We Came From Mars

We Came From Mars create mobile games and apps from outer space. Their projects focus on real-time interactive 3D graphics, music, storyline and above all, fun.

As part of my full time job in Enjoythis i developed this cute single page site using the wonderfull initializr html5 template. It employs massive imagery and a few cool jQuery tricks.

We also implemented a stripped down version for mobile browsers and the popoular tiny little touch screen.

Enjoythis - Digital Studio

Enjoythis.co.uk is my latest project and the first time I've put my hands into PHP, CSS and jQuery. Fully implemented with Wordpress, this site employs nice interactions in the works section, unless you 're using Internet Explorer. A secondary theme was developed for mobile browsers.

I am currently working in Enjoythis and this was my first task when i got hired. We do have a coffee machine now.

George Valmas - Illustrator

This is the personal portfolio of my x-colleague George Valmas, from my days in tria. I designed, and built the entire site in just a few days, without any pressure or stupid requirements. Just some nice feedback from the "client". The result was beautiful, far beyond my expectations

It draw a lot of interest from the community and it was bookmarked in many cool websites like, newwebpick, gouw, zeroin etc. and also won the ebge 2010 award for the category corporate and product websites. Unfortunately its no longer online.

Dolphins Communication Design

Dolphins Communication is a design group based in Thessaloniki, Greece that deals with art direction, design and illustrations. The site is a "cousin" to Cornilia Photography, as it shows full bleed background images for the projects and a nicely interactive menu for the portfolio.The community found this, fully XML parsed, employing Papervision3D, website very interesting.

As a result it received some important recognition and was featured in various showcases where i regularly seek for inspiration. Hopefully it inspired others as well.

Cornilia Photography

Cornilia is a young and talented photographer. Her portfolio presents a wide range of professional and fine art works and it's my first freelance project as well as my first ever attempt to use papervision3D and deep linking commercially.

An interesting 3D parallax effect was created for the portfolio menu using layers of bitmaps extracted from Cornilia's images.

Tria Poulakia Kathontan

Tria Poulakia Kathontan (Three birds were sitting) is a self promotion project for tria. An agency from Greece that -sadly- i was working with. The task was to create something to communicate how we could use new technologies. The visitors could watch a small video sending this message and order their stereoscopic glasses for free.

Med, Swim in Gold - Summer 2008

Campaign website of med lingerie-swimwear for summer 2008. I did the background with a few lines of code (a perlinNoise and a bitmap) and the text effects using the txEff from jumpeye components. It's the first thing i did with AS3 and from that point, i left behind my old AS2 habits and i never wrote such a messy procedural code again, or used a third party component.
