Flourish is by far the biggest project I’ve worked on. It’s the joint efforts of 4 students who produced Flourish over several months. It was our Final Project in my our 3rd year of the course and my roles was programming.
Above is a video of someone playing through Flourish.
You can play through Flourish yourself by clicking HERE and you can view the development blog if you are into that sort of thing

This was an assignment that we had to to for a programming module on the Creative Media course about a year ago.
The user is allowed to click on the screen 6 times and place “x”‘s where clicked. When the 6th “x” was placed, they are all removed and then a marker moved from point to point in the order they were clicked and this is to go on a loop until the user clicked reset.
The Background is white so you can’t see it but click in the white space just below this text.
A simple Exam Grade Calculator that tells you whether you got a Fail, Pass, High Pass (Merit) or a Distinction in an Exam. It’s one of my first programming assignments.

A short piece that myself (@sean_smyth) and Patrick (@NeverMonkey) worked on for college.
A short Composition that I had to do for College. I had to incorporate some elements of an animation I made, original footage I shot, found video and music in whatever way I could. It was my first time doing anything apart from chopping up clips in Final Cut Express so don’t judge to harshly. Oh, and it was done ages ago.
Below are some images that I designed for a book I made last year. The book’s content was to cover some of the designers that we studied in the theory aspect of the module. The style I used was supposed to emulate the syle of the original artist and I think I’ve achieved that.
A college project that I did for a “Digital Visualisation and Design” module in college. I decided to take a photo of my grandfather made up using lots of things that reminded me of him. I asked my mother questions about him like past employment and what he liked to do in his free time.
I was asked to do a 30 second animation for some PR students and I whipped this up fairly quickly. It was my first time doing anything in After Effects and the audio and low resolution images were what was given to me.
I learned some pretty cool things about After Effects from doing this though and hopefully I can just keep improving on them.

I was at a lecture from Mark Swaine the Creative Director of Squire today which proved to be an excellent and informative class.
One thing I came away with though was a feeling that I should really delve into AfterEffects a lot more. I’ve messed around with it but Mark says that he loves using Flash and AfterEffects and, although it might sound a bit stupid, that was a combination I can’t say I’ve ever thought of using before.
He showed us how they can be combined to make some truly dazzling websites and videos. Granted, these companies have big budgets and years of experience under their belts but this stuff is just awesome.
And the absolutely hilarious Viral Site for the Pomegranate Phone.
There is no reason not to give it more of a go seeing as there is more than enough tutorial sites to help get started such as;
If anyone has any relevant sites to share be sure to comment.
Hey all, hopefully someone can help me.
I’ve a blog for a project I’m working on and I’ve a Facebook Page for the same. I’ve no problem displaying the blog posts on the FaceBook page’s wall, it’s the next step that’s gettin’ me.
I want the fans of my FB page to be able to see the latest update on their home wall’s. It’s nothing new. Lamebook.com and Komplett.ie both do it but I don’t see how they are doing it either.
Google didn’t yield anything for me and it’s something that’d be very handy.
Thanks, Sean
