A lifelong enthusiast of computer graphics, animation, and video game design, Trevor Harrigan has been experimenting with polygons and textures since his junior high days. In 2001, as the only winning participant not in a team, he placed third in the Texas Computer Education Association's 3D animation competition. More recently, Trevor won the Modeling category of the CGI Federal animation contest of 2014.

Even from his days as "a kid with a pad and a pen and a big imagination," Harrigan has pursued many projects born of boundless creative energy. He has tackled it all, from web design to vector-based illustration and graphic design to pixel and voxel artwork. In 2002, Harrigan launched the long-running webcomic Ragnarok Wisdom, based on the video game Ragnarok Online. The webcomic is well-known among those who have played Ragnarok Online, and has even been recognized by Gravity Corporation's international branch, Gravity LLC. Over the years, Harrigan has developed his skills in Adobe Flash animation through Ragnarok Wisdom and other projects. In addition, he has designed the layout of the websites used for the bulk of his projects, if not completely written the code for them himself.

This poster was the second project for MM 1154 Intro to Multimedia Authoring. This project required students to develop a poster in Adobe Illustrator. All posters for this project were entered into the 2015 Computing and Technology Expo Poster Contest. The poster's topic was entirely of the student's choosing.

For my poster, I chose to illustrate a famous line from John Masefield's poem "Sea-Fever." The ship in the foreground is a stylized version of the modern reproduction of the French 32-gun frigate Hermione. The star field in the background also includes a stylized version of the Pleiades.

 
This e-learning product was the first project for MM 1154 Intro to Multimedia Authoring, developed in Adobe Flash. Students were to produce a product that teaches elementary school students about the history, geography, culture and economy of a predetermined country. This product would also contain moderate assessment to encourage retention of knowledge acquired by the learners.

Saudi Arabia was the chosen country for my project. I sought to design my e-learning product in a way that would tastefully evoke elements of that nation. For example, I used the Saudi Arabian flag as a basis for the interface color scheme. Another method was in the choice of fonts and justification of the interface text. I used a combination of Civitype FG and Anke Calligraphic FG which suggested Arabic calligraphy. Placing the menu on the right hand of the screen paid homage to the Arabic writing system (which is from right to left). The background includes photography wherever possible, either from the public domain or licensed through Creative Commons.

This website was the semester project for MM 4804 Capstone II. This cross-major course included students from the Multimedia Design, Computer Science, and Information Technology departments. Students worked as part of two different mock companies, competing to develop a database for Comanche County Memorial Hospital. This purpose of this database is to keep track of and inventory bone and tissue implants until they are used or discarded. As such, the database required an HTML-based interface usable by the hospital's intranet. Each "company" had a database team, a security team, and a multimedia team.

As part of the multimedia team, I used Adobe Illustrator to design the logo for the front-end of the system. I also designed the cover pages for the system analysis & design book and user's manual. In addition, I participated in the site layout of the front-end, assisting team members in writing the HTML and CSS. I also found solutions to keep the front-end usable in Internet Explorer versions 7 through 9. This was necessary as the client's network relied on those versions. I used both Adobe Dreamweaver and Notepad to perform these duties.

KSWO Channel 7 and the Lawton Constitution reported on the completion of this project. The briefing my "company" provided for hospital representatives is visible in KSWO's online article and video.

This paper was part of the required classwork for MM 4804 Capstone II. The assignment presented students with a hypothetical scenario modeled on the classroom project within the course. In the scenario several team members exhibit a breach in ethics, coupled with an apparent dilemma. To analyze the scenario, students utilized a four-step process in analyzing ethical issues. This process also had to include the three basic criteria of moral ideas, obligations, and consequences. In addition, students needed a minimum of six references cited in their paper.

For this paper, I used most of my references to reinforce my recommended course of action. My choice of citations included articles on how to properly resolve ethical breaches in the workplace. I also cited studies demonstrating the consequences of not taking action when presented with misconduct.

This animation was the semester project for MM 3013 Advanced Computer Graphics. This project required students to develop a through line, plot points, and storyboards for an animation. The project concluded with production of an animatic (an animated storyboard with audio).

For this project, I chose to develop an animation that would serve as a "character trailer." The animatic would introduce a character I had created while playing the video games Phantasy Star Online and Phantasy Star Universe. My suitemate for the semester, David Propes, provided narration and voiceover as the featured character. His lines were then altered in Adobe Audition to sound more like the character in question.

This tutorial animation was part of the semester project for MM 4193 Game Design & 3D Programming. Students split up into teams to develop an e-learning game in Unity 3D. The project required each team to teach a different mathematical concept through games. The teams were also required to present their progress at Oklahoma Research Day 2015.

I developed and narrated two different animated tutorials, both of them created in Adobe Flash. Players could watch these tutorials on-demand within the game. The animation gives the player control over playback with simple ActionScript buttons. I included stills from this particular tutorial in my presentation "Gamifying Mathematical Concepts—Intersection" at Oklahoma Research Day 2015.

This video was the semester project for MM 4193 AP & 3D Video Effects. The project tied in with the 2014 CGI Federal Animation Contest. For this video, students had to select from a collection of sound bytes from various television shows and movies, perform minimal timing edits, then develop a 3D animation which would be set to the audio in Adobe After Effects.

For this project, I selected a sound bite from the Firefly television series. The character featured in this animation was entered separately into the contest in the modeling category; that category required entrants to develop a 3D model with a strict polygon budget. Though my animation did not place in the contest, the character won first place in the Modeling Category.

This video was a project for JRMP 1313 Audio/Visual Production. For this project, students needed to create a video demonstrating how to tie shoes and include voiceover narration.

I wanted to approach the topic at a unique angle. Therefore, my video focused specifically on the proper tying of hiking boots. My suitemate for that semester, Jared Humpolick, assisted me as he had recently taken a hiking class. In addition to the video and audio editing, I developed a short animated title sequence using Adobe After Effects.

This e-learning product was the semester project for MM 2023 Corporate Multimedia Production I. The project required students to use Microsoft PowerPoint with Lectora Snap! Together, these programs allow creation of learning materials and assessment tools. The client for this product was the fictional company "Acme Driving Schools." They desired e-learning software that would teach students how to change a flat tire.

I put my best efforts into the creation of this product, going above and beyond the professor's expectations. This included full customization of the design for the e-learning software to create a unique, coherent appearance. Due to the detail I put into this project, my professor requested I use the next course to provide the other half of the client's product.

This training handbook was the semester project for MM 3203 Advanced Instructional Design. This was a complex, multi-faceted project consisting of several phases of development. Students first created a scenario in which a fictional client required instruction for a certain audience. This instruction involved three different learning domains: affective (attitudes), cognitive (knowledge), and psychomotor (skills). Students then conducted a needs, task, and learner analysis for the client and produced learning objectives for the course. Finally, students developed training documents for a fictional instructor. These training documents would aid teaching the course as well as provide information on instructional design principles.

I designed the training handbook's cover and page decorations with Adobe Illustrator. To keep the design relevant to the purpose of the handbook, all of the designs use a wood motif. I also styled the wood design elements to look partially coated in white paint. This approach encourages the reader to consider the handbook's white space as fully-painted wood. In doing so, the design further reinforces the purpose of the handbook without distracting the reader.

This e-learning product was the semester project for MM 2123 Corporate Multimedia Production II. The project required students to use Adobe Captivate to create instructional materials with built-in assessment. Like Corporate Multimedia Production I, the client was the fictional company "Acme Driving Schools."

Normally, this project is meant to be a remake of the previous project in Corporate Multimedia Production I. However, my professor felt remaking that product was unnecessary due to the quality of work put into it. Instead, he requested that I cover topics that were not included in the previous product. I reused several assets from the Corporate Multimedia Production I e-learning product to ensure a consistent appearance. As an optional part of the project, I also developed an interactive simulation.

This simulation was an optional portion of the semester project for MM 2123 Corporate Multimedia Production II. Students who finished the e-learning product could opt to develop an interactive scenario. This product would demonstrate level 3 interactivity (scenarios with many possible branching paths based on actions taken by the learner). As with the main project, the simulation's client was the fictional company "Acme Driving Schools."

This very site was the semester project for MM 2033 Web Communication & Design. The project required students to develop a website to host portfolios for Capstone I and Capstone II.

Although this course encouraged students to employ Bootstrap as a framework, I chose instead to develop my site from scratch. I had several personal goals I pursued through this project. First, I wanted to use this project to replace earlier versions of my personal website. I also wanted to design a fully functional site that did not depend on scripts. This would ensure a user experience unfettered by protective script-blocking browser plugins such as NoScript or AdBlockPlus. Finally, I wanted to take advantage of CSS3 to create a fully responsive website design. Ideally, the site would automatically scale to provide a similar appearance regardless of screen resolution.

Although I sought to build the website from scratch, I did heavily modify design elements from other sources. For example, the sliding panels used on this site are based on Page Transitions with CSS3 by Codrops. I also adapted Futurebox 3.0 by the CSS Ninja to provide full-screen images without relying on scripts. However, I reworked the code to not employ iFrames in order to avoid potential issues with script-blocking plugins.

This game was a team project for MM 4003 Advanced Authoring. The project required students to work in teams of two or three and use Adobe Flash to develop a game that advertises a business or a product.

For this project, I worked with Kaytlen Dayhoff, who handled most of the art assets. I focused on writing the game code using ActionScript 3.0. This was my first time writing an ActionScript program of this complexity. Our game's programming went above and beyond what was expected by the professor. In fact, the game code was the most sophisticated out of all the teams in the class. Our game includes collision detection for both the player and enemy characters and multiple win-loss conditions.

This site was the semester project for MM 3113 Distance Learning Development. The class required that students develop a website for a fictional distance learning company. The site needed to provide insight to the company's approach to distance learning. Students also needed to include examples of online assessment and e-learning products. In addition, students had to demonstrate knowledge of web design and development. This was to be accomplished by either modifying an existing template or designing a layout from scratch.

For this site, I chose to design my own site layout. Similar to this portfolio and resume site, Flash Packet's website takes advantage of the CSS3 viewport units feature. Viewport units provide an adaptive, resolution-independent experience that scales with browser window size and screen resolution. The site's menu uses heavily modified code from CSS Menu Maker. The fictional company's name, logo, and the site's color scheme take after 19th century advertisements for packet ship deliveries.

This site was part of the ongoing semester project for MM 4023 Advanced Web Communications. The project required students to take an existing template (as chosen by the professor) and modify it. Students were to incorporate a responsive slider in the header and replace the menu with a more sophisticated multi-level system. Finally, the project required addition of a simple PHP-based e-mail form on a contact page.

I edited the given template to resemble the design I created for my portfolio and resume site. The slider uses images taken from my own personal work. In addition, the slider's elements were altered to fit thematically with the rest of the site.

This newsletter layout was part of a semester project for JRMP 3223 Layout and Design. Students worked with a client to create five different products according to the client's specifications. I worked with a professor in Communications, Dr. Matt Jenkins, who requested products that would advertise the revamped Journalism and Media Production program.

My products heavily incorporated elements related to Cameron University. Black and gold colors provided a high amount of contrast as well as a reference to the university's official colors. Headline text uses the official university font, Trajan Pro, while body text in the newsletter uses Baskerville to invoke a feeling of believability from readers. Including filmstrips in the newsletter layout invokes the media production aspect of the program. My instructor, Dr. Yanjun Zhao, provided photos of the JRMP department for use as part of the layout.

This brochure layout was part of a semester project for JRMP 3223 Layout and Design. Students worked with a client to create five different products according to the client's specifications. I worked with a professor in Communications, Dr. Matt Jenkins, who requested products that would advertise the revamped Journalism and Media Production program.

My products heavily incorporated elements related to Cameron University. Black and gold colors provided a high amount of contrast as well as a reference to the university's official colors. Headline text uses the official university font, Trajan Pro, while I used Minion Pro for other text due to its similarity to Trajan. Including filmstrips in the newsletter layout invokes the media production aspect of the program. My instructor, Dr. Yanjun Zhao, provided photos of the JRMP department for use as part of the layout.

I worked with a professor in Communications, Dr. Matt Jenkins, who requested products that would advertise the revamped Journalism and Media Production program.

I used both Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Flash to create the logo. The logo combines a filmstrip (evocative of media production) and a microphone (evocative of journalism) in such a way that they resemble a pickaxe. This reminds the viewer that the program is a part of Cameron University, as the pickaxe is one of the university's motifs. The logo uses Aller, a free font created by Dalton Maag for the Danish School of Media and Journalism. The alternating use of bold and thin letters draws emphasis on the "J" in Journalism and "M" in Media Production. The subtitle is in Trajan Pro, an official Cameron University font.
