360Flex : Day 2
Day 2 of the 360Flex Conference started out with the “Creating a Visual Experience in Flex” back-to-back sessions presented by Andy McIntosh and I. We were up ’til 3am putting the finishing touches on our slide deck and hands-on materials to get it to where we were happy with it. The informational session ran a bit short to allow more time for the hands-on, which worked out great. Just for grins I thought I’d show the app we were going to build, which was a Mix Drinks Recipe type application. Here’s the mock up I did:
We ended up making a much simpler example for the hands-on session to insure people were able to grasp the core methods we were discussing, rather than getting caught up in the code. If anyone’s interested in making this an app let me know. All the artwork for this app is vector and those drinks are prepped and ready to go in Flash. You can check out the slide deck for the informational presentation and the grab the source files for the hands-on session here. There’s also a nice list of resource links on that page.
After the presentation I was able to get out of the hotel and explore Seattle a bit to grab some lunch. Later on I caught David Colletta’s presentation on Buzzword, which was great. I’m definitely looking forward to day 3 and a trip to the Space Needle restaurant.

The mock up is beautiful! I almost wish i had a client needing something like that just to turn your mock up to a real application!
Btw Juan, do you usually freelance on design?
Great work. As always!
