mod7 helps the BC Region of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada website get a facelift, through the design of page section banners and graphics.

Amit’s Game Programming Information

Amit is a hobbyist game programmer. He must see lots of action.

But I digress. Cause I’m actually reading everything on his site and enjoying it.

Oh, man, how deviously fun!!

Encryption is for sissies. If you have a wireless network in your home that your neighbor is mooching off of, this page gives you a few pointers on how to make their web experience more entertaining: Upside-Down-Ternet

I prefer the blurry net rather than any sort of redirecting.

This certainly tempts me to open up our network…

(Thanks, Pete Stevens!)

Rapid prototyping of interactive ideas and concepts is a powerful tool in developing interactive projects. It helps the client visualize a designer’s otherwise ambigious design-school-speak, while also helping the designer to validate and articulate what’s in their head. Of course, you need to be pretty adept at your craft (in this case, Flash design) to be able to roll out this stuff quickly.

Now that the HLA project is done (though not yet billed!), I can share some of the rapid prototypes that were built but didn’t quite make it intact into the final product (though the spirit is still there).

Here are some samples of early rough and dirty concepts:

• http://hla.mod7.com/_prototypes/discipline01.swf
• http://hla.mod7.com/_prototypes/discipline03.swf

Want the source code? Here you go, warts and all (and no warranty implied whatsoever). Remember, these prototypes are rapid, so they’re not well-documented or built “the right way”: http://hla.mod7.com/_prototypes/source.zip (1.43 MB). Have fun!

The HLA Group Website, a joint production of mod7 and local friends BURNKIT, launches today. mod7 contributed creative conceptual prototypes and a Flash frontend powered by a fully client-controlled, custom, Content Management System. Have a look: www.hlagroup.com.
