Clothing designer Rey Aquino launched a new menswear collection last Spring, and requested a Steampunk clock to countdown the days until the launch. I also built a neo-futuristic “invention” in Flash with various “machine parts” stock image.

The “invention” looks pretty cool animated in Flash. Check it out, archived on my su-ling blois site. The clock keeps real time, as does the calendar. The other parts countdown to a specific date, in this case the date of an event.
I also built a custom theme for their WordPress website which they will be adding content to themselves. Many elements of the Flash clock were re-purposed for their Flash lookbook.

I skinned this WordPress blog for WonderSound Records, working from their design concept. Wireframes were used to layout the site.

This simple Flash site for designer Matt Austin focuses on the gorgeous, artsy photos of his work. It also has an online store which is a simple WordPress shopping cart tied to a Paypal account.

Emma and Nicki came to me 5 years ago looking for a stylish website that stood out from other authors’ websites. At the time I was making full Flash websites. Over the years I’ve added to and updated the site, often coordinating with a new book release. Currently I am transitioning their site out of Flash and into a WordPress site with a custom theme. We’re still using some older Flash animations here and there, but with fallbacks to ensure the site looks good on any device. I like to use WordPress for clients like Emma and Nicki who want to be able to update parts of the site themselves. One of my favourite Flash homepages for these authors of The Nanny Diaries was the one featuring their book Dedication.

• custom Flash graphics and animations
• frequent updates and maintenance
• newsletter design and management
• custom PHP mailing list form integrated into Flash site
• various graphic design for promotional ads and collateral

These are a few samples of Flash banners I have made.
