Today saw the launch of SixCrayons.com, a new design blog focussing on six main categories of front end web development, from design to additional enhancements using scripting languages such as Flash and JavaScript.
Although I have a hand in the majority of categories, JavaScript is something I have a keen interest in and was asked to write a short tutorial on a JS related subject. Read More
Over the past few months I have been working alongside Nick to produce a more exciting presentation of the sites owned and operated by Fubra Limited, in the form of Fubra World.
We first saw a glimpse of Fubra World at the end of 2007, after Nick put together a simple flash animation of a small town that he had sketched and added some interaction to.
At the end of 2008 it was decided that we would give it a bit of a facelift. The process involved nick re-drawing the town in isometric and myself learning ActionScript 3 to allow for a more interactive presentation. Read More
It has recently come to my knowledge that an act I participated in a few months ago has leaked into public view in the form of a media project by a year 10 pupil from Calthorpe School in Fleet, Hampshire.
Now in year 11, the student – who we shall refer to as B. Haines – had obtained video footage of myself (in costume) and put into practice his new found video editing skills using a trail version of Video Edit Magic to produce “Death of Mr. Box Man”.
Not only was this used towards his GCSE Media Studies, I have more recently found out that it was played at the school during the final year 10 assembly.
Although I am undoubtedly the main star of the show, all credit must go to Nick Haines for the high quality video recording skills, and Ben for his acting, polishing of the final cut, additional textual commentary and great choice of music – nice work guys!
