website design & development
Working with Magnum Opus I created a new version of their website that focused on their clients and projects. The site needed to be content managed so that they could keep projects up to date but they wanted to utilise Flash to allow for a richer user experience
Magnum Opus wanted a site that allowed the user to discover content based on the concept of a visual thesaurus. Content was grouped around similar words and clicking words created a new brach to follow. The website was built using AS2 and XML allowing the entire site structure to be controlled from an XML file making the site easy to update. This was my introduction to object oriented programming and changed the way I approached flash and programming projects.
The website remained live for about 12 months before the website was re-built.

I was involved in the initial development of the new website for Parks Victoria’s Ranger Roo. My role was as project manager and Flash developer with creative direction supplied by Magnum Opus.
Development included a CMS website with integration of Flash elements utilising AmfPHP flash remoting. The website featured flash games and a unique home page which allowed site members to create their own park which would be loaded as the home page when they visited the website. Park layouts were stored in the database and retrieved based on the member accessing the website.
