I’ve been spending some time watching and thinking about documentaries. One of my all time favourites is Gary Hustwit’s Helvetica which was released in time for the font’s 50th birthday. Helvetica offers a look into some perspectives on design process, typography and some feelings on the font itself.
Objectified is Hustwit’s latest work, scheduled to release in Spring 2009.
I’ve had to upgrade my WordPress install to combat hacking of my custom theme. Until I get some time to build another template, I’m going back to the trusty default WordPress theme.
Worked with Irvin Cheung at iCheung Design to build the Seraph Weddings website.
It uses a Slideshow class that I’ve written – for some reason I’ve had lots of requests for photo slideshows over the past months.
More FuseKit on this project. Some class scoping issues in AS 2.0 that took many hours to overcome. AS 3.0 addresses these so I’ll be making the move on the next project and applying them here at a later date. More of my SlideShow class using setInterval, which can cause problems when using different pages that each call it. An infinitely running Fuse object would be best so I’ll be refactoring my SlideShow class to use it.
Designed the look and motion graphics with some help from Kevin Louis Design, for Kevin Louis Design.
Features an Actionscript 2.0 SlideShow library that I’ve written and used for a few sites. The library takes a MovieClip object on stage and attaches a crossfading, XML driven slideshow to it. With controls or automatically running, as shown in the “Neighbourhood” section of the Tramonto site.
An entirely Object Oriented website, save for the motion graphics at the introduction. XML driven map and gallery. Graphics by DCD.
The intro for this site was a single frame exercise in Flash OOP. It, as well as the accolades inside the site, draw data from an XML document that is managed by a CMS. CMS provided by WebHostWorks.net.
A website that uses the Fuse/Zigo animation engines for Flash quite extensively. Has Flash version detection and redirection and lots of bright colors.
The Capture OmniScape website features plenty of video footage in Flash 8. Footage from the actual security camera product was used, and voice talent was hired to produce a video-centric information website.
