MDO Tirus ru
A Flash intro for a Russian pipes and metal construction trading company.
The animation idea is by
Intellectual Resources. My
part was to implement their ideas in Flash. It includes pretty advanced ActionScript:
random movement, transformations, etc.
I made the intro and navigation bar, the rest is theirs.
Jean Francois
A Flash intro for a French action painter and performer who lives in Las Vegas.
This is the first draft. When the animation loads, hit M to load the music or Q to stop it.
You can use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate scenes. Later I continued to work with
this client, it grew into a collaborative effort with
R&R Group and the FINAL VERSION can be found at
JF's site.
Liniya Prava
My model cite, if you ask me. A Russian law firm of very good standing. All formatting in CSS. No tables were used for layout. Perfect example of good usability and streamlined simplicity in design.
Greenville
This is not a site. It's a presentation in Flash
for the Greenville Convention & Visitors Bureau. It was distributed on
Mac/PC multimedia CDs.
Attention:
It's a CD presentation! The size is 4mb and the download time may be long.
Schoolplex
This Flash site was made for Bonitz, a construction company,
to advertise the benefits of SchoolPlex™,
their new approach to construct cost-effective school buildings quickly.
Check out the Build a School section , pseudo-3d model of a school being built
in real time. Had to use a real 3d program to get the draft for the right perspective.
Envision
A totally Flash 5 site, later also a multimedia presentation based on the site.
One of my most advanced Flash projects.
It has animation, sound, RealVideo, cool navigation. Graphic theme by Katya Manjossova,
formerly of former Koonce Group, presently of
The IdeaHouse, Greenville, SC. I just assembled it and made it move and sqeak.
i-cards
Originally a contest draft. No such tradename I know of and no such product. I re-made it into a presentation
for IdeaHouse. Flash animation, no sound.
CIPR
The Coalition for Intellectual Property Rights.
I made the site originally, and supported it when I worked in R&R.
The present layout seems to be pretty much like I made it, except for the flash intro,
that's why the above link will bypass it, taking you first to my version of the intro,
then to the site proper.
USOU
A set of banners for United States Open University's online advertising campaign
for launching their distant learning program. Flash/GIF sets.
Dilmah ruualtlvee
Ceylon's tea manufacturer. My biggest multilanguage project, this site is in Russian,
Ukrainian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian languages.
It wasn't easy to make it without knowing these languages,
I had to learn a lot about encodings and stuff to correctly display all those funny characters.
Currently they are renovating the site. See the old copy.
Note: the region choice bar and frames were not present
in the original sites, they used to be separate sites with different URLs.
Narcostop.ru ru
A site for drug addicts and everyone willing to know more about this
problem. One of the first of its kind in Russia. Non-commercial. Since
the project is discontinued, I present here just a couple of pages—general
design ideas, homepage, navigation, 2 levels of subpages.
R&R Moscow
The site won Best Commercial Site Web Graphics Award
at the Advertising Festival of New Europe "Golden Drum'97".
The present site is different from the original 1997 version
of course. Maybe my best site. Simple, easy, clean. In the Web section of the site
one can see many sites which are the same as presented here. No wonder. I worked there
1996 thru 2000 as a freelancer and on the staff, they are a great team
and I still do odd jobs for them.
R&R Partners
A proposed site for the biggest (opinions vary) advertising agency in Las Vegas,
once upon a time a parent company of R&R Advertising Moscow.
Flash intro, CSS, animated Flash navigation bar icons. Unfinished.
The most interesting part—porfolio of print ads presented as vector-based fast-loading
Flash files, each in its own window, freely resizable so you can view them even fullscreen,
or print, with good enough resolution—not the usual blurry jpegs.
As far as I know, back in 1999 I was the first on the net to use Flash in this fashion, and
to my best knowledge I still am.
Tacis
No, I didn't make the big international site for this EU organization.
Just a big ego of its regional project leader who decided
to make the results of his work in Russia public. The site is enourmous
- more than 3000 files. I basically made the homepage and laid down subpage
design guidelines, along with styles to be used. Don't expect
any consistency further than 1 layer deep from the homepage—the Frenchman
didn't have the money to keep paying and Tacis obviously didn't care enough.
TNGS ru
Transneftegazstroy—despite the big name, just a long-haul trucking company. Europe-Russia.
They never paid up, and they still use it, but I don't mind—it was one of my first sites and
I like it. I just learned to take 50% prepayment. Recently they put it up, without ever asking me, at
some free hosting service (I'll find out). Respect for intellectual property
rights is a rare thing in Russia.
Tomorrowland
Was advertised as Moscow's first real musical. As part of their
ad campaign, I did this site—it loads fast, has info
about actors, performances, tickets and stuff. The producer wanted to make
a European tournee and recently approached R&R with a request to re-make it.
Never knew what came out of it. See the original version of 1999.
VHLV
That's Vacation Homes Las Vegas, just before the big thing about celebrating the year 2000.
The big idea was to merge several sites
into one because the rates were different depending on a person's purpose
for visiting, accomodations he might need, etc. A combination
of frames, table-layout HTML and layers, all outdated techniques by now.
