‘A sort of work blog’

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

This site works as a sort of online portfolio for Tobias Sturt.

There are write ups on some of the various projects I’ve worked on as well as links where they’re relevant.

My work is generally split between client-side development - mostly HTML and Flash, with some server side work, too - and more creative work - creating solutions, development, design - but often they involve both, being involved and running projects from start to finish.

The blog is organised in date order, so more recent work will be at the top. You might find it easier to browse using the Category links in the right hand menu.

Enjoy.

Planet Protectors

Monday, January 8th, 2007

Planet ProtectorsPlanet Protectors are a new range of environmentally aware action figures from the Early Learning Centre.

I helped develop the site and and its content. I built it in Flash to Will Richards’ colourful and dramatic designs.

The aim was to give the children an online destination that complemented and expanded on the world of the characters.

To this end the majority of the content is held in XML which is then pulled into Flash templates. This means that the site can easily be updated and expanded, turning it into an evolving, living online resource.

Planet ProtectorsI also helped develop the characters of the figures themselves, along with Finbar Hawkins, fleshing out their world and storylines. I wrote an ‘origins’ story as an online comic for the site.

I also wrote the content for an online encyclopedia for the site to expand on the environmentally aware message of the figure range.

The entries in the encyclopedia are tied into the backstory of the characters and the events of the online comic, giving the children the opportunity to learn mroe about the world of the Planet Protectors.
