Web Publish Flash
Agency: DAD - 2004.
WEBPublish Flash is the name of a Flash Content Management System I developped for the account of Digital Age Design, one of Belgium's leading Internet agency. I took in charge the design, functional analysis, architecture, and front-end development (ActionScript) of the whole application, as well as its integration with an existing back-end solution (.NET/PHP).
The application features about everything needed in a WYSIWYG CMS targetting SME's with standard web-presence needs : Site structure management, rich text editing, image manipulation, tables, forms and basic statistics. Refer to the images and animations above for a more complete list of available features.
Special care was given to the application's architecture, in order to facilitate the quick integration and maintenance of managed websites, as well as allowing extensibility with custom widgets (forms, news ticker, weather display, ...), developped on a per-project basis.
Check http://ww.greshambelsonhotel.com for an example of a WEBPublishFlash managed website.

Miss Wonder
Agency: Bureau347 - September 2006
Mini-site for Wonderbra. The pitch behind this website was to allow women to create their own cover of a fictious brand magazine, named Miss Wonder. Once the cover created, it can be sent via email to the contestant's friends, trying to make them believe the contestant became Wonderbra's new model. Contestants receive a dynamically generated PDF coupon, and visitors are later on encouraged to vote for their favorite covers, and/or to create their own.
Art Direction by Bureau 347, Flash animation, architecture, ActionScript and PHP development by myself.

Lolitas
Personal project - since 1999.
Lolita is the name of a 3D characted I created at the end of 1999. Based on a 2D Flash toy I made for my first website, it was at first designed to illustrate the different sections of my second website, which I never finished, for various reasons. Since then, I did a few visuals using that characted in various conditions, most of the time reflecting a personal mood or feeling.

Wedding invitations
Personal project - June 2005.
Invitations for my very own wedding. The theme of the wedding being Venice, we decided to work on the concept of playing cards, because it allowed to make subtle references to Venice (icononography, costumes, gaming history) and because it fitted perfectly with the functional constraint of multiple cards invitation (cocktail, dinner, party).
Original concept by my wife and I, illustrations and layout by myself.

Metaform
January 2004
Flash website for Luxemburg-based architecture office Metaform. The concept behind the site was to create something as compact as possible, all the core info being listed on a little handy, simple, card (which's format is based on the business cards of the firm). All the extra information (project details p.ex) are on separated cards, appearing on demand. This approach, and the overall look of the site, was inspired by the design work of the studio, very humble and simple yet contemporary...
