Fun@Work

guitarLesson

Nowadays, the office really comes to life after 6.30pm.  In the room, we’ll have guys playing the guitars and singing.  At the recreation spot, we have people pitting their Street Fighter and MVC skills against one another.  Or on other days, being pseudo rock stars.  Not to mention the evening runs that 1/2 the company take part in now.

Virtual Pharmacy E-Learning: Mock ups

start screen copy

This was a quick mock-up done within 3 days or so a few months back. It’s a mock-up on an E-learning site. Users get to go through various sections to familiarize themselves with the relevant duties.

Various design and technical considerations had to be made during the process, such as the logic, flow and updatability in terms on the content. Unfortunately, this remains as just a mock-up.

MPA_0008_Layer 2 MPA_0007_Layer 3 MPA_0005_Layer 5 MPA_0006_Layer 4

Plenty of 3D images had to be rendered and plenty of content had to be organized. Other than the usual informational content, there is a step-by-step guide to bunkering and a quiz on that too.

PD Design Studio Website: Version 2.0

pd v2

It’s been more than 3 years since the PD Design Studio’s site been up. We have received compliments when the site was launched, but we have also received a fair bit of complaints about the site every now and then, particularly about the navigation and how hard it’s to locate the portfolios.

Well, wait no more as we are currently working on the version 2.0. In fact, right now it’s being hosted here. Do take a look at the current work-in-progress and leave us some comments. Do note that the write-ups on the projects are temporary.

We’ll be launching a no-frills site, with all necessary functions, without any bells and whistles very soon. Hopefully, we’ll find time soon enough to update it with more interactive elements. But for now, this is it.
