Shang-Chi Icon by Lee Millard

Tomorrow, Marvel Studios releases Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings in theaters. Shang-Chi is the newest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and is the first MCU theater-only release since the pandemic started. I’ve had some friends already see it tonight and I’ll be watching it with my kids this weekend. Here is my latest icon for my mcuchronology.com website. I initially said that this icon might be the easiest one I’d do so far, but boy was I wrong. I think it took me three or four iterations to replicate this logo. The lines are so important to be accurate–no guesstimating on this one.

Loki Icon by Lee Millard

Celebrating the Disney+ premiere of Loki, here is the new icon for the show that will eventually end up on mcuchronology.com. I decided to base this one off of his iconic horned helmet that he wore in Thor: Ragnarok. I’m very excited to see this show! I do need to update the website with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and a few others.

Interactive Marvel Cinematic Universe Timeline by Lee

Marvel Cinematic Universe Timeline

I've been working on a side project for some time now and I'm happy to release it into the world. I love all of the movies, shows, and shorts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) canon and wanted to create an interactive chronological timeline for them. I originally intended to use Articulate Storyline 2 because of their great new slider feature, but that quickly went downhill because of the shear pain on creating hundreds of separate images and triggers. I then moved on to Adobe Edge Animate and quickly fell in love. It was such a great experience to both learn that one software didn't live up to my expectations for a certain application and another I got to experiment and learn for the first time.The timeline includes Phases 1 and 2 of the MCU and is not yet responsive or adaptive (I will be working on that part later). It's best viewed on a screen resolution of 720 x 1280. Click here to experience the timeline for yourself and then click here to find out more about my design and development process.
