Photoshop fun.. Unused 
As STC expended to Singapore, we were asked by a local non-profit to create elements to support their effort. This included evites, a small site, events support, etc…
For the site we used my slidy navigation script I had developed for my friend Chad’s site.
I also used my simple Z order script to develop animations to play on LCD TVs during various events. Another test using this simple z depth implementation.
Detail of the new GUI
As part of the exploration process for re-branding Broadstreet Digital (BSD), I was tasked with updating the GUI of their platform. As far as I know this was never implemented internally by BSD’s IT team. The key here was to try to respect the original elements to allow for a quick and easy production of the new GUI. I tried to isolate and match the original images and re-skin existing elements as much as possible. I also tried to allow for most of the update to be CSS based.
3D renders of one option for a new logo icon
In late 2006 STC was commissioned by Arbinet to re-brand and re-design their site. As part of the exercise, I was asked to design some of the comps that were to be submitted to the client for review. Although these were rejected, I think they are cool enough to make it here…
Flash 6 goodness
Take Flash 6, TextField.getFontList(), HTML text support, a list component and a textfield: you have the STC fontBrowser. A few thousand users later we have a hit. It helped STC’s site rank higher and generated a buzz around the agency’s interactive production. Pretty nice considering that it was a very simple tool to develop.

An updated version of the fontBrowser in AS2 and with a new GUI.
Following the success of the fontBrowser I developed the STC Timetracker an online tool to keep track time spent on tasks. Although a lesser success I still get emails from people using it today.
Detail of the 3D illustration
This render was used to illustrate the 2003-2004 holiday card for Great Spirits. Modeled and rendered in Lightwave. The reflections and “fast” Fresnel took for ever to render on my work computer, at the time an AMD equivalent to a Pentium 2.

Flying cow render
Originally created for Great Spirits (now Castle Brands). This exploration was to be used to support the launch of a new Irish Cream drink. Can’t remember how we (STC’s brains) arrived at the flying cow idea, but I executed on it and did a quick model and renders in Lightwave. Although the idea didn’t “fly” with the client, I kept the flying cow as a visual element of wemakedotcoms. The original cow had green patches.
