I was asked to help solve how to browse all of Citi’s programs for graduates for their global graduates site. Using a design based on filtering I designed and programmed this in Flash using a mixture of branded elements and customised Flash components. The program selector allows the user to browse through programs that match their situation and requirements simply and easily using an idea borrowed from filtering large sample libraries in some of my studio software.

Environment Agency Discovery Quiz
I recently designed and developed this accessible interactive quiz for the Environment Agency site. The brief stated that it needed to be 100% accessible to screen readers. This required some interesting work arounds and modifications in Actionscript continually testing using the JAWS screen reader. It has been tested by a visually impaired user and given the all clear!
Co-operative Blockbuster Game
This was a game I was asked to put together for Coop in Flash. Dynamic Hexagon layout using Flash’s drawing API.
You can check out the game at: http://www.co-operative.jobs/graduates/bee.aspx
Run! CBBC
Baldscone was involved in this great live multiplayer game developed by Monterosa for the BBC’s CBeebies channel. Specifically Baldscone was involved in designing and building the game levels.
NHS Gateway
The NHS Gateway to Leadership tool is a Flash 3D fly through questionnaire designed to allow graduates to explore what area of the NHS they might be suitable for. It uses Papervision to create a dynamic set of questions and interactive 3D scene.

Wood Mackenzie 3D Locations Globe
An interactive Flash papervision 3D globe showing the location and details of Wood Mackenzies global offices. Uses an XML feed to supply updated office information and allows the user to drag the globe around.
View it here.
nPower
Completed nPower site Flash components using Papervision and standard AS3. Used some bending code to distort video planes in PV3D and also call out to Javascript to update Google Maps via Flash. Also built Match Me Tool and locations image browser in Flash.
Yell Jobs site
I was the lead Flash developer on this project for Yell Jobs. The main page originally was going to use a Box2D physics engine but it was changed to the fish you see here. The animated bubbles and fish display the latest jobs for Yell from their jobs ATS database. The locations page was also a live data stream visualisation that I coded.
Pretty happy with the results – apparently it even won an award!

HSBC – Where do I fit in?

Cricket Australia kids throwing game
A simple online Flash game that was originally coded in Adobe Director and was ported to Flash as part of the games section of the Milo In2Cricket kids website.
See the game in action by click on the image above.
(It doesn’t seem to run on the website which WASN’T created by Baldscone!)
