[Work] My first app for Blackberry Playbook

I’m happy to share with you one of my happy news for this week. You can read on the fine details at : http://bit.ly/hgvZIG

It’ll be available for download on the App World for free!

Will you be getting a Playbook once it’s ready on sale at your country?
I will also be sharing an in-depth detail on a workflow as a hybrid designer/developer in publishing your app to the App World. This includes developing inside Flash Professional, and then package for submission into App World (using Terminal).

I have to admit, it is not the world’s most smooth sailing journey in app submission process, but once you get past that barrier, the return is priceless. I would like to express my thanks to you

[Works] MINI x MINIMALISM x MANMENG

This time around it’s something unusual for me to do, especially when this requires a heck amount of copy pasting and tracing which I’ll be only doing back when I’m 18. Looking back, time has really passed since I graduated from my secondary school. And this time around I completed one work for this call for entries! MINIMALISM x MINI x MANMENG.

“Every single component and structure that formed MINI is shown through the entire artwork itself and what makes MINI, MINI. MINIMALISM for me, is not only a movement, it’s an expression, quality and identity.”

Making soap with Just Life™ Malaysia

It might be come to me as a surprise that I still had these pictures down inside my hard disk, which I was supposed to share this experience out 1 year ago after the trip. In case you are wondering, throughout the enjoy of this journey, is to make an organic soap! Which of course some of you might already seen the end outcome, The Sabun Flower. The entire process of molding and shaping the soap is available for read on this page.

The end product. That are supposed to be placed on the Just Life shop in Ikano Power Centre, PJ for a short period of time to promote their products to the consumers.

[Works] BudakPantai.com

It’s towards the end of the year, and I’m glad it ends with this interesting project that started of as an experimental ground for the illustrator and for me as well, to play with scripts and performance control in a Flash site using Actionscript 3.0. The site is packed with lots of juice and preferences or settings are controlled through external XML(s).

You can go to the site now at : http://www.budakpantai.com

While I only take care of the implementation and backend for the site, I’m delighted on how it turned out in the end, performance and aesthetically speaking. What do you think?

Things that I can think of in implementing the comment system :

• Take existing XML guestbook script
• Modify it and revise it to use with Flash
• Flash takes in the chunk of the XML structure from the existing file, holds it to the memory, and if user inputs new data, combine old with new data
• and sends the whole chunk of data as raw POST data
• on the server side, a php file will do the dirty job in saving the POST data as .xml file.
