Frazier Foundation

Background:
Former heavyweight champ Joe Frazier has a non-profit organization to mentor and teach children through boxing and other challenging activities. Their goal is to produce "Life Champions" through these programs that are designed for urban youth.

Challenges:

I used javascript rather than flash for the rotating photograph portion of the site.  Javascript is more accessible for the average user, and loads faster and more efficiently.
I drew my inspiration for the colors of the site from boxing gloves: burgundy and gray.

The client was very pleased with the outcome.

Update:

The Frazier Foundation has since closed.  An archive of their site can be found at www.tomdisher.com/frazier/index.html
