Beauti-Tone Paint Home Designer Launched

Home Hardware recently launched the Beauti-Tone Paint Home Designer. You can now customize the look of dozens of stock photographs using Beauti-Tone’s large selection of paint swatches and coordinated paint palettes. Users have the ability to save their projects, email their projects to a friend, calculate the amount of paint they will need, save their favourite paint swatches, and even print their completed project.

Home Hardware also launched the Beauti-Tone Paint Colour Finder. This desktop application allows users to drag an eyedropper over any image on their computer and find the nearest matching Beauti-Tone colour.

We developed the Home Designer using Adobe Flex, Java and db4o. We developed the Colour Picker using Java. Congratulations to everyone at RenoWorks for bringing this project to life.

ArtPad: A Collection. A Connection

ArtPad

While working at Rare Method our team invested a lot of effort into designing and developing this great interactive Flash and HTML/CSS hybrid site. ArtPad was commissioned by the Calgary Glenbow Museum for the purpose of informing and interesting youth in contemporary art. I’m not sure when this site finally went live, but chances are that you have never seen or even heard about it, as I was unable to find a press release or news article anywhere. Take a few minutes to check it out. I think you will enjoy it and maybe learn a thing or two about contemporary art.

Try Apollo For Yourself

You can finally try Apollo for yourself. The alpha version of Apollo was released to the public on Adobe Labs this morning. This version lacks a lot of functionality that the final product will have, but gives us a chance to get our feet wet in the meantime.

You can download it here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/apollo/

Adobe CS3 will be announced on March 27th

The end of the long anticipated wait for Adobe Creative Suite 3 is almost here. I got my first glimpse of the goodness to come in Las Vegas at Adobe MAX 2006. I expect the differences between Adobe and Macromedia products will finally come to an end as the best of both worlds are merged into one. Of course I’m mainly interested in Flash CS3. I never managed to make it onto the beta testing list and the Flash 9 alpha was Flash 8 with ActionScript 3 support, which was fun to play around with, but boasted no new interface enhancements and other goodies. Friends who did make it onto the beta have told me about some of the new features and I’m pretty stoked to try them out for myself.

Rolex.com Redesign Launched Today

I thought this day would never come. The soon to be award winning Rolex.com redesign has finally been launched.

Screen shot of the new Rolex site

Before leaving Critical Mass I spent around three months on the Rolex team helping out on the development side of this site. Although the site appears to be completly Flash to the common user, it supports deep linking and it is search engine friendly. If the user does not have Flash installed it degrades gracefully to an HTML version.

The design is incredible, featuring stunning photographs of scenery from around the world as well as many very gorgeous models, and of course plenty of beautiful watches that most of us will never be able to afford.

Congratulations to everyone involved in creating this site.
