Working alongside the fine folks at 14Four, I developed several Flash modules for a Martek Biosciences partner site called “Beautiful Minds.” These modules were built in AS3, with the content driven via XML. Be sure to play around with the 3D Brain Health feature, and ask yourself… can HTML5 do that? (spoiler: the answer is no)
Tek-Innovations provides plexiglass services to customize your arcade “fight stick.” What? You don’t have a fight stick? That’s okay. You can still enjoy the fancy flash interface. Customers can design their own layouts, which are stored using SVG data into a database, and are ultimately laser-cut and delivered to their door. Not bad for a SWF file under 100k, huh?
The lovely folks at NBBJ contacted me in an effort to rework their corporate site entirely in Flash. The next thing I knew, I was working alongside two very talented designers, an in-house team of writers, video editors and a database engineer. All in all, it was an extremely inspiring experience. The dynamic URL feature is pretty cool, too.
The party might be over, but The Honda Ski Tour lives on. During the winter of 2006, we kicked off the inaugural event with a trip into a Ski Bum’s cabin- complete with green screen video, a customizable audio playlist and cameos from some of the sport’s finest athletes. Check out the load bar messages if you want to know what the festival was like.
Earth 101, by Newdle Design, was intended to take under-publicized environmental issues, condense them down into “pint sized” pieces of information and spread awareness. Accessible to web browsers, print, PDAs and cell phones, Earth 101 was built on a sophisticated CSS and PHP system, which also formats URLs in a user-friendly way.
