most of the time was spent on developing the Control Panel for the site. It is codenamed Rubicon Panel and can be features a Rich Text editor, Uploaded File manager, Staff List Manager, Gallery Album Manager.
There is now question over when or if the redesigned site will get to be implemented. There has not been much further response from the management regarding this. So at the moment, the site lives on "localhost" ........
