RaeanneWright.com has been on the Web since 2003, and was originally created as a showcase of my film production work at RIT. Over the years, the site has seen four different makeovers that served as a jumping-off point for my foray into the world of Web design. Finally, after a year in hiding while I polished my design and developing skills, we're live with a clean new look and lean, standards-compliant, valid-code. But we can't turn a blind eye on the past. Here's a glace back at some of the earlier faces and offerings of RaeanneWright.com, as well as some of the early, embarrassingly awful sites that first infected me with the design bug...

Travel Photography
Travel fuels my soul, and John and I have made it a priority to globetrek as frequently as possible. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Noreen, my mother-in-law, is a travel agent - and very generous, too. Some of our travel photos are online, scattered across various photo hosting services. For once, they are all in one place:

RaeanneWright.com Version 4.0
Launched in 2005, this was the previous face of of my site, and the only design I currently have on file (I'm still looking for the lost versions 1.0-3.0). I designed the site shortly after returning from my honeymoon in Greece, hence the usage of Parthenon architecture within the design. For fun, I've kept some links from the old site:

Softhum
In 2005, after leaving New York City and trying to collect myself during a career shift, I decided to start my own company. Enter softhum, my first business venture which encompassed one slick, though shoddily built, website boasting my video, graphic design, and web services. I managed a few sweet gigs while under the identity of softhum before a few solid friends whispered to my naive self that the name was, uh, a little pornographic. Ewww. Luckily, I landed a full time job anyway, and softhum faded into the domain after-market. All that's left today is a stack of business cards and some lessons learned.

door7
Remember door7? Probably not, unless you were into the underground art scene of Rochester, NY in 2004-2005. John Yost founded the cooperative, moving art space with a handful of fellow Photo students at RIT during his senior year. It was such a hit that when we returned a year later, fresh off the trails from our adventures in Maine and Austin, we reignited the project. I, of course, designed the website, which served as the online hub for the project, complete with forums and online galleries. The development was done by Kevin Kilcher, another RIT alum. door7 held several successful shows in five different venues throughout the city, and reached non-profit status before eventually losing momentum when we moved to NYC.
