(more…)

This is one of the neatest things I’ve seen in a while (if you have a webcam). Try letting the snow pile up on your head and shoulders and then brushing it off. Pretty cool, eh? Thanks to Darren for sending this one over.

Lovely toy… I just wasted an hour and I don’t want to stop.

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/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!
