Skysprout (Work in progress)

I have been involved in this exciting new project for a children’s clothing brand “Skysprout”, mainly creating xhtml and css for the theming. I am working alongside one other Developer and an Art Director to produce an eCommerce experience which we hope will grow Skysprout’s online presence. For this project we decided to use Magento (an open source eCommerce solution) to power the store and integrate Wordpress to handle the front-end.

Bank of England

Within the project I got to use a wide range of skills from Css to Flash As3. I started by setting up the wordpress environment and getting it ready for development. Once the site was in place it was required to produce a mini interactive tour of the bank. For this I decided to use flash As3 to keep in congress with the flash produced to handle the video content. As well as the code development of the site I was also able to get involved in creating the video content using Cs3 After Effects.

Caroline Bird

This website promoting poet Caroline Bird  required us to put ourselves into the mindset of creating something for an individual, rather than a brand/company. Our approach was to provide a blank page so that the poetry would be the focus.

This was a technically interesting project… I chose Steven Sacks’ Gaia Flash Framework as a basis for the Flash build and built 3d assets in Swift. We used ActionScript 3 and PHP to code a Flash/Wordpress integration so that the site could be managed easily by Caroline.

Campus Ali

I worked on the concept, built a WordPress installation, used xhtml/css to build the theme and shot and edited an introductory video for this blog. Stafford Long wanted to promote their graduate recruitment marketing services - we identified the agency’s unique selling point in this area as having a dedicated resource (a Campus Analyst) who travels the country researching and gathering information on university campuses.
