Original portfolio

Personal

My original online portfolio that I produced at the beginning of 2008 was purely flash based. I am still very fond of this site but decided to create a new one that is much easier to update with a better structure. Click the image below to view my original website in a new browser window.

Millers Gin and Triibe website

Spinach Design

I was asked to help design and update websites for 2 drinks companies. Millers Gin wanted to make some alterations to their complex flash site and update the cocktail menu. Amongst other things, this involved preparing the photographs of their new cocktails ready for web and redesigning the cocktail page. I used basic actionscript 2.

A new alcoholic liqueur called Triibe required some new features and alterations made to their prototype flash website. I created rollovers and buttons using actionscript and prepared the site ready for launch. Click the images below to view the sites in new browser windows.

Jackpot attract loop

Inspired Gaming Group

Attract loops are probably best explained as "informative screensavers" used on public gaming terminals. They are short animated flash clips that run on the terminal when a game is not being played. They generally advertise games and prizes to attract customers to play. The tricky part is designing new attract loops that still grab people's attention. It was for that reason that I decided to create a 3D loop for the graphics team, since they had predominately been 2D up to date. The brief was to advertise the new £35 jackpot that was available on the itbox. Unfortunately I wasn't able to include as many coins raining down as I had wanted due to the terminal's low Ram.

Alice Stevens web intro

I produced a flash intro sequence for the website of photographer Alice Stevens. The brief was that it should be no longer than 4 seconds long and it should be bright, original and give a strong feeling of colour since a lot of her work is about colour.
