Erock! Design

Erock! Design.com was conceived and created over a period of time during 2004 and 2005. The purpose and intent was to create a portfolio presentation showcasing some of my signature projects in graphic design, web design and experiments in motion design.

Built entirely in Flash, I wanted a presentation that was both eye catching and engaging. Many hours of research, study and production were required to get the final piece of work just right.

The site was up live from 2005 through 2010, at erockdesign.com. While I retain control over the domain, it is currently inactive.

With the advent of html5, css3 and design trends moving toward search engine friendly websites, it was time for Erock to retire.

Bill Schwab Design 2010

Originally published as a Portfolio collection in the Fall of 2010. Its purpose was to showcase a wide variety of work in different formats from approximately 2002 to 2010.

Built in HTML and CSS, the site uses an XML file to present the information for the projects presented. The file is expressed using XSL stylesheets.

What is XSL?

XSL is a language for expressing style sheets. An XSL style sheet is, like with CSS, a file that describes how to display an XML document of a given type. XSL shares the functionality and is compatible with CSS2 (although it uses a different syntax). It also adds:

A transformation language for XML documents: XSLT. Originally intended to perform complex styling operations, like the generation of tables of contents and indexes, it is now used as a general purpose XML processing language. XSLT is thus widely used for purposes other than XSL, like generating HTML web pages from XML data.
Advanced styling features, expressed by an XML document type which defines a set of elements called Formatting Objects, and attributes (in part borrowed from CSS2 properties and adding more complex ones.

How Does It Work?

Styling requires a source XML documents, containing the information that the style sheet will display and the style sheet itself which describes how to display a document of a given type.
