My lovely & uber talented wife recently launched her new portfolio with the help of yours truly. When it comes to portfolios I believe the minimalist approach is the way to go, but for her as a designer we needed to be a lil more robust. By utilising the latest features available in Flash Player 10, I think we created an engaging site without all the overhead. So have a look at some award winning sites & concepts.

At the beginning of the year I jumped on board and started using the FLARToolkit. Coincidentally shortly after that Lee over at The Flash Blog posted a tutorial on the subject. Since that time AR has spread like wildfires thru Southern California. Come September a friend was pitching an idea around AR and needed a proof of concept. Having done some work previously in the field I was happy to oblige. This is the product of a couple nites work. (You will need the marker from the GE Smart Grid which can be found on the link below.)
Now it should be noted that the GE Smart Grid was originally done with the cover of Popular Science in Director using a custom Xtra that does not require the use of markers. It was then ported to the Flash based version we are all more familiar with. The Director/Shockwave’s 3D, responsiveness and level of interactivity (you can blow into your microphone to spin the wind turbines) is far superior to Flash’s.
Constantly directing,
