Rate my Throw!

This was a great little project that came our way. Myself and Ian were tasked with producing a fun and interactive challenge for Rate my Placement. The end product was a game called “Rate my Throw” in which the player is confronted with a member from the team and a barrage of snowballs. The player must use their skill to dodge and throw snowballs until they meet the next challenger, hopefully gaining a good enough score to get to the top of the scoreboard. The game was designed, illustrated and built using Flash and some very slick As3 from my esteemed colleague.

DSTL ‘Sensors’ MPU

The objective for this expandable sensors ad banner for the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) was to recreate the suspense and threat that would come from being in an unfamiliar situation. DSTL has the technology and experience to assist in counter-measurement of threats. I came up with the concept with an AD and did the build in Flash/AS2

One of the challenges we had was that we were not allowed to disclose any technology in place due to confidentiality, so the design/concept had to be relatively broad and illustrative!

Southern Railway ‘Not for lightweights’

I conceived, designed and built this playable banner for Southern Trains. ‘Not for Lightweights’ is our approach to advertising an apprentice scheme for railway engineers. Targeted at 16 year olds, the apprenticeship programme is intensive and not for the those who want an easy option.

0.03 seconds

According to the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), there is only 0.03 seconds to react in locking a target and firing a missile. The Sensors & Countermeasures department in DSTL is there to study, implement and prepare those on the field on how to react, with the help of technology. This skyscraper is aimed at potential graduate recruits… I opted for a playable ad using arcade style pixelated graphics to attract the audience and get the message across in a powerful, engaging way.

Spend cash online with 3V

This was an interesting freelance project that came my way for 3V to produce an array of video format advertising in stations/the London Underground using existing LCD panels. The LCD Panels in question are mid-sized screens which communicate with customers in corridors and as they exit stations.

Can you get everyone across the water safely?

I based this game on the popular ‘Chicken Crossing’ puzzle (when a man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river). I was responsible for all of the design and Flash/ActionScript work. The man has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing….well, that’s the theory!
