WILLIAM GANDY WEB PORTFOLIO
NEW WORLD ORDER TRAVELING-SOUL ROAD-SHOW
OVERVIEW
I was approached to do this project because of my enthusiam for social justice and reform. As such, much of the work done is on a pro-bono basis. The goal was to create a web presence that appealed to individuals who have no clue as to the fraudulent practices and strategies of those who are espousing the New World Order as being a "good thing".
MISSION
The New World Order Road-Show's mission is to expose fraudulent propaganda which weaken the moral fiber of citizens, making them numb to blatant injurious programming. The principles of the project felt that since The New World Order was brainwashing people, that they could brainwash them back.
The end goal of the project is to distribute content as a digital clearing-house, from a wide variety of sources. This was a joy to program and is an ongoing project because it involves a scheduling and road-show component, as well as video-broadcast production distribution strategies.

DEVELOPMENT NOTES
Initial organizational design was done in Apple Pages to layout the message, so it would flow. Large screen public domain images were downloaded from pixabay.com, pxhere,com and unsplash.com.
Logos were created next in Photoshop, to get the creative juices flowing. After initial logo ideas were discussed. Began laying out basic design in Dreamweaver.
Used the Bootstrap template, jQuery javascript library, isotope.js. library and owl.css slider library. Incorporated the Photollax engine to achieve the zoom in and out animations.
The project's goal is to become a clearing house of resources, so it was easier to use iFrames than to develop individual pages for each source, reference or affiliate page. The Ajax iFrame strategy incorporates loading of external files into the parent document. This technique allows for independent development of web content and delivery. Even though loading external files is problematic due to user-linking issues, this method made the most sense for independent development and ease of updating of web content. It utilizes a permalink strategy to assure users can link correctly to iFramed pages.
Currently working on populating downloads pages, articles, public domain links and associated affiliate programs.
