A Flash and XHTML website for the record label Balkan Vinyl. This features a bespoke audio player with real time visualisation and everything dynamically loading from XML. The sidebar and purchase details were kept in XHTML so that the site could gracefully degrade to non-flash browsers and to enable easier integration of 3rd party form handling for payment and mailing list management.

I built this Flash Hero for the Cancer Research UK Blog. It's an XML driven image and text carousel, with dynamic resizing and some accessibility extentions. Built in AS2 for their FP8-targetted site, and implemented within their CMS.

A flash based "hero" image carousel component for the front page of the Sky Arts website. This pulls in XML from the Sky Arts CMS system (based on expression engine) in the MediaRSS schema. It was originally written in AS2, but I rebuilt it in AS3 to take advantage of native namespace support in E4X which meant the backend developers could extend the XML to add meta data they required.

I was co-developer of this major interactive weather map for Sky News. This originally started as a Gmaps based build, but there were issues with the scope of detail that the API returned, so the client decided to go with a custom build. This hooks up to a 3rd party postcode database for geolocation information, and then maps a variety of the Sky News weather feed data across it.

A small bit of brochureware for a London based vocal ensemble, built as a favour quickly (approx half a day) to replace the unusable, innaccessible and non-compliant version they had before.

The Sky News Digital Signage system was built in 2007 as Sky News took over content provision for the Titan Transvision system of Digital Signage screens, mostly installed at major rail stations throughout London and the UK. The system has now been rolled out across 5 different Digital Signage systems including the Manchester based City Gateway landmark. The client application is built in Flash and parses a variety of feeds coming from Sky News to provide a dynamic, impactful News service across these systems. As well as support for video and images, the system supports localisation for weather information and timed schedules to deliver items of interest throughout the day.

A personal site for my band. I run the whole thing from a blogging engine, using it as a CMS for all sections of the site (i.e. in the music section, blogposts = web pages and I use the catagories to filter the content as the user requires). This is an approach that I'm quite a fan of (you're looking at another example right now) - Blog engine-as-CMS - They are lightweight enough to be easy and quick to deploy and change and give a high level of control to the user. B2Evolution is my engine of preference, due to the multi-blog capabilities and the file management, but I've also used wordpress in a similar fashion. Visit digitonal.com
