neverbeat flash version 2 03.29.04
Version 2: Flash Component

This version of Neverbeat only took 1 1/2 weeks to complete to a point of release, for the most part. This was a hurried project due to months of work on a previous version that was ultimately abandoned due to issues of complexity versus deadlines. It was a project that I would like to release in a formal finished sense, and not as a experimental prototype.
In this new Flash Version, I concentrated mostly on accessibility and ease of use. Every component of the site downloads separately, to minimize download time, and to increase accessibility for people with slow conections. The 'bug' appears within the initial download, to distract you from any download time.

Version 1.5: Flash Component

After realizing that Neverbeat.com should just be a portfolio site for myself, to keep the scope of the project more attainable and simpler, I started building a new Flash version, with design enhancements, more personal content and a more intelligent structure.
Due to drawbacks from using Flash only, I decided to build a parallel HTML version, for those who don't have the proprietary Flash plugin, or for those who prefer HTML.
Playground 05.29.03
Playground (Now Offline)

After months of experimentation with many types of multimedia, I decided that I had a lot of spare parts, so to speak. I wanted to show my loose ends, rather than just my finished work. I had a lot of Flash components, Photoshop experiments and audio experiments that I thought were too good to hide. Due to an exhausting amount of work, Playground was discontinued.

Version 2: HTML Component (Now Offline)

This HTML version of Neverbeat was never really completed. It was up and running, but lacked a focus on Audio. This site was entirely hand coded, without Dreamweaver, and had a great deal of SSI in its architecture, which has its advantages while coding by hand. I built it as a counterpart to the Flash version of Neverbeat.

Version 1: Flash Only (Now Offline)

I started Neverbeat.com two years ago, as a Flash-only site. The site was originally intended to be an online multimedia gallery for people who wanted to “hang” their art online. But as the site developed, I realized what a complex project this would be. The original release of Neverbeat portrayed the intent to recruit other artists‘ work.
