Giving Birth: New OU Home Page

I feel like I’ve given birth… without all the epidurals, tax credits and stitches.

After 4 months of design and development a new www.ou.edu is about to launch.

Since we actually have some kickass content like a great YouTube channel, Facebook Fan Page and a Blog,  we took a more modular approach letting the content be at the center of attention.  We still kept a traditional feel by using campus images, texture up top and serif type for the headers. Some things that I originally spec’d out didn’t make it into this version, like pulling in the weather conditions, RSS feeds and the Article page functionality, but we will be working to impliment those things in the future.

Overall it’s a great step in a new direction. I could not be more proud!

Meet the real me

I'm Mario Rosas and I hail from Parts Unknown. I currently am established in Norman, Oklahoma.

Designer
I'm an interactive designer with a passion for clean, usable sites and "juiced up" graphics. I'm giddy for all things well designed. I like using photography, love typography and, like Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, truly believe "ain't nothin' like the real thing baby."

Drummer
Music is my first love. I see shows, play instruments, listen to music with headphones and am at my best behind a drum kit.

Lover
I love things. Ill show you. I've also sired the child who will one day be king.
