Hey, I’m Vic!
Welcome to Depict Labs! My name is Victor and this is my personal site created particularly for showcasing some of the work I have done. Please take a moment to browse through the portfolio section where you will find some of the things I’ve been working on. If you have any questions, comments, or simply want to say hello - don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.
In a nutshell, I am a Graphic Designer with primary strengths in online presence, but very acquainted with print design as well. I am also a ”client-side“ or ”front-end“ developer. My strong languages are ActionScript 3 (Flash Builder and the Flash IDE) as well as HTML, CSS, and JQuery (JavaScript on steroids). I’m also capable, if the need arises to write SQL, PHP, and ColdFusion (I wrote some .Net stuff back then but probably not worth mentioning).
I have been in the field since 1997, but professionally since 2003. Many say I’m a rare breed as I am adept in graphic design and writing code. ”Most are strong on either one or the other“ but gracefully, I was forced in learning both. My early projects required concepts and when they were approved, required development. Hence, Photoshop and Dreamweaver became two of my greatest assets.

Recent Work Lately, I’ve been working on the Online Store for accesso, llc built using Adobe Flash Builder. This application handles all kinds of online store scenarios like up-sell, cross-sell, checkout-cross-sell, promo codes, etc.
If you’ve purchased tickets from SixFlags.com, chances are you bought them through this web application.
Skill Overview
Flash Builder: I have over three years of consistent hands-on experience with Flash Builder. I’ve also worked with ActionScript 3 since the language was released by Adobe.
Flash: Most of my initial projects began with Flash - you know, when having a site intro was the trend. This gave me opportunities to learn the IDE as well as the language (ActionScript 2 back then).
Dream Weaver: I love this tool! But I think I use it more for the code coloring and code hinting than anything else. This is my main tool for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript coding.
Coldfusion: I learned this language a long time ago, but as the sayings go, use it or loose it. I’ve had the pleasure of using it in some projects - so it’s not all gone.
Photoshop: Hmm... Great weapon in my arsenal. Can’t do anything without it. I’ve tried others, but non come close.
Adobe Illustrator: I mainly use Illustrator for creating logos, business cards, icons, and vector graphics. It’s a great tool that I’ve learned to love.
InDesign: This tool is solely used for print media design and layout. I’ve created catalogs, tri-folds, single page ads as well as spreads, and brochures using InDesign. Down with Quark! Just kidding Quark lovers =)
