Wednesday afternoon was the official start with the Welcoming Reception at the Native Canadian Centre, followed by the Opening Night Screening at the Bloor Cinema. Wednesday was a wrap w/ the Opening Night Party at The Century Room.

After 2 weeks of straight coding, reviewing images and rebuilding the portfolio… I’m honoured to finally present the new Red Works website! Visitors to the old site will notice that much of the style has remained the same re: colours & branding, but some key features have been added: The entire site has been transferred to WordPress; Two portfolios (BW/ Tints + Colour) highlighting 5 albums each; One new photo “Series” section, currently featuring “Concrete Indians” portraits; Updated “Rates & Services” page w/ redesigned Rate Card (pdfs); Redesigned watermark/ logo stamp; Integrated Calendar; and New Links page; The portfolio galleries feature hundreds of images of landscape, still-life, event coverage, Native musicians, actors/ actresses, role models (379 images total, in 11 different galleries/ ‘digital portfolio books’). There are still a few minor tweaks, but for the most part the site is complete! Be sure to come back often as RWS celebrates the beauty of our First Nations people. In unity & light, Related Post – Aug. 24th Website Re-launch!

RWS is currently being revamped; I’ve decided to do upgrades to the website live, as it happens, so please bear with me as the site undergoes a much needed overhaul… (content, aesthetics, interactivity + functionality). Check back to see the progress over the next week, or if you’d rather see the whole shebang when it’s all done, consider signing up for updates via the RWS mailing list. You will be notified of the launch once the upgrade is complete. In unity & light, (Note: Visual graphics & images you see during the upgrade may or many not have been created by me. They serve as generic content/ placeholders until the RWS brand and portfolio images are plugged.)
